‘Whistleblower’ Attorney Warns Rand Paul: You and Trump Will Be Responsible for Any Harm If You Publicize Name
By: Kristinn Taylor, Gateway Pundit, November 5, 2019:ts
Mark Zaid, attorney for the so-called ‘whistleblower’ in the Ukraine impeachment inquiry, warned Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) against publicizing the name of the ‘whistleblower’, saying he and President Trump would be responsible for any harm that befalls his client.
Zaid then went on to mock Paul as acting like Eric Cartman in South Park before ending his criticism by saying Paul’s actions “undermine #whistleblower protection & may lead to physical harm/harassment of my client.”

Zaid was responding to Paul telling reporters he will likely name the ‘whistleblower’ as there is no legal prohibition from him doing so.
“If he does, he will be personally responsible for anything harmful that happens. And let’s be clear,
@RandPaul will be acting as surrogate for President Trump, making him just as responsible.”

Zaid keyed off a report by The Hill on Paul’s comments to reporters Tuesday:
…”I’m more than willing to, and I probably will at some point. … There is no law preventing anybody from saying the name,” Paul told reporters.
Paul doubled down on potentially publicly releasing the whistleblower’s name during an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier on Tuesday night, saying that he “may” disclose the name.
“There’s nothing that prevents me from saying it now,” Paul said.
Questioned on why he didn’t go to the Senate floor and disclose the name as part of a speech, he added, “I can, and I may, but I can do it right now if I want. Nothing stops me.”
Paul stressed during the Fox News interview that he was convinced he knew the individual’s identity but that he had so far refrained from saying the name because he wanted to keep the focus on the process.
“I want it to be more about the process and less about the person,” Paul argued. “Nothing stops me. There’s no law that stops me from doing it other than that I don’t want to make it about the one individual.”…
Paul roused attendees at Trump’s campaign rally in Lexington, Kentucky Monday night when he called for the media to name the ‘whistleblower’.
Zaid’s tweet storm accusing Rand Paul of acting like Eric Cartman:
1/News reports are #PresidentTrump refuses to bring in war room & handles #impeachment matters himself. But I have identified WHO has been giving him (& #RandPaul) their strategic advice to attack #whistleblower. Follow evidentiary logic through this thread & you'll clearly see.

3/#Trump's latest surrogate is Sen @RandPaul, who is threatening to reveal name of #whistleblower. Many GOP colleagues fortunately disagree with his view but will that stop him? What is Senator's latest strategy?https://t.co/n784ZRslMb

4/@RandPaul is making stuff up.
“[The whistleblower] might have travelled w/Joe Biden to Ukraine for all we know. We should look at his writings, we should know all of this stuff to see whether or not he has any intersection w/Burisma & w/Hunter Biden,”https://t.co/WSItvOZ9bv

5/Asked if he had evidence for any of these suppositions, Paul said, “we don’t know unless we ask.”
Strategy is to ask questions & suggest negative answers, knowing full well that is not actually fact.
Where does that strategy come from? I will now reveal!

6/Eric Cartman. The proof is right here:https://t.co/Gh0YEXcprw
Just watch.

7/"But hey, I'm just a normal kid, like you, except that I ask questions. And because I'm brave enough to ask questions, I come under scrutinies. Is Wendy using your lunch money to buy heroin? Probably not, but how can we know?…."

/END Just asking questions. Same strategy being pursued by #PresidentTrump & @RandPaul.
Yet these Qs undermine #whistleblower protection & may lead to physical harm/harassment of my client. This isn't a cartoon. This is real. #ProtectTheWhistleblower
