I thought the whistleblower to the NYT was a former NSA employee? So he didn't complain about the program to his employees but just ran right to the newspaper?
That's how weasels of the left operate! Why would they trouble themselves with any official complaint that they know has no basis in reason or law...... much better (from the perspective of leftist weasels) to utilize the NY Slimes idiots to launch a public attack that is very difficult to counter without revealing all sorts of classified information???

Tice had been bounced out before any of this hit the news.
He complained (probably to the IG) about the co-worker he thought was a Chi-Com agent.
But he only talked to the press about his outrage at the AQ monitoring.
Odds are, he didn't even know it was going on until he read about it in the NYT.
