'Coup has started,' whistleblower's attorney said in 2017 posts calling for impeachment
Fox News, Nov 6, 2019

Mark Zaid, one of the attorneys representing the whistleblower at the center of the Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiry, tweeted conspicuously in January 2017 that a "coup has started" and that "impeachment will follow ultimately."

Then, in July 2017, Zaid remarked, "I predict @CNN will play a key role in @realDonaldTrump not finishing out his full term as president." Also that month, Zaid tweeted, "We will get rid of him, and this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters."

Amid a slew of impeachment-related posts, Zaid  assured his Twitter followers that "as one falls, two more will take their place," apparently referring to Trump administration employees who defy the White House.

The tweets, which came shortly after President Trump fired then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates for failing to defend federal laws in court, are likely to fuel Republican concerns that the anonymous whistleblower's complaint is tainted with partisanship.

You really can't blame the Dims for having so much arrogance they put their political crime of a coup attempt out in the public eye. They have been doing this since the 1930's,and up to now no one has ever called them on it.

They have long relied on the "professional courtesy" of the RNC to avoid arrest and trials,but I don't think that is going to work out so well for them this time.  I am expecting multiple "suicides" from 2nd tier operatives that don't have common sense to go for plea bargains and witness protection NOW.

Whistleblower attorney defends 'coup' tweet, as Trump calls for impeachment probe shutdown
Fox News, Nov 7, 2019

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.“

“a completely lawful process.”

I am sure the Attorney knows how a completely lawful process works since he most likely has spent his entire life in the disregard of the process.
