This doesn't involve statutory wistleblowing; this involves First Amendment right, which supercedes.

1st doesn't protect from loss of job. Seeing that congress exempts itself from most laws and has a constitutional mandate to "police" itself, I would not be surprised if this staffer doesn't have the same protection a worker in the private sector has.

Read the case law contained herein; I think you will find that my analysis is correct.

So, only write back after examining the case law I reference.

The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 did apply many employment laws to the Congress.

...But not the 1989 Whistleblower Protection Act.
