Description: Chairman Scott, Ranking Member Gohmert, members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me to speak with you about the treatment of whistleblowers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I represent the American Civil Liberties Union, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to defending the Constitution and protecting civil liberties. The ACLU vigorously supports meaningful legal protections for all whistleblowers, but particularly for employees and contractors within the law enforcement and intelligence communities, where abuse and misconduct can have serious and direct effects on our rights and liberties, as well as our security.
