Did the person get help from their attorneys in writing the complaint?
(Schitt for Brain's staff did recommend the person get an attorney)
If so, did the person's attorneys receive assistance from congressional sources in writing the complaint with their client?
Doing that would make the statement true while not disclosing the actual truth.
SO many questions.
Maybe they referred him/her to Feinswine since she runs a legal referral agency from her office.
At the time the complaint was written, the information was classified. The whistleblower’s attorneys wouldn’t have had security clearance to handle the information. Another violation of law.
I was a whistle blower once in the VA. It was not political but just plain damn bad procedure and treatment done in ignorance. I did not give my information under the whistle blowers act. I went to the director of the hospital with my information.
This is where the oddity happened. There was an internal investigation of which I was proved correct. Although not using the whistle blower protection I was considered a whistle blower though I wanted no anonymity nor requested such. I knew I was correct and stood full well with my name.
Then everything went silent. The error was very quietly corrected. If I were wrong I would have been fired with malice.
I guess I won. I kept my job and patients were protected from errors of judgement of pharmacy formulary decisions.
The VA was actually in great jeopardy of lawsuits due the ignorance of a local VA Hospitals senior staff and their bad decisions.
After this I went to night shift until retirement. I liked night shift. It was all mine and all my responsibility. If things went wrong which was rare, it was my fault. If things went right it was mine. Total responsibility is a good way to work. Management was glad I was on night shift as we both did not need to see each other and express mutual contempt. They knew I was a good pharmacist and also had little respect for them. It actually worked well for years until I retired. Relative to the VA we get pounded daily in the media. Some of this is very justified but much is not. The Docs, Nurses, Phamacists, Staff etc. do outstanding work. The real problem is as government workers they have too much protection in relationship to firing.
About 25% of the VA staff should be fired tomorrow. The remaining 75% would know full well if they do not perform with good work, they are next.
