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."

Mr Zaid, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.............”
Zaid may get his chance to testify under oath. Hope so. LOL
Jim Jordan: BTW what is the whistleblower’s name?
In the USA we have the right to know our accusers.
Attorney for whistleblower: Shut up shut up! shut up!
You nailed it. This is pure Soviet era “court” and “justice”.
The Lt Col is in fact Ukranian mole planted by elements probably no longer in power and perhaps actually in Russia
FU, Andrew Bakaj and Mark Zaid!
You know you’re over the target when you start taking flak.
Of course this clown used to be CIA. good chance he still is.
With far-left lawyers, words matter. I suspect this is the literal truth in the same sense as Bill Clinton's truthfulness depends on what the meaning of "is" is. The traitor, Ciaramella, coordinated with a broad swath of plotters in the deep state, but he only hired the lawyer who had been designated to coordinate the legal maneuvers for their coup.
These evil globalists disgust me. I used to think the French Revolution went too far with the guillotine, but I'm beginning to think the proper exercise of public executions to eliminate traitors can be a full-time job.
He’ll no! They know without a doubt that if they put him on the stand it’s over and the real connections will be made!
These RatBa$tards are disgusting and embarrassing the whole country!
So, since the whistleblower Law was written, how many previous whistleblowers remained anonymous? Just curious.
the first journalist question used to be “who?” as in who was involved?
if the 5 questions could not be answered, there was no story.
nowadays journalists have abandoned their roots and their principles.
from classic journalistic principles, if we do not have the whistleblower’s name, there is no story.
an even more stringent standard should apply for all government proceedings.
the house hearing is a farce.
No one is accusing the so called whistleblower of hiring Schiff. Why is his lawyer saying this? It makes no sense.
But he is so bitter he couldn't find or expose all of the "evidence" he claimed he had on Trump's Russian collusion, that he has really jumped the shark this go around.
This impeachment circus is nothing more than a mini-version of Mueller Part Deux without the Special Counsel.
Yeah, that'll work.
First off, everybody but Schitt himself knows the identity of the anonymous WB. He knows but is playing a game like he can't and won't reveal it. He's making an ass of himself.
Yeah, that strategy is failing.
And two, every "witness" he has had so far, including the WB he won't reveal, don't have direct evidence of the phone call. They all have their opinions of what happened or they heard from someone who said they knew someone who claims they heard the call.
Yeah, that's convincing.
I even read that one of his "witnesses" admitted what he had "heard", he had actually read about it in the NYSlimes.
Yeah, that's evidence.
His witnesses are all anti-Trump democRATS who want to get rid of Trump as bad as Schitt-For-Brains does. These diplomats think they run foreign policy instead of the president. They're supposed to implement his policy, not tell Congress he's not doing what they want to do in the Ukraine.
In the end, this will probably result in some bogus impeachment articles. But that's not a certainty. The longer it goes on and the more flimsy it gets, some democRATS might bail in Schitt and Pelosi.
But I have no doubt this clown show will be stopped in the Senate. Trump is becoming more popular the longer this goes on. He will win reelection going away in 2020.
Vindman lies to Congress. When is he going to be prosecuted.
Vindman lies to Congress. When is he going to be prosecuted.
A long, long, long time after Hell freezes over. Or never, which ever comes first.
I believe that he is a Nitwittian.
Remember, these are democRATS. They don't make sense 99.9% of the time.
But they also don't do things without a reason. They can twist themselves into pretzels to come up with a reasons why they do what they do. Or come up with logical explanations for their seemingly stupid actions. They have an underlying motive which dictates what they are doing right now.
So they are up to something besides having one of the WB lawyer's lash out at Jordan for doing what, is not clear.
But this is not about the WB, the WB's lawyer or Jordan. It is a diversionary tactic to avert the public's eyes off what they want off the front pages right now.
Something else is going on and their blowing a lot of smoke right now to take the attention off of what ever they don't want a lot of coverage on. The fact that one of Vindman's lawyers was laying down the smoke screen makes no difference. All of these people are interconnected and are players in a play called the Coup to Remove Trump From the Presidency. All of the players are running off the same DemocRATS playbook. They're all in this sham, fabrication up to their eyeballs.
Maybe it's something like covering up the news that their big witness Vindman getting caught in a lie to the congress. Or Schitt-For-Brains inadvertently exposing that he knows more about who the WB is than what he has admitted before (WHO in the world believes Schitt doesn't know who the WB is? Nobody but Schiff apparently). Or it could be that Tim Morrison, Vindland's boss, blew Vindman's credibility out of the water today in his testimony.
Whatever the reason, it's not what we are seeing in front of us. None of what the democRATS are doing makes sense unless you can read between the lines.
First off, everybody but Schitt himself knows the identity of the anonymous WB. He knows but is playing a game like he can’t and won’t reveal it. He’s making an ass of himself......Schiff finally admitted to meeting with Ciaramella.................. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schiff-admits-he-should-have-been-much-more-clear-about-contact-with-whistleblower
I even read that one of his “witnesses” admitted what he had “heard”, he had actually read about it in the NYSlimes. ......... Amb Taylor, one of the first two witnesss who, as you say, testified about his emotions and not facts. And amazingly, even though the Left looks down their noses at the military, they love putting it on a pedestal when it serves their purpose, as they did with Taylor and Vindman.
Nunes should just get up and demand a vote. It would more or less go along party lines and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll impeach. Although, with these first 5 witnesses, I’m confident that even some Dem’s might not support that. If it makes it to the Senate, we’ll have to see if Graham is true to his word and make everyone testify. If so, that’ll be amazing.

The Democrats are trying to put the Senate up for grabs.
Every Republican senator will be subject to Democratic attacks if Trump is impeached in the House.
Hunter Biden should not be able to get away with profiting massively off his father’s massive political power.
If Ukraine needed to be pressured to stop the selling of US political power to a foreign entity probably run by well-connected person CCCP Communists probably trusted, it would only be a nod to probable necessity.
I’m sure many eyes rolled in Beijing when over $1 billion was entrusted to discharged naval person Hunter Biden’s care.
