Whistleblower's Attorney Blasts '60 Minutes' For 'Literally Making Stuff Up'
Townhall ^ | 30 September 2019 | Leah Barkoukis

A lawyer for the Ukraine whistleblower blasted CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday for “literally making stuff up” in its reporting about a letter his legal group sent regarding their client’s safety.

In its reporting on the letter, “60 Minutes” claimed the whistleblower was under federal protection, even though that was clearly not stated in the letter.

In response, the whistleblower’s legal team published the letter and called out “60 Minutes" for their shoddy reporting.

“NEWS ALERT: 60 Minutes completely misinterpreted contents of our letter, which is now published online at https://compassrosepllc.com/intelligence-community-whistleblower-matter/ …,” attorney Mark S. Zaid tweeted. “Nor have we, as we stated earlier today, reached any agreement with Congress on contact with the whistleblower. Discussions remain ongoing.”

Rather than issuing a correction, “60 Minutes” doubled down and said it “stands by its sources and reporting on the whistleblower.”

Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called “Whistleblower,” represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress. His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason. In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the “Whistleblower.” Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!

You should read the lies they said when Mt. St Helen’s blew up destroying the apple harvest in WA., also almost destroying a local company over false reporting.

I think the whistleblower is lying....that he/she/it.....did some hacking and that there are NOT 10 or 12 persons involved.

NOTE: Someone provided the President with "Cliff Notes" BEFORE the phone call.

The President has an extraordinary memory....but Crowdstrike and the surrounding scenario is so vague.

Find out who WROTE the Cliff Notes for him. That's one....of probably 3 perps.

Hacker, attorney, delivery boy aka whistleblower.

I'm betting he won't testify because he knows the least of the suggested 3 perps...aka....spies.

And how in the hell is this complaint, based on hearsay, “urgent?” The “whistleblower” used a form for “urgent” matters. This “urgent” form was recently changed by the deep state to allow hearsay. Why couldn’t the WB use a normal complaint, or at least make a case that he/she didn’t invent the “sources?”

If the WB does testify, it will be behind closed doors, so that only the anti-Trump-sounding statements will be leaked.

How many lawyers does this snitch leaker have AND who is paying for them, Christine Blaisely Ford and all these fake attackers easily get FREE lawyers funded by the Democrats - now that’s a quid pro quo.

... called out “60 Minutes" for their shoddy reporting.

That's like criticizing cows for farting.

So it sounds like the gossiper wants federal protection and has not received it yet.

A lot of us Jews don’t support Democrat Party traitors and psychos like Schiff or Steven Cohen or Schumer, etc.

And we vote against them when we can.

The plan was to declare that the whistle blower won’t testify because he can’t be assured of his safety. That just got blown to bits.
