I've observed that these stories are often given brief mention in mainstream media, but then shorted the attention they deserve [and then quickly fade from memory]. This story should have been huge including the traumatizing of the whistleblower, a woman who lives in the DFW area whose kids were followed to school and whose lawyer's office was robbed of the files relevant to the case. If government or people around government go after a whistleblower, that should be a scandal that should transcend political lines. Instead, almost nobody hears about it.
