Title: Lawyer for Ukraine whistleblower says he represents second whistleblower on Trump's actions
Post by: edpc on October 06, 2019, 02:33:25 pm
(CNN) — The lawyer for the first intelligence whistleblower who came forward with accusations concerning President Donald Trump and his interactions with Ukraine said Sunday he is representing a second whistleblower regarding the President's actions.

Attorney Mark Zaid confirmed to CNN that he and other lawyers on his team are now representing the second person, who has first-hand knowledge that supports claims made by the first whistleblower. Zaid told CNN that the second whistleblower works in the intelligence community and has spoken to the intelligence community's inspector general, but has not filed their own complaint and doesn't need to as anyone who speaks to inspector watchdog is considered to have made a protected disclosure and is a whistleblower under law.

It wouldn’t be terribly shocking if the whistleblower process eventually revealed another Page-Strzok type situation.

So now we have Cavanati II.  Every lawyer is a lying stinking POS.  I would sooner trust a cobra two feet away from me before I trust any lying stinking lawyer.

We all have first hand knowledge of the phone call...or did you forget that the transcript was released almost immediately and exonerated the President from the absurd allegations of a quid pro quo being part of the conversation? Why would anyone care if there is some other Quisling who heard the already public phone call between the President and the Ukrainian leader?

Having a second "whistleblower" emerge was all part of the original plan to build the impeachment drama. If a third "whistleblower" is part of the script, transcript or no, they'll trot them out as well.

The rats have no choice but to follow through on the farce as planned.

Unless we were actually on the call or part of the note taking, no, we don't.

It always works well for the fellow-travelers of both Parties who lap up the accusations and spew them as fact, because it fits their template that "Orange Man (must be) Bad."

@The Ghost

Funny how that works out,ain't it?

Gee,I wonder if there are any book deals in the works? That does seem to be the traditional way to funnel payments to people playing ball.

It's worth noting at this juncture the shenanigans employed by FineSwine were not original...this was the exact same playbook used against Roy Moore, the hallmark of which was the accusation drop happening within a few days of the ballots for the special elections printing.

I predicted at the time we'd be seeing this tactic being used again, and it has been at least a few times.

Several Congressional candidates, Moore, Kavanaugh and the hilarious dog-whistleblower memoirs of a disgruntled ex-employee.  This is why this latest mush be shot down as harshly as possible.  The perpetrators must be made to feel pain.  Some call for Shitt being kicked out of his Chair, but I disagree.  Let the sack of human waste twist in the whirlwind he's reaping as a result of his sowing the wind months ago.

I would bet this scum bag lawyer is shopping publishers as we type this.

What if there was a "whistleblower" on the "whistleblower" who says that the "whistleblower" is a liar, and a paid shill?
Whistleblow on the whistleblower!!

Jeez. What ridiculous times we live in.

That would be assumed to be Prima Facie evidence an Act of Trump, therefore Obstruction, and an impeachable offense.

They ain't seen anything like this before.  It's a new game. A new player.
