Ukraine whistleblower’s lawyers work for group that offers to pay officials who leak against Trump

[The Purge]

Sure sounds like a PAY FOR PLAY scheme to me!

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 (NSA).

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.

The plot thickens...its partisan politics in the extreme. A lot of heat but not much light. U.S. Attorney John Yoo on FXN, Ingraham Angle said that the whistle-blower law only applies to the intel community and not the president. Same with the IG. Trump can fire the IG, one of his appointments, for being stupid.

FXN needs to get their shit together and preach from the same hymnal. Shepard Smith was taking the dems' side?! Most others didn't know the law.

Deeper and deeper it gets. It's the same crap that was being shoveled during the "Russian collusion" hoax, just a different shovel being used today.

Anyone who can't see this has their head up their ass.

This may be the hole that breaks the dems ankles....they are stepping in it now big time....

When they start paying people to leak ON Trump, let me know.

"Whistleblower Aid was founded by veteran national security defense attorney Mark Zaid and John Tye, a whistleblower who worked to promote internet freedom at the State Department before warning of mass surveillance during the Obama administration.

"Andrew Bakaj, a former CIA officer who is associated with Zaid's firm, is also a lawyer for Whistleblower Aid.

"Zaid and Bakaj represent the official who claimed whistleblower status in raising the case of the Ukraine call."

Wouldn't you say whistleblowers deserve protection from ALL corrupt politicians regardless of political parties?
