you might think that there are laws in this land that will protect those who are legally entitled to said protections. you'd be wrong and the following article will show you a small portion of why that's so;
The idea of “whistleblowing” has been in the news a great deal.
Is the anonymous author of a recent New York Times op-ed eviscerating the president a whistleblower?
Is the victim of an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh a whistleblower?
I’m fortunate to have access to the media to talk about torture after blowing the whistle on the CIA’s program. I think Ed Snowden, Tom Drake and others would say the same thing about the aftermath of their own whistleblowing.
Cost of Doing the Right Thing
The problem is that we are the exception to the rule. Most
whistleblowers either suffer in anonymity or are personally,
professionally, socially and financially ruined for speaking truth to
power. Darin Jones is one of those people. He’s one of the people
silenced in Barack Obama’s war on whistleblowers. And he continues to
suffer under Donald Trump.
Jones was an FBI supervisory contract specialist who in 2012 reported evidence of serious procurement improprieties to his superior. Jones maintained that Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) had been awarded a $40 million contract improperly because
a former FBI official with responsibility for granting the contract
then was hired as a consultant at CSC. Jones said, rightly, that this
was a violation of the Procurement Integrity Act. He made seven other disclosures alleging financial improprieties in the FBI, and he was promptly fired for his troubles.
