Dissenter Weekly: Crooked ICE Union Deal Exposed By Whistleblower
Plus, co-founder of drone tech company abused access to classified information to cheat his competitors
In this edition of “Dissenter Weekly,” host and Shadowproof editor Kevin Gosztola covers a couple whistleblower stories that are emblematic of the mess, which must be cleaned up after President Donald Trump’s administration.
Later, Kevin highlights a wild story involving the co-founder of a drone company, who is fortunate to not be facing a prosecution under the Espionage Act because he abused his access to classified information to enrich himself. It further demonstrates how political Espionage Act cases are.
The show concludes with a deconstruction of an MSNBC segment that cynically pit NSA whistleblower Reality Winner against NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
