BREAKING NEWS:

We rep @DHSgov #whistleblower #BrianMurphy. @January6thCmte hired #JosephMaher who allegedly unlawfully retaliated against him.

More impt, Maher is FACT witness for 1/6 event. He helped shut down DHS monitoring of domestic extremists who led coup attempt. Why?
#Maher was recently detailed to @January6thCmte from @DHSgov, where he is a top attny. He replaced our client as Acting Undersecretary of Intelligence & Analysis in 8/20. I&A is part of Intelligence Community & mission is to monitor homeland for threats

3/We are floored that @January6thCmte hired #Maher as senior staffer. Would 1945 Joint Committee of Congress investigating Pearl Harbor bombing have hired the Base Commander as part of its staff? Of course not!

Then why has Committee hired someone they should be investigating?
4/#Maher was caught up in all sorts of shenanigans conducted by Acting Secretary #ChadWolf & Acting Deputy Secretary #KenCuccinelli. Questions need to be asked of #Maher as a witness, not a staffer.

5/Ironically, @RepAdamSchiff, as HPSCI chair, dealt directly w/#Maher last Fall in a non-flattering way bc DHS was not cooperating w/#BrianMurphy investigation.

#Schiff, of course, is Member of @January6thCmte. I imagine he will have many Qs for Maher.

6/This is 2nd time @January6thCmte has made controversial hire of indiv who retaliated against #whistleblower. This remains unresolved.

@SpeakerPelosi, please #FireBuckley

nytimes.com/2021/08/03/us/…
8/Can't make this stuff up. @January6thCmte is continuing unlawful retaliation against @AndrewBakaj, the attny who was lead counsel for IC #whistleblower!

END/ Let it be clear. We FULLY support important work & mission of @January6thCmte. We highlight these issues bc we want it to succeed. But these hiring decisions of individuals who are not being properly vetted are self-inflicted wounds that must stop.

If you listen to my #NationalWhistleblowerDay speech or read my @washingtonian interview you'll learn I protect lawful #WBs, regardless of political affiliation.

That's why I believe @January6thCmte must remove #DavidBuckley, who retaliated against #WBer, as its staff dir.

1/BREAKING NEWS:

I have been rep'ng @CapitolPolice Ofc #HarryDunn for 5 months & during that time he appeared in many interviews to discuss his #Jan6th experience. Only once did he receive a hostile msg UNTIL @TuckerCarlson's monologue last night. Then things changed.
2/In wake of that rant on @Foxnews, numerous vile/racist msgs have been sent to Ofc Dunn. Many msgs specifically cite Carlson. I've experienced this before. During 1st Trump impeachment when I rep'd IC #whistleblower, death threats didn't arrive until right-wing pundits spoke out
3/There was clear correlation btwn statements from @TuckerCarlson, @IngrahamAngle, @seanhannity, @marklevinshow & #Limbaugh. After (& during when) they spoke, death threats followed. One person was prosecuted & sentenced to year+ in jail.

Responding to @TuckerCarlson & @FoxNews.

#January6thInsurrection #January6thSelectCommittee
2/Statement reads:

"Tonight #FoxNews allowed its host #TuckerCarlson, who has not served a day in uniform, whether military or law enforcement, to criticize the heroism and service of African-American U.S. Capitol Police Officer #HarryDunn.
3/Our client has served 13 years in law enforcement and on January 6, 2021, fought against an insurrectionist violent crowd - no doubt many of them Carlson's supporters - to protect the lives of our elected officials, including Vice President #Pence.

1/BREAKING NEWS: My firm rep’d (w/#BobLitt at @MoFoLLP) top senior execs at @USAGMgov who properly reported misconduct as #whistleblowers against #Trump appointees.

@StateDept OIG has issued final report: complete VINDICATION.

Statement below.
2/We were pleased to work alongside of @GovAcctProj, particularly attny @davidseide, who also represented senior exec. GAP's press release can be read here:

3/USAGM was fed agency torn apart by Trump loyalists incl #MichaelPack, #MoraNamdar, #EmilyNewman & others. They were to "drain the swamp". They WERE the swamp. In 30 years practicing law in DC, I have never seen such arrogance & vitriolic from so many.
