National Security Attorney Mark Zaid Says He Advised Some of His Clients in DC to Flee the Country Before Inauguration

EXCERPT:

ZAID: “Well, look, Donald Trump and those in his inner circle have been very clear, over the period of time and especially during the campaign, that they do intend to retaliate. And they do intend to retaliate swiftly. They’ve made those promises. He said that he intends to have his second administration one that fulfills promises. So, it would be naive and foolish for us not to take any of this seriously. And we’re preparing. Now, I’ve represented a lot of clients who have been specific targets of President Trump and those around him. We’re not just talking about my federal employee workers in different agencies who are uncomfortable like you’ve just heard in this last segment, we’re talking about people who have been specifically called out by the former president of the United States. And I’m — we’re not rushing to it. I’m not saying sell your home, move overseas, never come back, become an expat. I’m telling certain clients, a small number, that, you know what, take a vacation for inauguration and let’s see what happens in the days or week or two afterwards.”
