As reported two days ago, Eric Ciaramella, the whistleblower in the Ukraine impeachment, admitted that he lied. He had no information. He anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country. That information was kept secret until recently, after the statute of limitations had passed. There is so much more to this story. For example, why didn’t John Ratcliffe reveal this in 2019? Why didn’t Schiff get charged along with the fake whistleblower? It was all in the Inspector General’s report. Conservative Treehouse has noted that ICIG Michael Atkinson, at the time of his testimony on September 19, 2019, and October 4, 2019, to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was not in a classified session. It was a closed-door meeting, but not classified. The people present were representatives Schiff, Himes, Seawell, Carson, Speier, Quigley, Swalwell, Castro, Heck, Welch, Maloney, Demmings, Krishnamoorthi, Nunes, Conway, Turner, Wenstrup, Stewart, Stefanik, Hurd, and Ratcliffe. At the time of the 2019 hearing, any member could’ve immediately gone to the microphone and told Americans that Ciaramella lied, but no one did. Later, Adam Schiff classified the Inspector General Atkinson testimony to hide it. Notice the names of the Republicans who knew and could have said something: Turner, Nunes, Stefanik, etc., and RATCLIFFE, now the CIA director. This was exculpatory evidence that should have been presented at the Impeachment trial. It destroys the underpinnings of the claim against Trump. There was no justification for it but a lie. The reverse was true as we all suspected. Biden was guilty of trying to extort Ukraine. It wasn’t until later that Adam Schiff classified the Atkinson testimony to hide it. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Mary McCord, Dan Goldman, Barry Burke, Steven Castor, and Norm Eisen drove the lawfare impeachment. None of those are a surprise since they continually set up other hoaxes to overturn the president and quash his agenda. These individuals are not facing consequences for this coup and other hoaxes. They continued to weaponize the ongoing investigation classification to keep the impeachment effort going, and continue the lawfare. Still, they retain their law licenses. Is the corruption too widespread? Why is Mary McCord always involved, and why is she never investigated? The Atkinson ICIG information used to impeach President Trump was never accessible to him. You can see from the list that some Republicans knew this. It’s especially disconcerting to know that John Ratcliffe was one of those present who kept silent. Why didn’t Ratcliffe release the information when he questioned Atkinson on December 9, 2019? President Trump fired ICIG Michael Atkinson on April 3, 2020, and then appointed John Ratcliffe as DNI. He was confirmed on May 26, 2020. This was after the impeachment acquittal. Why didn’t John Ratcliffe, then the DNI, release this information? He could’ve easily declassified it and released it. We should have known at that time. We didn’t find out until DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently asked for it. Could someone please clarify why John Ratcliffe did not release the report when he left in 2020? Could it have anything to do with the statute of limitations? Here is Ratcliffe in March of this year, stating that Adam Schiff covertly conspired with the impeachment whistleblower, CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, in an attempt to overthrow the sitting president of the United States. Schiff met with Ciaramella before he lied. Ratcliffe could have told us much sooner.

Ratcliffe: The whistleblower did not disclose to you that he or she had contact with HPSCI (House Intelligence Committee)? Atkinson: The answer to that is yes. The answer to that is yes. Atkinson: On the urgent disclosure form, there’s a question that the complainant is asked about who they have reported the violation to…and one of the boxes is the congressional intelligence committees.

The Manhattan court system is currently investigating Representative Eric Swalwell for sexual assault. Since he resigned, a second woman has come forward to say he raped her. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman has confirmed that former California Rep. Eric Swalwell is under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct, following a new accusation from Lonna Drewes, a former model and fashion technology entrepreneur. Drewes, speaking at a press conference, claimed that in 2018, she met Swalwell socially, was offered business connections, and then met him again at a hotel where he drugged her, choked her, and raped her “While he was choking me, I lost consciousness, and I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity” Lonna Drewes shares horrific allegations of assault and abuse by @RepSwalwell pic.twitter.com/eFwTIEYj1Y — Just the News (@JustTheNews) April 14, 2026 She said she was afraid to report it due to his political power. Her attorney, Lisa Bloom, said they would file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and submit evidence such as text messages, journal entries, and photographs. Four women have come forward to say he assaulted them, and one claimed rape. Lonna Dewes will be the fifth and the second to claim rape. I do feel sorry for his wife and children.

