“The problem with telling a lie, or even a succession of lies, is that a very small dose of the truth can sometimes make the whole thing collapse like a house of cards. The State Department’s own foreign service officer Gregory Hicks was in Libya during the attack, so he knew the truth. When threats were not enough to silence him, it was then necessary to try to discredit him.
After years of getting glowing job evaluations, and awards of honors from the State Department for his work in various parts of the world, Mr. Hicks suddenly began to get bad job evaluations and was demoted to a desk job in Washington after he spoke with a Congressman about what he knew. The truth is dangerous to liars.” –Thomas Sowell

This is so true. It goes across the lines at the city, county, state, and federal levels of government. Isn't it tragic? One thinks they can trust their leaders, but the reality is they are in it for themselves, and their career-they were never in the job for the citizens.

There are no exceptions. Only tolerance.
A corrupt administration retaliating against those who are honest and believe in speaking the truth no matter what. It's time for impeachment, but then look at who we'd have as president until 2016!
