a helper the pentagon tasked him with writing up policy sheets for problematic regions at least from the u.s. standpoint like russia or china or india this fact alone raised red flags for the whistleblower since the department of defense as employees tasked with just that while how her was an outsider what made things more suspicious is that helper was paid astronomically more than others. nobody in the office seem to know what hope or was doing for his money is sub contracted out a good chunk of it to other academics he would compile them all and then collect the balance of his fee as a middleman that was very unusual for this type of work the pentagon reimbursed helper with more than a million dollars in the span of just under six years and a stranger doesn't get this kind of money in washington allegations of undercover spy games around help or date back all the way to the reagan years while more

buescher for crossing the wrong people have to think about what actually happens to whistleblowers in the us because they've had a really rough time those coming out of the intelligence agencies over the last decade and the americans say they have this procedure where whistleblowers can convey a second sentence and they will be properly addressed and yet we see time and time again that they're not so i think we need also to consider what might be the best part for whistleblowers to have confidence that if they have concerns about crime or about corruption they will be heard they deem the investigation will occur those who might be needed to be held to account will be held to account but the whistleblower will not be penalized and it appears in this case the whistleblower yet again has been penalized. or love just lawyer national security attorney sean big please call the case an example of deep state corruption he believes his clients just another victim of an internal war against donald trump but his appointees. in mr love and years case those weaponize ing the security clearance