A Trump administration executive order requires banks to collect citizenship information from customers. It is in “process, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday, as experts warn it could leave millions of Americans without access to a bank account. Would that be the millions of illegal aliens? There won’t be a policy attached to it at this point. In an interview at the Semafor World Economy’s inaugural Treasury Secretary Dinner at the Library of Congress, Secretary Scott Bessent said he didn’t think the order would be “unreasonable.” “Why don’t we have information on who’s in our banking system? I have a place in the U.K.; they want to know who lives in every apartment—and how do we know that it’s not part of a foreign terrorist organization?” he said. White House spokesman Kush Desai has previously said: “Any reporting about potential policymaking that has not been officially announced by the White House is baseless speculation.” The left claims people don’t have IDs. President Donald Trump has pushed to cut back on the number of immigrants in the country illegally since his January 2025 inauguration. Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, has said he strongly supports the idea, and wrote to the Treasury Department, urging it to “undertake a comprehensive review of current rules that allow illegal aliens to obtain financial services and access to the U.S. banking system.” “Access to the American banking system is a privilege that should be reserved for those who respect our laws and sovereignty,” he said. “When individuals are allowed to open accounts without verifying legal status, we are permitting illegal aliens to establish financial roots and integrate economically, all while bypassing the legal channels that millions use properly.” Newsweek’s banking experts say it could affect Trump supporters. Apparently, they think Trump supporters and elderly people can’t find their birth certificates or passports. We might find illegal aliens debanked at some point. We’ll see. Your kid’s classroom is full of illegal alien children who don’t speak English – and you’re subsidizing them at your hospital and your Social Security office too. We are done tolerating this. pic.twitter.com/YnvmUHT6YD — Congressman Brandon Gill (@RepBrandonGill) April 14, 2026 The post President Trump Will Order Banks to Collect Citizenship Information appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Representatives Gonzales, Swalwell, and Cherfilus-McCormick are almost gone, and we’re happy about it. Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales (TX-23) announced he would resign effective Tuesday. The married Representative had an affair with an aide who later killed herself by setting herself on fire. He would have been expelled if he hadn’t resigned. Gonzales’s resignation letter: Enclosed is my resignation letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, effective April 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It has been my privilege to serve the residents of Texas’ 23rd congressional district. Sincerely, Tony Gonzales, Member of Congress. Rep. Tony Gonzales resigns amid scandal that saw a beautiful young woman commit suicide by setting herself on fire! https://t.co/DIC8M5cXWx — Sherri Unfiltered (@FFT1776) April 14, 2026 We already reported that Eric Swalwell resigned from the House. He used to get under my skin. Swalwell has a very long record of abusing women. A second woman is accusing Swalwell of rape. He’ll be lucky to stay out of prison. Hopefully, he will disappear, and we will never hear from him again. The House Ethics Committee has also been pushing the probe against Cherfilus-McCormick, announcing at the end of March that “the adjudicatory subcommittee found that Counts 1-15 and 17-26 of the SAV [Statement of Alleged Violations] had been proven” against the embattled congresswoman. Rep. Luna has been calling for her removal. On Tuesday, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) was asked about the possibility of expelling Cherfilus-McCormick. Cherifilus-McCormack is credibly accused of stealing $5 million, and there is substantial evidence. She hasn’t had her trial yet, but the ethics review was damning. “I have been a zealous guardian of due process around here,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “I do think, certainly, on Cherfilus-McCormick, the Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts; I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it’ll be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled. I mean, that certainly rises to the level that’s needed.” JUST IN — Speaker Johnson is ready to EXPEL Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress after ethics investigation!

Judge Boasberg had his investigation shut down. According to The Hill, two of the three justices on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that “further judicial investigation” by the Obama appointee “is unnecessary and therefore improper” in a case against President Trump brought by Judge Boasberg. They accused the Trump-hating judge of “judicial intrusion” into a coequal branch of government. Two Trump-appointed justices voted against Boasberg, leaving the Obama judge on the panel distressed. Boasberg planned to hold contempt hearings after the Trump administration failed to suspend flights carrying Venezuelan men to be imprisoned in El Salvador. The administration has already said it was former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who, last March, ordered flights to take 100 Venezuelan men to an El Salvador prison despite an order from Boasberg ordering the flights grounded or turned around. While two Trump appointees to the bench sided with the president and scolded Boasberg for not being sufficiently clear in his ruling, an Obama appointee said the ruling would have grave consequences should an administration flout a judge’s orders in the future. “The government has already provided the name of the responsible official, so further judicial investigation is unnecessary and therefore improper,” Judge Neomi Rao wrote in an opinion joined by Judge Justin Walker. “These proceedings improperly threaten an open-ended, freewheeling inquiry into Executive Branch decision-making on matters of national security that implicate ongoing military and diplomatic initiatives. This judicial intrusion into the autonomy of a co-equal department cannot be remedied by a later appeal from a contempt conviction.” Democrat district judges believe they are more important than the president.   The post Hostile Judge Boasberg’s Investigation Was Shut Down appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.
