If only three have come forward it is either very dangerous to do so, or it’s all BS.

Depending on what type of sensitive info an agent knows, being fired may be the least of their concerns. A prudent FIB agent is probably checking into additional life insurance so their family don’t become paupers should the agent’s world turns against him.

As one of the whistleblowers testified, the FIB rules for WBs are different from those of other Government agencies, and NOT in a good way!

Instead of just offering bogus “whistleblower protections”, we should be making it worth their while with monetary bounties paid to whistleblowers who reveal corruption. And big ones, since they are likely ruining their careers to come forward.

RE: And big ones, since they are likely ruining their careers to come forward.

The only problem with that is it could pave the way for FALSE Whistleblowers to come out just for the money. Better to GUARANTEE that they keep their jobs without fear of revenge or payback.

“Better to GUARANTEE that they keep their jobs without fear of revenge or payback.”

But you can’t guarantee it. There is always retaliation against whistleblowers, no matter what the law says. So you might as well compensate them enough to make it worth their while.

As for false whistleblowers, well they will not be able to produce legitimate documents and such to back their claims like real whistleblowers would, so I don’t think they would be much of an issue. Just make sure nobody gets the money until the claims are verified.

If one can retire at 50, why speak up?

Democrats are always Democrats first.

Being an American is way down on their list.
