Huge Victory for National Security Whistleblowers

(Washington, D.C.) – The Government Accountability Project (GAP) has learned that client Thomas Drake has agreed to a plea bargain arrangement on the charges brought against him by the federal government. While Drake was facing 10 felony counts and 35 years in jail, this settlement agreement stipulates no jail time or fines shall be imposed on him. In return, Drake will plead guilty to a mere misdemeanor. Drake appears publicly in court tomorrow to enter his plea.

The action taken against Drake by the Department of Justice was widely seen as a bellwether case for the current crop of the Obama administration’s prosecutions under the Espionage Act against national security and intelligence whistleblowers. Today’s news is an absolute victory for whistleblowers.

GAP Homeland Security and Human Rights Director Jesselyn Radack commented, “This is a victory for national security whistleblowers and against corruption inside our intelligence agencies. The prosecution’s case was built on sand and crumbled under the weight of the truth.

“Tom Drake went through all proper and legal channels. His experience proves that, presently, there is no safe way to draw attention to wrongdoing at intelligence agencies. The intelligence community cannot keep using a broken classification system to escape responsibility for its internal corruption and lawbreaking.”

GAP represents Drake on whistleblower issues. He has a separate criminal defense team.

Radack continued, “No public servant should face 35 years in prison for telling the truth. The prosecution’s case imploded in the face of numerous negative rulings and huge public support for Tom Drake. This is incontrovertible proof that the Espionage Act should not and cannot be used to silence whistleblowers.”

Regarding the Obama administration’s ongoing prosecution of national security whistleblowers, Radack stated “Whistleblowers are not spies. The Espionage Act is a particularly heinous tool that should never be used to cover up government wrongdoing and punish whistleblowers that expose it. This sends a message to the Justice Department to abandon its perverted strategy of prosecuting whistleblowers under the Espionage Act.”

Tom Drake Background

Drake is a former National Security Agency (NSA) employee who is being prosecuted under the Espionage Act for retaining, not leaking, classified information about a data collection program that was costly, threatening to Americans’ privacy rights, and wholly undeveloped, despite the availability of a cost-effective, functional alternative that respected Americans’ privacy. He did everything by the book, raising concerns through official channels first — including senior NSA management, the Defense Department’s inspector general, and Congress. His concerns were ignored. Drake started, legally, communicating with a reporter — never sharing any classified information whatsoever. A series of articles exposed this billion-dollar affront to privacy rights.

********************************
“Ex-N.S.A. Aide Gains Plea Deal in Leak Case; Setback to U.S.”) included this:

… The deal represented the almost complete collapse of the government’s effort to make an example of Mr. Drake, who was charged last year in a 10-count indictment that accused him of obstructing justice and lying to investigators. It is uncertain whether the outcome will influence the handling of three pending leak cases or others still under investigation.

The case against Mr. Drake is among five such prosecutions for disclosures to the news media brought since President Obama took office in 2009: one each against defendants from the National Security Agency, the C.I.A., the F.B.I., the military and the State Department. In the past, such prosecutions have been extremely rare — three or four in history, depending on how they are counted, and never more than one under any other president.

Officials say they have been prompted by a bipartisan belief in Congress and in both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations that leaks were getting out of hand.

U.S. National Security Agency

The flurry of criminal cases has led to both praise and criticism for Mr. Obama, who entered office promising unprecedented transparency but in less than three years in office has far outdone the security-minded Bush administration in pursuing leaks. …

Jesselyn A. Radack, a lawyer for the nonprofit Government Accountability Project who had rallied support for Mr. Drake, hailed the outcome.

“This is a victory for national security whistle-blowers and against corruption inside the intelligence agencies,” she said. “No public servant should face 35 years in prison for telling the truth.” …

Sounds like so much fun.

That’s a Denny’s breakfast, isn’t it?

I don't recall seeing plates that color at any Denny's I've been to.

Maybe different plates used in different parts of the country?

Oh my. I guess Hillary is happy.

I am so glad you responded Rusty. I got off and started searching and should have got back to say.....people work with what they have at home. If its a cell phone.tablet.old computer or such and we understand. That's why WE all work hard with what we have. I should have said I was responding to the complaint that our system here is hard to work with. One needs to understand NOT all things are easy and one must work to learn how to better work with what they have.

You have taken your tech skills to the limit. I never worry about posting international news because you seems to always have a handle on what's going on especially when I'm confused. Thanks again. I'm sorry I came off cold and not appreciative. Even more reason for us to meet somewhere for a couple of days Train talk.

“was charged last year in a 10-count indictment that accused him of obstructing justice and lying to investigators.”

Guilty of anything or not, these evil people always charge that. Hopefully justice will return.

An Old Hillbilly Farmer

1. An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him without mercy. From morning ‘til night, and sometimes later, she was always complaining about something.

—————.

2. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot. One day when he was out plowing his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump and began to eat his lunch.

————.

3. Immediately his wife began pestering him. Complain, nag, nag, it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head and killed her dead on the spot.

————.

4. At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement.

-————.

5. But when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.

—————.

6. This was so consistent the minister decided to ask the old farmer about it. After the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.

—————.

7. The old farmer said, “Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked or how pretty her dress was, so I’d nod my head in agreement.”

“And what about the men?” the minister asked.

“They wanted to know if the mule was for sale.”

///The end.
