Limbaugh: Whistleblower Lawyer’s Past Statements Are ‘Smoking Guns’

On his radio show Thursday, “The Big Voice on the Right” Rush Limbaugh addressed the increasing controversy swirling around the whistleblower, whose alleged identity has been widely circulated, though the mainstream media is still choosing to protect it. One thing we know for sure about the whistleblower is who is representing him, Mark S. Zaid. And one thing we know for sure about Zaid is that back in 2017, he publicly declared his enthusiasm over the prospect of a “coup” leading to President Trump’s impeachment.

“And 45 years from now we might be recalling stories regarding the impeachment of [President Trump]. I’ll be old, but will be worth the wait,” Zaid wrote in a January 2017 tweet that has come back to haunt him in recent days. “Coup has started. First of many steps. #rebellion. #impeachment will follow ultimately,” he tweeted in response to news that Trump had fired Attorney General Sally Yates after she refused to carry out an executive order. “Coup has started. As one falls, two more will take their place. #rebellion #impeachment,” he wrote in another tweet. “I predict [CNN] will play a key role in [President Trump] not finishing out his full term as president,” he wrote in yet another impeachment-cheering post. “We will get rid of him, and this country’s strong enough to survive even him and his supporters,” Zaid exclaimed in July 2017.
