Whistleblower Edward Snowden took to Twitter to speak out against US politicians' hypocrisy towards whistleblowers. While they preach the anonymity of the CIA whistleblower who came forward with the complaint against President Trump, analyst turned leaker Daniel Hale is facing up to 50 years in prison for leaking a report to the Intercept in 2015 that exposed the inner workings of US military programs abroad.
Unbelievable that
in a moment where politicians are making daily media statements about
"supporting whistleblowers," the media is not pressing
them on the case of Daniel Hale, who is being prosecuted RIGHT NOW for
blowing the whistle on enormously controversial drone programs. https://t.co/hOvc4zErT1
