I think It is very important to now advocate for current federal law enforcement & national security whistleblowers. These whistleblowers would like to come back and serve and/or be made somewhat whole again, some of them have been terminated, and some are still serving and subject to constant subtle reprisal.
Given recent "Pay to Play" political corruption indictments in Illinois, the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme scandal in which whistleblower complaints went ignored by the Securities & Exchange Commission, the billions of dollars of rescue funds being dispersed with uncertain accountability, and the ever growing threat of terrorism -- the new incoming administration can send a loud message early that it will not tolerate whistleblower retaliation, not against future whistleblowers nor against current whistleblowers. If the new administration expects would-be whistleblowers to disclose violations of law, corruption, and dangers to public safety and national security, it should give IMMEDIATE relief to the current whistleblowers.
