Mark Zaid, the national security lawyer who is currently representing the whistleblower behind a bombshell complaint about President Donald Trump’s call with Ukraine, said on Sunday morning that he is now representing a second whistleblower.
We have a first hand account. It’s in the transcript the white House released. We need to stop acting like credibility or sourcing is an issue on this point.
Trump and his allies have tried to undermine the first whistleblower’s credibility on the basis that he or she did only had “second-hand” knowledge. However, first-hand knowledge is not a requirement to file a whistleblower complaint.
Dems have got to stop playing this particular game – and make the point that there is no issue of whistleblower credibility. The whistleblower is entitled to remain anonymous – and the only thing that matters is that the IG found his/her information credible.
