The attorney representing the whistle-blower [snitch] claims that 60 Minutes lied about his client.The news program falsley claimed the WB was under federal protection and this person has agreed to testify before Congress.A lawyer representing the unidentified whistleblower in Congress' impeachment investigation blasted "60 Minutes" on Sunday, saying the program "misinterpreted" a letter from his legal team in reporting that it indicated his client is under federal protection. Mark Zaid, the attorney, tweeted that the famed news program "completely misinterpreted contents of our letter," which he linked to from his Twitter post. NEWS ALERT: 60 Minutes completely misinterpreted contents of our letter, which is now published online at https://compassrosepllc.com/intelligence-community-whistleblower-matter/ …. Nor have we, as we stated earlier today, reached any agreement with Congress on contact with the whistleblower. Discussions remain ongoing. https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1178457868095410177 …
The CBS program tweeted a brief defense of its report, saying: "60 Minutes stands by its sources and reporting on the whistleblower." This prompted a more scathing response from Zaid. "Is @60Minutes now asserting it has a source other than letter our legal team sent to @ODNIgov? Because if it doesn't, and I know it doesn't, then it is literally making stuff up. That helps no one, especially the #whistleblower. The media should always accurately report facts," he tweeted.
The whistleblower allegations represent a major threat to the Trump presidency. The allegation is that the president pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens, with some Democrats also arguing that he held up military aid as part of that effort. The whistleblower also claims that the administration went to great lengths to "bury" the controversial phone call on July 25 between Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump denies any wrongdoing and said he was just making sure that the country, known to be besieged by corruption, was getting off on the right foot with its new president. "60 Minutes" reported Sunday that it received a letter that indicated that the government whistleblower has been put under federal protection due to safety concerns. The report showed a PDF file of the Sept. 28 letter from the Compass Rose Legal Group, to the officer of acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. WHO IS JOSEPH MAGUIRE? The letter said, in part, "The purpose of this letter is to formally notify you of serious concerns we have regarding our client’s personal safety. We appreciate your office’s support thus far to activate appropriate resources to ensure their safety." The letter did not specify the "support" or "resources" that were offered. The letter stressed the urgency in protecting the whistleblower's identity and claimed that there's a $50,000 bounty for information about the client. The letter was signed by Andrew P. Bakaj, the lead attorney in the case. "60 Minutes" did not immediately respond to an early morning email from Fox News. One social media user highlighted the sentence in his legal group’s letter that expressed gratitude to Maguire’s office for activating the “appropriate resources to ensure” the whistleblower’s safety and asked what was misinterpreted. An email to Zaid was not immediately returned. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/whistleblower-attorney-says-60-minutes-misinterpreted-key-letter

The fake "whistleblower" probably has more to fear from his dummycrap handlers than he does from Trump or any of the people on the right. Does "Arkancide" ring any bells? The guy, if he exists at all, better watch his back, because the whole scheme seems to be falling apart at the seams.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

Yes. "60 Minutes Lied" is a complete redundancy.

I use to watch a long time ago when it still had a discussion thread -- "Point" vs "Counter Point" that I like. When it left the program, eventually I did too.
All of this seems like "Kavanaugh" stuff all over again...

So utterly retarded. Yep. But the facts quit mattering long before I was born, and it wasn't until relatively recently that I discovered this reality.

I “heard” (wink, wink) that the guy at work that I don’t like “deals drugs”. He’s got a nice car, and a friend of a friend told me this. I’m gonna report him to the cops so they can get a warrant and search his house and all his financial records....
See how this works??? First, someone “heard” about Russian collusion. Now, someone “heard” about attempted Ukrainian collusion.
Hey, why spend DNC money on “oppo research “, when you can pull this kind of garbage, and get American taxpayers to foot the bill for it, and the media will publicize it for free????

Same thing will happen to this one all these hapless individuals that hedge or embellish or outright fabricate information on what might have happened.
When the Dems have exhausted their usefulness the door on the Black Suburban will open up and they will be tossed into the curb to fend for themselves credibility vanquished with a sore azz. To live the rest of their lives in shame and ridicule.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Rte: I quit watching sixty minutes and/or paying any attention to ANYTHING the lying liberals at sixty minutes says or does, decades ago!
I recommend that anyone who believes anything they see or hear on a sixty minutes broadcast get their head examined (for insanity).
They have had an "agenda" driven programming for so long I am surprised they are still on air?

60 Libels, er, 60 Minutes lied? I am shocked.  Next thing you know they'll tie a model rocket engine to his ass to make him explode.
