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."

Outbursts happen when things start closing in.
Looks like Jim is getting under someone’s extremely thin skin.
Zaid? What ethnicity is this little twerp?
His god the Fraud taught him, “Get in their faces,” which means to this piece of obama, “Nyah, nyah, I know you are but what am I!”
It’s what I reduced never Trump Hussein Heads to here in 2016.
That’s rich. The chairman of the committee opened the hearings reciting false statements Trump never made. Impeachment should have ended then.
Why would he go to a lawyer before going to the IG?
He should stomp his foot; add in some swear words and YELL REALLY LOUD.
That’ll show Jim Jordan.
Remember: It’s the seriousness of the accusation that’s important. Forget the evidence against it.
He is using the old dodge:
Look over there, not here!
Outbursts happen when things start closing in.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that you hit.
It is also known as deflecting.
May I have that signed and notarized?
We all know what’s said about flak.
Bakaj is squirming.
That is plain truth all ready well documented.
Before this is over, WB2 (on the stand today) will be proven to be a liar, fraud, and a traitor.
His allegiance was, and is, to Ukraine, not his CIC.
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.
“Contacted” is not the same thing as “hired”.
Semantics maybe but when it comes down to legalities it is a big thing.
So the leaker’s Lawyer wants to claim Fact Check org, the NY Times etc are lying?
