Description

Ray Brescia interviews Mark Zaid, one of the nation's leading experts on both Freedom of Information and Whistleblower law. But he's also a plaintiff, suing the Trump Administration when it revoked Zaid's security clearance. Zaid and Brescia talk about how average citizens can file Freedom of Information Act requests, what rights government whistleblowers have, and the prospects of Zaid's success in his own case.

Whistleblowers are just people who tell the truth. Why is the truth a crime?

Thank the Lord for all Whistleblowers and federal whistleblower law -- we really need conscientious, decent people during this period.

It's shocking & nonsensical that Trump & his regime don't have to be investigated for a secret clearance. None of Trump's staff would get cleared for a secret clearance.

Well, he's making a list and checking it twice. Eventually he will target everyone, everywhere.

We need to outlaw non disclosure agreements. How much lawbreaking is being covered up by companies and businesses? I can only imagine. Trump says he is the King of them. No surprise there

I liked that “on paper”. As a former federal records coordinator I know whistleblowers do not get protection. Really appreciated the discussion on FOIA.

Whistleblowers, and tests, point out and show the truth about everything and make Trump out to be a complete fraud, liar, con artist.
