I'll take bets on how long before they are called "whisleblowers".

The wagons are circling as we speak. I'm sure all the MSM cell phones are ringing off the hook.

4. Actually the law that can force reporters to testify to grand juries in federal investigations, and the case law that follows, allows the journalist in question to have a judge review the case: if the journalist is protecting a "whistle-blower," the judge is not required to force them to testify. The obvious point is that "whistle-blowers" are those who expose illegal activities, as opposed to in the Plame case, where the government employees were engaged in illegal activities.

I have heard them referred to as whistleblowers many times already! The dims are praising them for their bravery in revealing the corruption and criminal activity of our POTUS and his administration. The journalists are their heros! It's really bad, I wonder if MSM will take this same position?

Wasn't Plame about nepotism in the CIA?
