What about these ‘whistleblower’ laws? Weren’t they supposed to provide protection and cover to people like this?

No consequences to any of the VA folks who lied and got bonuses for doing so either.

Message has been sent: Rock the boat and you pay dearly. Or just shut up and keep your job.

No consequences to the IRS people who targeted conservatives either.

Oh, those ela W’s don’t apply when it’s the government. And especially when you blow the whistle on bad stuff the government is doing. Those laws are only applied to evil corporations.

What an opportunity for Trump to step in and help her. A publicity coup, helping a woman, and nailing Obama.

You betcha. It's just this sort of thing that really angers the average American. If Trump doesn't run with this story, then shame on him and shame on his staff.

This should be an instructive and close example of some inevitabilities involved in single payer socialized medicine. It works rather the same wherever it is tried by a benevolent government, a little worse were the government is less benevolent.

It does appear the woman has won her battle
but the ordeal placed upon her to attain vindication has been unconscionable.

One has to assume that for certain VA officials, it WILL be hell.
