Today wrote a short & consise email to Senator Schiff and Padilla: gave references to online articles & the CNN youtube interview with the Labor Relations board's Whistle-blower & his lawyer.
I ended the email with: Please get to the bottom of DOGE- Elon Musk nefarious activities: If they accomplished this data breach & all its avenues of Espionage...it makes sense what DOGE's delving & collecting of records & information of every single federal government department they walked into - have be treated the same way.
During most of the years I was part of the working press, it was axiomatic that documented exposure of crimes -- even by the highest officials (as in 1974) -- would lead to appropriate prosecutorial action. It was often said "an investigative reporter is a cop with a press-card and a typewriter rather than a badge and a gun"; nor was it unknown for such reporters to be legally armed.
The first time in modern U.S. history we can be absolutely certain undeniably evidence-mandated prosecution was sandbagged was when Congress granted de facto immunity to the Bankers' Plot perpe-traitors in early 1935. There is evidence -- compelling but not conclusive -- it was also sandbagged in the aftermath of the murders of JFK and RFK; there is a judicial verdict proclaiming it was unquestionably sandbagged to protect the plotters and trigger-man who murdered Martin Luther King Jr. But the most glaringly pivotal example of that sandbagging is undoubtedly Ford's 1974 pardon of Nixon, which is the first of the genuinely unmistakable declarations by the ruling class that We the People are officially stripped of all political power -- the contemptuously defiant prelude, as it were, to Trump's declarations of his own omnipotence and his intent to either reduce the Republic to Auschwitz Nation or -- as his Neoconfederate collaborators vengefully intend -- make it "perish from the earth."
Given that Christonazi infiltration has granted Trump's regime absolute control over all civilian law enforcement agencies whether federal, state or local, let us dearly hope (and if we are so inclined, pray fervently to whatever deities we recognize), that the pledge by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to restore constitutional democracy is backed by people in the military -- officers and enlisted alike -- who remain mindful of their oath to defend our Constitution "against all enemies foreign and domestic."
Thanks for calling my attention to the NPR story. In the deluge of horrors, it's easy to forget that specifics matter, not least because they're clues to the damage being done elsewhere. It's also inspiring to know that in this time of repression, fear, and obeying in advance, some people have both the opportunity and the courage to blow those whistles.
