RawStory: 'Take a vacation': Lawyer urges clients to flee before Trump inauguration

RawStory - 'Take a vacation': Lawyer urges clients to flee before Trump inauguration

A national security lawyer with a reputation for defending political whistleblowers has three words of advice for outspoken critics of President-elect Donald Trump.

"Take a vacation," Mark Zaid reportedly says to those who could face arrest.

Politico on Monday published a lengthy interview with the attorney about his new stock of clientele who remain afraid that Trump meant what he said on the campaign trail when he promised retribution.

Zaid now represents dozens of current and former government officials whom he warns to take seriously the threats Trump world has been playing down as campaign bombast.

"I’m taking him and his inner circle at their word," Zaid said. "They have promised retribution and retaliation."

displayed to be sure other noncriminals believed the threats.

The U.S. fought that level of crime off in the 1960s. The criminals got into power in 2024. What a drive over the cliff.

As usual. They wave their Bibles around pretending to be holy,
then they lie, cheat, fornicate, adulterate, and claim vengeance is theirs --
thereby once again crapping on Jesus and his Holy Word
