Oh.
This guy works for a firm that pays “whistleblowers” to lodge complaints against Trump.
The anonymous U.S. intelligence official accusing President Trump of improperly pressuring Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is represented by two lawyers who run a group that offers financial help to fired whistleblowers.
Whistleblower Aid was launched in September 2017 – eight months after Trump’s inauguration – with an advertising blitz that involved mobile billboards being driven close to the White House, Congress, outside the Pentagon, and around the headquarters of the CIA and National Security Agency.
The group’s pledge of support, in addition to free legal representation including rent and mortgage assistance, media coaching, and doctor’s bills and counseling, is controversial among lawyers. Critics say it violates attorney ethics.
Coincidentally, one of the lawyers here is Mark Zaid, who has some kind of an arrangement with the attorneys defending leftwing thug Mark Waid against a lawsuit designed to get a company to terminate its contract with Ya Boi Zack.
Oh well I’m sure the whistleblower herself will not turn out to have been an Obama political appointee who “embedded” herself in the allegedly non-political civil service ranks.
Meanwhile, before finding out that this was yet another information operation conducted by a Hillary Clinton loyalist, the polling on impeachment already looked ghastly for Democrats and NeverTrump Fussyboys (but I repeat myself).
And liberals say, “violates WHAT?”
Pelosi is so damned scared of Occasional-Kotex. Pelosi, though she believe talking impeachment stirs up her anti-Constitutional base, knows pursuing impeachment with NO grounds whatsoever will be disastrous. But she can’t shut the moron contingent up. So, she’s playing the stalling game, “investigating” if they can ever find anything to substitute for the pitiful array of idiots they have to choose their candidate from, knowing there is NOTHING they can impeach for. They’ve investigated and spied and can find NOTHING. Because there is NOTHING.
NOTHING.
And we’re about to see yet another false accusation collapse. There HAS to be penalties to pay for making these false accusations, causing chaos in the country, distrust among our allies and stressing the economy. Until there is a steep price to pay, there is no downside to their lying.
Paying for hearsay to put before ravenous anti-American Democrats.
They love this as of yet unidentified Dem operative but Assange is now under 100lbs. while in the tender care of the UK.
Trump admitted he asked a foreign country to investigate a political rival. Impeachable offense. Period.
@Wayne Nelson: Based on that candidate’s own admission, Trump had every reason and right to ask for the investigation that Biden extorted another nation to end to be finished. Not impeachable by any stretch of the imagination. Even a liberal stretch of a liberal imagination.
Now not only is phone transcript being released, but PT is releasing the complaint and the IG report on the “whistleblower” who didn’t witness anything firsthand but rather passed on hearsay when he falsely claimed this was “a matter of urgent concern”. The “whistleblower” has secured the services of a law firm to protect him from retaliation. Oh yeah, the IG allegedly found that the “whistleblower” was politically biased against PT. Imagine that.
This is following the same pattern as “Russiagate”. Accuse PT of doing what the demokrats are guilty of and then try to nail him on “obstruction”.
@another vet:
Doesn’t matter what a whistleblower said. Trump clearly admitted to asking a foreign country to investigate a political rival. This is an impeachable offense under any circumstances.
So the House will vote to impeach. It will be held up in the Senate. And that’s that.
@Wayne Nelson: Dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
The brave dare not go
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
Blah blah blah.
Let’s rearrange this.
The THREE SENATORS, Leahy, Menendez and Durbin, threatened Ukraine with the loss of US assistance if it did not open four probes that might help the Mueller probe get Trump!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/24/democrats-wrote-to-ukraine-in-may-demanding-it-investigate-trump/
CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/04/politics/robert-mueller-ukraine/index.html
The Democrats’ letter is available online here at Sen.gov:

Now, is sauce for the goose also sauce for the gander?
Or shall we just call the whole thing off?
@Wayne Nelson: Go shopping today. Buy a clue.
@Wayne Nelson:
This happens to be a political rival that ADMITTED on video that he had the prosecutor looking into his son’s activities fired. In case you are confused into thinking Hillary had some sort of legitimate legal shield, just because one is a political candidate does not protect them from investigations of credible suspicions, which Biden himself provided. Now, if Trump wanted to utilize all the powers Obama set precedent in using, he could have the FBI conduct surveillance on Biden’s CAMPAIGN, infiltrate the campaign with spies and have operatives trail his officials around and set them up for FUTURE investigations. But Trump is not the anti-Constitutional anti-American scumbag that Obama was, so he is not going to do that.
No, they won’t. First, they need an impeachable offense. After 4 years of surveillance, spying and investigation, they haven’t found one yet. This latest “bombshell” will go the way of all the other “bombshells”… duds, buried in the sand.
@Nan G: Cmon. How long have you been witnessing this? It’s not ILLEGAL when Democrats do it! It’s not wrong when they are trying to prop up false allegations and support a coup! It’s only wrong when it is a legitimate effort to investigate evidence of a REAL crime committed by a Democrat.
@Mully: RW was also all giddy about Comey, the porn lawyer, Mueller, Hillary, Stormy, and the NFL. They were all supposed to take down PT too.
86 things Demcorats have said they could impeach Trump for… but haven’t
