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.“

Courts will tie him up for a few years regardless.

Start an IG investigation on him. He will be finished before they are.

The "missing link" here is:
<><> (A) Zaid's connection to Obama and his cabal....
<><> (B) Americans demand emails, hard drives, snail mail, Zaid's vouchers, etc etc etc
<><> (B) when exactly did Obama gave the orders to Zaid to advance the coup-in-progress.

What is starting to emerge is evidence that the current impeachment process is part of a coup continuum;
everything WRT the onset of the whistleblower is part of a long-ago planned and pre-constructed operation
.

Two strong examples come from Mark Zaid, attorney for CIA “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella, and are very pertinent:
<><>Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq. "It's very scary. We will get rid of him (Trump);
this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters. We have to" 9:45 PM · Jul 1, 2017
<><> Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq. #coup has started. As one falls, two more will take their place.

NOTICE THE DATES: The current HPSCI legislative impeachment process, and every little aspect within it,
is the execution of a plan, just like the DOJ/FBI plan was before it....... in 2016, 2017 & 2018.

It’s way past time to level some “conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government” charges against a whole bunch of these co-conspirators.
Attorney General Barr, I believe you have the authority to do this, what’s your schedule look like this afternoon?

When we look back, Trump-haters like Zaid and the rest always seemed overconfident and sloppy...
always smirking about one crime or another, never ever fearing retribution.

Clearly, the dirty-doers like Zaid did not plan on any follow-up, nor did they expect Americans to challenge them.

Keep in mind, those were the heady days of “anything goes’...when Saint Obama was untouchable and Hillary was a “shoo-in.”

I can hear them all now: “Don’t worry, Hillary will sweep all of this under the Oval Office rug.”
This as they chose their bailiwicks and sinecures and signed up for 3-4 eternal Federal pensions.

Right, because everyone knows that a coup is a completely legal process....

“Find a crime” is not a legal process.

“Contrast this lawyer to Session’s needless recusal based on “advice” from the Democrats in the DOJ ethics office.”

Alex Marlowe was on Breitbart radio show this a.m. defending Jeff Session’s run for the Alabama Senate, saying that Trump was the meanie towards Sessions and that Sessions’ strong stand on immigration would be helpful in the Senate! What incredible naivety! Rosenstein said that Sessions would probably be willing to support removing Trump by the 25th amendment.

This guy Zaid is a real freakoweirdo. Who goes to Disney alone? What kind of voyeur with no kids goes to a kids’ water park? This guy needs to be investigated.

In related news, PA. Atty. Gen. Josh Shapiro has arrested A Brigadier General named Sullivan, who has tens of thousands of child porn videos on his numerous computers! These creeps are everywhere in our Government!

Contrast this lawyer to Session’s needless recusal based on “advice” from the Democrats in the DOJ ethics office.

Adding insult to injury, as we look forward, I sincerely hope PDJT won’t feel compelled to rally votes for Feckless Jeff in his bid to regain his old Senate seat.

The very thought of the two on the same stage, makes me sick to my stomach.

Praying Alabama nominates a worthy challenger to unseat Jones, rejecting the traitor who stabbed PDJT in the back!!!
