Sorry to jump in but you said impeachable and illegal orders when talking about the bent one. Made me laugh out loud.
Anyway, what you are also reading is a story about someone who was involved who has discussed the investigation with their friends. Dude, it is hard to make a living and whistle blowers like Snowden who are distroyed, threatened, and live in fear of their life being ended serve as an example of why people do not talk.
People like to eat and have a place to live and be able to support their family. Any kind of public crossing of the government will get you screwed to the wall.
I agree, but we have to remember that a whistle blower helped bring down a sitting President, Nixon. If we have/had a President who has/is done/doing something illegal I would hope that someone would have the cajones to reveal the treachery even he/she has to do so behind a veil of secrecy.
