Based on this statement, is it possible she disapproved of the Obama policy targeting conservation groups, and now wants to spill the beans on all of them once she gets immunity? If not, I can see no reason she would have planted the question.
After all, she knows how whistle blowers get treated if they complain internally.
She’s not the whistle blower; she’s outing this info to get ahead of whoever the whistle blower is. They never admit to this sort of stuff unless forced to.
