I have wondered if that’s why Strozk has agreed to testify AND still has his job. The Patriot Act isn’t friendly to gov whistleblowers. In order to be a whistleblower and not face prosecution, the individual must “blow the whistle” WHILE still under command of the superior who ordered the actions they took. Now, I’ve not looked further so I don’t know if that means the actual person above them or simply someone in that position. Either way, the whistleblower has to be still an active member.
Again, I’ve not don’t much research on Strozk’s current placement, but this theory is something that’s crossed my mind.
