Have you ever heard of "the spirit of the law"?That's part of securing his life and livelyhood.Can any republican idiot read?I've beat that moron over the head with facts for weeks on end. Even my patience has limits.
The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8)-(9), Pub.L. 101-12 as amended, is a United States federal law that protects federal whistleblowers who work for the government and report the possible existence of an activity constituting a violation of law, rules, or regulations, or mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health and safety. A federal agency violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if agency authorities take (or threaten to take) retaliatory personnel action against any employee or applicant because of disclosure of information by that employee or applicant.[1]
Can you? Where does it say the identity must remain secret?
Horseshit. All it says is that the agency that employs the whistleblower cannot take retaliatory personnel action against that employee.
No one else is subject to restrictions. You cannot add words to the law after the fact.
Get real for a change.
