2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The relish with which Hill supporters are running around calling Sanders [View all]It's investigation as to just how deeply one can violate the failing defenses. Defense failings that had been BROUGHT TO the attention of the DNC and allowed a pass. Once it was obvious that the DNC wasn't concerned, you'd do what you possibly could to document the extent of the weaknesses for your next bit of whistleblowing. OF COURSE - when you threaten the PTB with a possible marring embarrassment, they're going to put the onus ON the whistleblower to execute a CYA maneuver.
As a former whistleblower, I can tell you that after your first exposing, you start to consider the ramifications of doing it the next time. And after the second time, you have to start wondering if you really ARE doing the right thing - given that the fallout might impact innocent folks even if YOU manage to maintain your anonymity.
