Excellent (2 hour) interview, by the way. A 'must hear'. |
How about this:
If a 'whistleblower' is still talking, what they have to say is:
1) not that important, or
2) a deliberate leak to test public reaction, or
3) deliberate misinformation to mislead the public.
I suppose there could be a 4) he's figured out a good protection scheme. A common claim is that "hiding in the open" works because doing something to the whistleblower would increase the perceived validity of what they are saying, but there are ways to make someone look criminal or nuts, and accidents happen.
If a whistleblower gets carted off on trumped up charges, shuts up because of threats, or disappears, go review what he said.
