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."

The IG can’t reveal his name. But there’s nothing in the statute that grants anonymity forever. The law protects you from retribution and retaliation from your superiors. And I don’t think the IG can add “anonymity” to the law, as the law is passed by Congress. Ciaramella may get through the House proceedings without having to talk, but, if Graham is true to his word that won’t play in the Senate. At this point, no one can corroborate anything, especially these first 5 morons. Only one of whom says she was in the room but has since changed her story as to what she heard.
Just take the vote, along party lines, impeach him and let it go to the Senate where it’s a different set of rules and he can defend himself.

I think a post of several days ago indicated he was of the Arab persuasion...so it might be pronounced "Zayeed" His social media page shows him at Disneyland with different characters and photos of young girls.
+100. We have the documented hard evidence on these bastards to punish them for sedition and treason. The hysterical outcry is evidence of their guilt.
I recall that some Freepers (if you want to call them that) were against the decision to put Jordan on this impeachment committee. Wonder what that meant?
Oh, that only applies to Republicans whose rights to due process are being violated. My bad. Nevermind.
Andrew Bakaj can tweet anything he wants since he is not under oath.
“Is”
Watchu mean???
“That is plain truth all ready well documented.”
I have trouble keeping up. What did Jordan say that the lawyer says is a lie?
What’s the evidence that Jordan was telling the truth.
I have a feeling that a fog envelopes this issue.
We know the Benghazi inquiry was a fraud because no one ever asked Obama the right question about cross border authority, too, don't we, Mark Zaid? And I called you out as trouble when you were involved in the Haditha case too, much to the chagrin of some on this board.
Kick the dang anthill... Makes it easier to see them and stomp them to death...
Bomber over target..
You don’t suppose that Rep. Jordan and the Republicans are over the target, do you?
Oh, a tweet. Yawn.
So the leaker’s Lawyer wants to claim Fact Check org, the NY Times etc are lying?

Jordan asked the guy why he ignored the advice the guy had sought from a lawyer when he opted not to go to his boss Morrison about his complaint - the lawyer told him not to talk to anyone else.
