An attorney representing a whistleblower in the intelligence community who filed an inspector general complaint at the center of the impeachment proceedings lashed out at Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Tuesday, accusing the congressman of lying and spreading conspiracy theories.
Andrew Bakaj tweeted Tuesday that Jordan had lied about who the unnamed whistleblower had contacted before filing a report with the intelligence community's inspector general.
"Congressman @Jim_Jordan - I AM TIRED OF YOU LYING IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE ROOM IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. My client hired ME - no one else in leading up to filing the disclosure with the ICIG," Bakaj tweeted, referring to the intelligence community inspector general.
"I have made that clear TIME AND TIME AGAIN - and you ignore the FACTS!" he added.
A second attorney representing the whistleblower, Mark Zaid, added: "Certain Members of Congress continue to lie abt my role in this case & deliberately distort facts to deflect from addressing #WBer complaint."
"They didn't treat me this way when I worked w/them re #Benghazi #WBers. #Shameful," he continued, adding "#FactsMatter."

That’s the quote tonight on all the fake news. Schiff would gavel any similar statement by Republicans. But the Republicans always play by white gloves rules anyway.
If nobody knows who the WB is, how do the congressmen know these WB lawyers are really the WB lawyers ? They could be anyone off the street trying to get lawyer creds saying they work for an unknown, undisclosed, super secret person.
“I AM TIRED OF YOU LYING IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE ROOM IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. My client hired ME - no one else in leading up to filing the disclosure with the ICIG,” Bakaj tweeted...
Notice how Bakaj’s statement that the “whistleblower” hired him in no way excludes his client interacting with Schiff, his staffers and other plotters. Does Jordan claim he HIRED them? I rather doubt it.
“Zaid? What ethnicity is this little twerp?”
Sounds Kryptonian
Apparently, that's what Eric Swalwell did on Hardball with Chrissie Matthews.
Loud and clear.
Now, that would be revealing! I don't think the whistleblower needs that kind of exposure.
Triggers happen when your own lies are exposed
Over target taking flak.
I have not known Jim Jordan to lie.
But the media will spin the mother ####er as a hero.
HOW UNPROFESSIONAL and obviously hitting a nerve.
Someone should knock him the #### out.
But that’s just my opinion :)
“There’s no fighting in the war room!”
Prick
“(Mister Obama), You lie!”
If my attorney is acting on my behalf how is that different than me acting on my behalf?
Just like they tried to make Bergdahl a hero.
I wish someone would have made a fart noise as soon as swalwell began his questioning-
The WB can do just like Pelosi suggested Trump do. Come testify to the Kangaroo Court.
YES
That POS ####.
Jim Jordan is clearly over the target. Flak eruption is a clear indicator. Keep it Up Rep. Jordan. Their howling should be very encouraging to you and all who want this sham to blow up in their faces.
So is it true Zaid started his own moneyraising site to pay himsellf to rep
“‘ Whistleblowers”?
What a piece of work
Lawyer word-parsing. Did anybody accuse Ciarmarella of HIRING somebody else? If he is referring to Schiff, has Jordan or anybody else said that Ciarmarella HIRED Schiff or just that he contacted and coordinated with him and his staff ahead of time?
...
You nailed it. Every word needs to be examined when weasels are involved.
