My how times have changed.
Whistle blowers used to be protected.

Now they are labeled enemy of the state and hunted down.

Obama has prosecuted more whistle blowers than all administrations combined.
NO ONE goes against this administration.

a whistleblow, by the definition of the law is someone who reveals information that is against company/ government policy or is illegal under the law.

This is neither so he, like many of the other people prosecuted are not legally whistleblowers and have no protection under the law.

Some of you people need to go back and read about the Pentagon papers and the resulting legal precedents.

She was also defending the law itself. You did see that, didn't you?

my understanding was that the booing started when she said he broke the law.

Obama has used the Espionage act more times in 6 years than it was ever used previously. Bob Woodward sounded the alarm bells on this two years ago. Government sources are being hunted down and destroyed. Destroyed not as in fired but treated as a enemy of the state, 20 year prison sentences, all assets being ceased.

Out of all the things when we voted for Obama this was the least expected. Be glad to see him gone in 3 years and I voted for him last year. Next election could really be a 4 or 5 person race as the democratic party is about to fracture based upon the eroding of liberties. I have voted democrat every since I was 18 and will probably vote 3rd party in national elections from here on out.

Funny how she runs up against conservative Americans who like their freedom and privacy and they are ignored as TEA party kooks, but when she runs up against democrats who are for freedom and privacy that it's supposed to be news.

The current political establishment are statists, that believe in an all powerful police state. It's fun to see liberal progressives finally wake up out of their politically partisan funk, to find a line they won't cross
