On Episode 19 of War Room: Impeachment, Stephen K. Bannon, Raheem Kassam, and Jason Miller, along with guest David Urban, discussed the whistleblower and his attorney, Mark Zaid.
Miller began: âI want to make sure we give due justice to the developments yesterday with the pearl clutching and hand wringing over [Donald Trump Jr.] saying the whistleblowerâs name, and also some of the interesting things that we found out about his attorney Mark Zaid.â
âWeâre going to make Mark Zaid famous,â Bannon said.
âLetâs keep it family friendly, itâs a little creepy,â Miller noted.
âWell thatâs how he likes it, apparentlyâ Kassam added, âbut without the family.â
âWe have to go into this, and itâs not pleasant. Over the course of the past twenty-four hours it appears as if Mark Zaid, the whistleblowerâs lawyer, some very strange things have come out about his YouTube channel, and what heâs looking at, and what heâs been tweeting over the past couple years.â
âWeâll start with the YouTube. His liked videos â this is his official channel where he uploads all of his clips from television or wherever â but his liked videos include these three: âTop 10 Prettiest Disney Channel Stars,â âTop 10 Disney Girls,â and âSelena Gomez from Child to Woman.â That would be weird enough in and of itself-â
âLetâs stick to the facts,â Bannon said. âNo commentaryâŠYouâre saying on YouTube â heâs a grown a man, right? And heâs got what now on his YouTube?â
âHe has liked three videos: âTop 10 Prettiest Disney Channel Stars,â âTop 10 Disney Girls,â and âSelena Gomez from Child to Woman,'â Kassam reiterated.
âI guess that speaks for itself,â Bannon added.

Kassam continued: âHe then has tweeted a lot about Disney in the last couple of years. He has tweeted about how much he loves Disney, about how much he goes to Disney by himself and poses with all princesses and Donald Ducks and all that kind of stuff. And if you go through his twitter there are an extraordinary number of Disney references⊠Pretty strange.â
Moving onto the Donald Trump Jr. story, Miller explained: âYesterday [Donald Trump] Jr. tweeted out the whistleblowerâs name. Which, by the way, the whistleblowerâs name has been out there everywhere. On countless websites, Rush Limbaugh has said the whistleblowerâs name over and over. And it literally drove TV coverage all of yesterday afternoon. âDon Jr., how could you mention the whistleblowerâs name.â I had reporters calling me saying âisnât the whistleblower now in danger or fear?â Itâs just a complete red herring to go and distract things away from whatâs going on.â
Miller points out what Constitutional law scholar David Rivkin said on War Room: Impeachment Episode 17: âWhat [Rivkin] says is the whistleblower protection does not grant you anonymity. What is does isâŠif you report something on say fraud or waste, that you canât then get fired because of it, because of bringing that forward. It doesnât say anything about being able to stay anonymous, especially when youâre trying to take down a sitting president.â
