Some of the long term leftwingtard agents of disinformation might well OUT themselves in this deal ~ 'cause it's really big and could well doom Democrat party fortunes for most the rest of the century.

I see some of them being sacrificed here and on other boards already ~ criticizing the whistleblowers is part of the traditional technique of protecting the bad guys.

At a certain level you can’t just walk away from a government job ~ they gots’ ta’ let you go firest. The way I see it is Lerner is not being turned loose ~ Hull is. Gives me an idea of who ratted who out and who will get prosecuted as an employee ~

Hofacre is just one of many. You have to realize she got out of that unit in 2010 ~ if this ploy (whistleblowing is a ploy in a tough game) fails, she is not going to be destroyed by triumphal returning bosses ~ the others who speak up will be!

Large federal bureaucracies are not an amorphous mass ~ the subagencies specialize in a variety of things and engage in TURF WARS ~ but when it comes to subordinates, you really have to be careful blowing away your own immediate boss. I am sure Hofacre has her friends back in the unit under attack ~ but what they're saying to each other is something I can only guess.

Your attitude may discourage low level bureaucrats from exposing the big bosses’s misdeeds.

Stop being so hysterical. My alleged attitude has no effect on anything. Federal agencies are corrupt and the lower level non-management people understand that and try to join up for the sake of their careers or they keep their heads down and try not to commit identity suicide. I have personally seen a case where a whistle blower was paid off to take early retirement. He had a good lawyer and the union behind him and he was quite bright. Lying under oath is learned early. Nepotism is also an epidemic.

My main point was that this Halfwit or whatever its name was did or should know the way it was going to unfold. The only way to get rid of the corruption is to legislate the departments out of existence.
