It turns out that Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the purported "whistleblower" that launched this latest round of allegations against President Trump for his phone call to the Ukrainian president in July, sent out a Tweet in January of 2017 proclaiming "the coup has started" and "impeachment hearings next up."
The most reasonable interpretation of this statement leads to a conclusion that Zaid and others were part of an effort to oust President Trump from office before Trump even had an opportunity to commit a high crime or misdemeanor and that, consequently, the impeachment currently underway is not based on any evidence of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, Zaid strongly asserted that "the right of the governed to engage in a coup to depose a sitting president is a constitutionally protected right. I call your attention to the 9th and 10th Amendments where it states that rights not expressly mentioned in the Constitution are retained by the people. Those of us trying to save the country from the depredations of Donald Trump are people using this retained right."
"We are freedom fighters and must not be constrained by stodgy notions of due process," Zaid argued. "We can't have our hands tied by legalistic ideals while a tyrant's rampage goes unresisted. Trump's unfitness to rule was recognized by every true patriot long before he won the 2016 election. Heroes like Comey, Brennan, myself, and others deserve the support of the masses as we struggle against the usurper who was able to fool enough voters so he could steal the presidency from its rightful heir—Secretary Hillary Clinton."

Well, of course. Vodka sodden hillary! was supposed to win.
Excellent John.
Very well done.
So close to literal truth. Wonderful satire.
An overthrow of the government by its citizens of the United States is in the US Constitution.
However, what is not in the US Constitution is a concerted effort by a duly recognized Federal political party to overthrow a current sitting President because you dislike the outcome of an election. This is a political coup d’etat and is not in the US Constitution and not a right by any citizen of the US of A.
This lawyer needs to be disbarred, feathered and tarred. Not necessarily in that order.
Anothher excellent one, John!
This seems to describe their game plan all along.
“We know what’s right for you, you don’t!”
During the Russian Revolution, did Bernie Sanders help to hide Anastasia’s body?
When Jefferson unilaterally decided to make the Louisiana Purchase from the French, what advice did Joe Biden give him? Did he convince the French to take the money, was there any kickback to his family involved, or did he suggest that there was no way to stop Manifest Destiny and if the French didn’t sell they would lose in a war anyway? Was this an ‘irregular channel’ or did he suggest that Jefferson get approval from the State Department and Congress first?
When Elizabeth Warren bought and sold homes, did she apply for special “anti-red line” funding on the basis of her Native American heritage? When she collected $400,000 to teach a class at university did she think this was a good deal for students that outweighed the cost of borrowing money to take the class?
Sorry, my attempt at satire may not reach your level but at least I took a shot.
