She nails things on the head. She discovered a COVER UP and she had to retrieve missing emails. The justice dept had ignored a court subpoena and her boss had actually deleted her emails.

And thus...the saga of a whistle-blower began.

Pow Wow at FDL nails it on the head:

Jesselyn Radack (& Friend):



Your public service, Jesselyn, and the completely unwarranted sacrifices you’ve made as a result of the machinations of a corrupt, politically-motivated Executive Branch, are a poster child for the whistleblowing problems Congress has let secretly fester, to the great detriment of good faith whistleblowers, and thus to honest and ethical conduct in our federal government. Ms. Radack’s treatment at the hands of certain high officials of the DOJ is appalling. And to think that employees of that department are the ones charged with tracking down destruction of evidence in other parts of the Executive Branch, including in this CIA leak investigation…



Instead of pandering to corporate-subsidiary media outlets and their demands for federal testimony shield legislation for their corporate employees, the time has long since come for Members of Congress to demand a thorough and comprehensive review of the use and abuse of classification authority in the Executive Branch, and of violations of and loopholes in protections for whistleblowers (including in their post-government careers) who report clear cases of wrongdoing in our federal government. Ms. Radack’s case should be used as the opening bell in the establishment of a special Congressional commission to explore how the “national security” excuse for widespread government secrecy is diminishing and corrupting the rule of law in this country, behind closed doors, and threatening our Constitutional right to liberty and equal justice as a result. The media’s professed need to protect anonymous sources (by way of exempting reporters from providing federal testimony in criminal investigations) is but a misleading symptom: the cause that must be addressed and cured is the ongoing abuse of classification secrecy and the trust of public office in the pursuit of illegal and unethical ends.



Jesselyn Radack is now courageously on record, in her own words. Congress: get her in front of your committees, and pursue the corrupt DOJ officeholders who have abused the public trust to target her with vindictive “payback” for her honesty and honorable conduct as a federal public servant in our Department of Justice.

Really...you're not going to get the whole story from the mainstream media. So just read the book.
