He knows he is going down. He’s about to go after the Epstein victims hard. I have a feeling someone in that group was possibly abused by him and just hasnt made it publicly known yet. They may have been waiting for the release.

This move seems counterproductive to transparency. Whistleblowers are essential for accountability, regardless of the administration.

The protection of whistleblowers is vital for maintaining transparency in any administration. This is a significant policy shift.

Without solid protections, there is a risk of discouraging reports of potential wrongdoing. This is definitely a cause for concern.

A president shouldn’t be able to do this without Congressional approval…

As usual, someone behind the throne (Vought? Miller?) is directing this. Donnie TACO probably didn’t even know these laws existed, and he likely thinks a “whistleblower” is someone who literally blows a whistle (although he has “allegedly” done some blowing before).

Whistleblower protections are set by law. The president doesn’t get to just decide they don’t exist.
Fuck this piece of shit and everyone that supports him.

>The White House is close to implementing a new rule that would effectively eradicate congressionally approved whistleblower protections.
>Congress has passed several laws since the 1970s extending protections to federal workers who call out governmental wrongdoing. But the Trump administration is planning on chipping away at that by updating its policy on accountability, which would “exclude senior employees from legal protections that prohibit U.S. government agencies from retaliating against whistleblowers,” reported Reuters Tuesday.
>Federal employment attorneys noted that the new policy would make targets out of the people most likely to find themselves in positions to uncover serious corruption.
>“Translation: Trump can fire federal employees who point out that he’s broken the law. That’s pretty damn dark,” wrote Miles Taylor, an ex–Homeland Security official who drew national attention in 2018 when he anonymously penned an op-ed for The New York Times claiming to be part of the internal “resistance” against Trump’s first-term agenda.
>It would follow through on Donald Trump’s April proposal to create a new federal employee category to “enhance accountability.”
>“This rule empowers federal agencies to swiftly remove employees in policy-influencing roles for poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or subversion of Presidential directives, without lengthy procedural hurdles,” reads a White House fact sheet from the time on the proposed changes.
>The Office of Personnel Management estimated at the time that the switch-up could affect as many as 50,000 positions across government agencies.
>The Trump administration told Reuters Tuesday that the new rule would not strip employees of their current protections but would “put individual federal agencies in charge of enforcing those safeguards.”
>“This administration is making good on its determination to silence dissent in all forms, creating a culture of fear, silence and intimidation,” Andrew Bakaj, chief legal counsel of the nonpartisan group Whistleblower Aid, told Reuters in a statement.
MAGA: *That’s right, we ordered a Trump White House with* extra *corruption.*

I wonder why? Could Donald have done something illegal, immoral, unethical, and/or unjust? Perhaps trying to prevent someone from revealing wrongdoing and/or the on going cover up of the Epstein files?
