Speaking of "Whistle Blowers"

[ThomWV]

Twice yesterday I heard people being interviewed on C-Span say they expected a rash of 'whistle blowers' to come forward from Government immediately after the inauguration. One lady, who's name I do not recall but who is associated with FireDogLake (possibly its founder?) suggested they will be so revealing and the matters so important that they will demand investigation. Another mention of them said about the same thing. I call and write my Representatives, both when they do as I please and when they do not. I have not yet begun my demand that they support at least investigations and then decide what comes next but I suppose that's on the agenda for next wednesday.

1. Jane Hamsher, FDL owner(?), was on CSPAN, and Seymour Hersh

promised whistleblowers would soon be coming out of the woodwork after the inauguration. Fingers crossed!

3. You want to watch something spectacular?

Watch to see the products of Jack Abramoff's singing his head off.

Prosecutors have held back on bringing any indictments out of fear that Fuckface would issue blanket pardons on his way out. So they're sitting on everything, and once Obama is sworn in, watch to see the flurry of indictments.

And they're all Republicans..............

8. I'll bet there will be at least 1 Dem for every 50 Republicans.

That seems to be roughly the ratio lately.

4. I've read this a few months ago from another source.

I can't remember which one. I think it may have been Seymour Hersch. He said there was essentially a line of people ready to talk to him on 1/21/09 with some explosive stuff.

6. She has always been ready to speak.

And of course there is the NSWC.

7. Seymour Hersh said that too, months ago. n/t

9. Whistle blower protection

Until laws are put in place that protect people from retaliation, many will stay in the woodwork rather than risk their careers and means to make a living.

Leaving government service won't protect you from retaliation. The boys will hound you forever as I found out.
