🧵👇 Abusing its power over security clearances is the most effective and least accountable way that the Executive Branch retaliates against #whistleblowers. Congress and the Courts need more effectively check that abuse of power. It’s a grave threat to truth and accountability.

Here is what @MikeZummer blew the whistle on and how.
As you can see, it was serious and important, but it had nothing to do with national security.
And nothing Zummer did reflected poorly on his integrity or trustworthiness—quite the opposite.

But look how the @FBI treated @MikeZummer.
Yank his clearance & pay.
Deny him permission to work elsewhere.
Brand him "untrustworthy" for releasing "sensitive government ... information."
All because he told a sentencing judge about a sexual predator's abuse of power.
