Duping A Whistleblower
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-05-23
What has happened to whistleblower Daniel Hale is very troubling. A former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, he was arrested on May 4 in advance of his July 13 sentencing for blowing the whistle on the U.S. government's deadly and illegal drone program. | Justice Department prosecutors maintain that Hale had "violated the terms of his bail." In court, his attorneys maintained "there were no violations committed by the defendant as alleged." They're right. The government is lying. Daniel explained what happened to me in a phone call from jail. And what happened is yet another injustice against this hero. For th…
