Whistleblower Lawyer In January 2017: ‘Coup Has Started,’ ‘Impeachment Will Follow’
Mark Zaid, the attorney for the Ukrainian whistleblower, stated just days after President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January 2017 that the “coup has started” and that “impeachment will follow.”
...In a statement provided to Fox News, Trump campaign communication director Tim Murtaugh said, “The whistleblower’s lawyer gave away the game. It was always the Democrats’ plan to stage a coup and impeach President Trump and all they ever needed was the right scheme. They whiffed on Mueller so now they’ve settled on the perfectly fine Ukraine phone call. This proves this was orchestrated from the beginning.”
I won't even bother to verify that Zaid made the statement two years ago. The reasoning here is distressing. Because an individual supposedly declared that a "coup" would be forthcoming, the impeachment inquiry now underway is therefore a coup. What? Using the slow machinery of the Constitution is some kind of coup d'etat. I wonder how many of the current coup-crazed were spouting that line in the 90s against the Clinton impeachment.
This Murtaugh flunky has hewed to the boss's gaslighting of the phone call as "perfect." Please note that most Republicans have been forced by a thing called reality to view what Trump did as "inappropriate" but "not impeachable."
On October 1, Trump tweeted: “As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP, intended to take away the Power of the People, their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military, Border Wall, and their God-given rights as a Citizen of The United States of America!”
Trump and the other protesters of impeachment as "illegitimate" don't have the guts to say the Constitution is wrong.
So, do you leftists support the coup? It's not an impeachment, it's a coup. Do you think that removing Trump through a coup is the "patriotic" thing to do? A "coup d'état" translates as "blow against the state," so do you think that striking a blow against your government is patriotic? Which government do you serve if you support a coup? All that the left offers as an alternative here is lawlessness. The leftist global government wants you to remove your duly elected president so that an anti-American can take his place.
You sneer against "leftists" opposing Trump, but wake up. The list of conservatives who think Trump is bad for the country--and just about the opposite of real conservatism--is a long one. I would like to hear your perspective on the other two impeachment inquiries in the past 50 years. Were they, too, coups d'etat?
Michael Savage laid out the current situation very well on his radio program yesterday, 11-7-19.
He talks about how Lincoln, the hero of the left, was a fascist. Lincoln rode roughshod over Americans' rights during the Civil War. He was a true fascist. That's why he's pictured in the Lincoln Memorial with his arms resting on the bundled sticks of the Roman fasci.
You really believe this tripe? Lincoln, the hero of the left: what fractured history has Savage been reading? So, are you and he Lost Causers still faithful to the myth that the Confederacy protected civil liberties while the Union trampled them? Both sides took extreme measures they considered necessary to prosecute the war.
Anyway, Savage is right that Trump has reason enough now to curtail the seditious behavior of the left.
Yeah, good idea. Why doesn't Trump crack the history text and revive John Adams' Alien and Sedition Acts?
