WB lawyer (Andrew Bakaj):

Congressman @Jim_Jordan - I AM TIRED OF YOU LYING IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE ROOM IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. My client hired ME - no one else in leading up to filing the disclosure with the ICIG. I have made that clear TIME AND TIME AGAIN - and you ignore the FACTS!

(Mark Zaid):
Certain Members of Congress continue to lie abt my role in this case & deliberately distort facts to deflect from addressing #WBer complaint.

They didn't treat me this way when I worked w/them re #Benghazi #WBers. #Shameful

#FactsMatter

(Bakaj):
And one more thing, @Jim_Jordan - NO ONE even within my firm - except for ME - knew the identity of my client until weeks, weeks later. Only I was involved - and there was NO "coordination" with anyone in Congress on anything involving the complaint.

(Zaid):
I wasn't part of case until five weeks AFTER #whistleblower complaint was filed. And I was brought into case by @AndrewBakaj, not by #WBer. I actually didn't even know identity of client until days later.

(Bakaj):
I augmented my team with @MarkSZaidEsq WEEKS later. Why? Because I know him, I trust him, and he's an outstanding lawyer. Any insinuation otherwise is in an effort to deflect from the facts because facts can be tricky things.




Zaid wasn't even the original attorney. He was brought on 5 weeks later. Yeah, he made a joke on Twitter 3 years ago about "the coup" starting. He jokes on Twitter a lot. Bfd
