Whistleblower attorney defends 'coup' tweet, as Trump calls for impeachment probe shutdown
Fox News ^

Posted on 11/07/2019 9:28:26 AM PST by TigerClaws

Mark Zaid, the attorney for the Ukraine call whistleblower, on Thursday defended a series of tweets from 2017 in which he predicted a "coup" against President Trump and promised to “get rid of him” -- saying in a statement the tweets referred to “a completely lawful process.”

Shortly after the publication of a Fox News article Wednesday highlighting the stream of anti-Trump tweets, Trump himself lambasted Zaid during a rally in Louisiana, calling the attorney “disgraceful.”

After tweeting lightheartedly about the controversy Wednesday night, Zaid sent Fox News a formal statement Thursday in which he said the social media posts were written with the belief that Trump would likely be “stepping over the line” at some point during his presidency.

“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.“

Rush talking about it now.

Zaid has an interesting Disney hobby that's coming to light. Google it.

I am sure he does. He wants to get rid of President Trump by any means. Due process and the law be damned.

This traitorous thug claims that he meant “coup” as a positive. I hope he ends up convicted of treason, sedition, or conspiracy and facing the stiffest penalty that those crimes merit.

The Oxford dictionary defines coup as:

A sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.

Zaid is a moron. His Twitter post exposes him as a fact witness in any proceedings related to the "impeachment investigation."

He can be compelled to show up at a proceeding where he'd have to give sworn testimony about the matter. He can refuse to testify on the basis of lawyer-client privilege, but he'd have to identify his client(s) in order to do this.

I'm thinking we're never going to hear his name again after next weekend.

Zaid is a poster boy for the bureaucratic nerds who inhabit the Beltway.

At this point, the coup plotters appear to number in the many thousands...there is almost no way to get to everyone involved in it short of an investigation that lasts decades. America doesn’t have decades to sort this out. That’s why wars are sometimes the best means to handle this kind of thing.

Its probably just the tip of the iceberg. Pedo Alert!

I’m really sorry but it’s time we take out some of these traitorous schmucks that harass the POTUS. By taking out I mean taking out. Time for some hardball fellow patriots.

Sure, he was just kidding. Sort of like when Schiff got busted for reading a fake transcript and then called it a parody. Parody would be more off the cuff. He read a written document and presented it as the actual words of the President. These people must be held accountable.

I wonder if he also has any connections to Jeffrey "the pedo" Epstein?

I think I’ll pass on finding out about Zaid’s “interesting hobby.”

However, these Zaid tweets should shut down this whole impeachment sham immediately. And he should end up in prison, at the very least.

This is sedition.

“We will get rid of him,”

So when will he be asked who “WE” means? How about some names defining just who are WE. Could it be, Schiff, Comey, Brennan, the WHISTLEBLOWER?
