Whistleblower lawyer send cease and desist to White House over Trump's attacks
The Hill ^ | 11 07 2019 | Marty Johnson

Andrew Bakaj, one of the attorneys for the whistleblower – whose report led to House Democrats' impeachment proceedings – sent a cease and desist letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone, telling President Trump to stop attacking his client, CNN reports.

"I am writing to respectfully request that you counsel your client on the legal and ethical peril in which he is placing himself should anyone be physically harmed as a result of his, or his surrogates', behavior," Bakaj wrote, adding that the president is "engaging in rhetoric and activity that places my client, the Intelligence Community Whistleblower, and their family in physical danger."

Since the public release of the whistleblower report, Trump has continuously attacked the whistleblower in an attempt to discredit what was said in the report.

No worries, the lawyer is on the list, too.

I believe the proper response to this should be, “BIOYA”.

It is important to note that the reluctance of the media to declare the name of the "whistleblower" is rooted in nothing more than Leftist advocacy and nothing more, except cowardice.

There is no reason whatsoever to keep the identity of the "whistleblower" hidden, except to cover up Leftist perfidy and sedition. President Trump does NOT fall under the whistleblower statutes, and neither does the whistleblower.

As proof, if his lawyers could have sued to prevent anyone from declaring his identity including people like Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino, or Mark Levin, they would have done it, but...they don't. Because they can't.

The ideology and intentions of the "whistleblower" are not only fair game, but in this environment where the lawyer himself states the "coup has started", they are paramount.

One more thing-his idiot lawyer defends his statement:
"...Those tweets were reflective and repeated the sentiments of millions of people,” Zaid said. “I was referring to a completely lawful process of what President Trump would likely face as a result of stepping over the line, and that particularly whatever would happen would come about as a result of lawyers. The coup comment referred to those working inside the Administration who were already, just a week into office, standing up to him to enforce recognized rules of law...“

I know that the person graduating LAST in his or her class in law school is called "Attorney", but this guy must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel.

A "coup" is not a legal process. It is strictly illegal and he should be prosecuted for sedition, as many on the Left should be.

I like that plan but it has to include CNN/MSNBC.

The Whistleblower does not meet the legal definition of a whistleblower. So, if he is not a whistleblower, he should not have the legal protection of a whistleblower.

If he doesn't qualify as a whistleblower, he and his informants need to be arrested for spying/treason.
