Advice from whistleblower experts
I spoke with experts on whistleblowing and government oversight about what lies ahead for federal employees, and I’ve aggregated some key resources here for you, as well.
Who I spoke with:
Jane Turner, former FBI Special Agent, whistleblower, and whistleblower advocate, now leading editor for Whistleblower Network News
Tom Devine, legal director for the Government Accountability Project and one of the most accomplished whistleblower attorneys and advocates in the world.
Siri Nelson, executive director of the National Whistleblower Center
Shanna Devine, Director of the Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds at the US House of Representatives.
Their advice:
