We call on you to emphatically and unequivocally support and protect these employees to your fullest abilities, including by issuing statements of support and ensuring they are not subject to any act of reprisal.
We are writing you, and not Sec. Pompeo, because his silence to date speaks volumes. He has failed to stand up for the Dept’s own people, despite their steadfast service to our country, despite their dedication to public service without regard to party, president, or politics.
Instead, the Department has focused on preventing and dissuading its personnel from providing information and testimony to Congress. Many have decided, boldly, courageously, to stand up and testify nonetheless—at great personal, financial, and reputational expense.
...
...
Given Secretary Pompeo’s dereliction of duty in protecting Department personnel from these attacks, we call on you to take all necessary steps to protect them, and other officials who come before Congress,
including addressing any threats to their safety and ensuring they do not suffer any retaliation or reprisals.
...
...
We request that you do your part to show employees that the Department stands with them, and remains supportive of their sacrifices in the name of our national security.
We also request that you provide an update within three business days of the steps you are taking in support of Department personnel.
