When Whistleblowers Tell The Truth They're Traitors. When Government Lies It's Politics

Immediately after Wikileaks released thousands of documents revealing the extent of CIA surveillance and hacking practices, the government was calling for an investigation - not into why the CIA has amassed so much power, but rather, into who exposed their invasive policies.

“A federal criminal investigation is being opened into WikiLeaks’ publication of documents detailing alleged CIA hacking operations, several US officials,” reportedly told CNN.

According to USA Today:

“The inquiry, the official said, will seek to determine whether the disclosure represented a breach from the outside or a leak from inside the organization. A separate review will attempt to assess the damage caused by such a disclosure, the official said.”

Even Democratic representative Ted Lieu, who has been urging whistleblowers to come forward to expose wrongdoing within the Trump administration, has turned his focus away from what the documents exposed and toward determining how it could have possibly happened.

The fact is, whistleblowers are instrumental in getting the truth out there while our government needlessly and incessantly lies to us. It's time to drain the swamp. The 7th floor and yesterday's 46-purge is only the beginning. Its time to take our country back from tyranny.

This is another reason for term limits and no bill should exempt a Politian or government employee.
