A political storm has erupted in Washington state involving a whistleblower who claims she was retaliated against after raising concerns about ObamaCare's implementation.

Patricia Petersen, a hearings officer in the state's Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC), filed a whistleblower complaint alleging coercion and corruption in the OIC, which is tasked with implementing the Affordable Care Act. She said Chief Deputy James Odiorne threatened her job if she didn’t rule the way Commissioner Mike Kreidler -- a supporter of the law -- wanted.

ADVERTISEMENT "If a judge is told by a party to decide his cases in a certain way, or one party can threaten the judge’s job if the case is not decided in that party’s favor, then this central pillar of our democratic society is corroded,” Petersen said at a recent hearing called by the Senate Law and Justice Committee.

If true, James Odiorne needs to go to prison.

Democrats are, of course, lying about this because the only way they can sell Obamacare is to lie about it. But state administrative law judges are supposed to be independent and make decisions based on the law.

IS this satire? Coming from the party that controls the purse strings and can stop every penny of spending on any item it desires? GIVE ME A BREAK.

I hope she’s got it in writing, video, online, cell phone and throw in a witness would be nice. That’s about how much is needed these days.
