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.“

Holy $hit!

I'm kind of naive about things, but a single guy hanging out at a kid's waterpark, and RIDING the rides strikes me as a total perv.

Jeez, could you get more obvious?

He's about as "subtle" as the guy in a black trenchcoat watching the kids at a playground.

You are completely clueless about Sessions. In every, single way.

And while he could have written those tweets all day long, without the possibly of their being dangerous...he has gone many steps further:

BY ACTING OUT THOSE TWEETS,
BY PHYSICALLY PARTICIPATING IN A “COUP” AND CONSPIRACY.

These jerks...all of them...think we are as stupid as the employees at CNN.

He was talking about a “legal” way to produce a result????
AT CNN, A COUP IS A LEGAL WAY....GET A GRIP, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE.

UNBELIEVABLE.

So great to hear PDJT give a shout out to Tommy Tuberville during his departure press gaggle this morning.

Hopefully, Tuberville will prevail in the primary and unseat Doug Jones.
