My colleague @MarkSZaidEsq and I wrote an OpEd in the @nytimes regarding our work on Intelligence Community Whistleblower matter. "Lawful whistle-blowers should always — always — be protected from reprisal. That is the foundation of our democracy."

News: DNI Director Gabbard has blocked our client from briefing Congress on their highly classified whistleblower complaint –  now for over 8 months.  Today we told DNI it's not a request--it's a right: @AndrewBakaj @MarkSZaidEsq Earlier today, Whistleblower Aid sent a response

As a Moynihan alum, it's Moynihan Hall and Penn Station.

In a statement, @CIA calls @RonWyden's letter referring to deep concerns he has about unspecified CIA activities a "badge of honor."

"The process is not optional." Thank you, @SenatorWarner Director Gabbard must follow the law. @wbaidlaw counsel will brief the Hill next week if @ODNIgov fails to provide security guidance for our whistleblower client to go to the congressional intel committees on a highly

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.

The leadership of our Intelligence Committees needs to know if our national security is endangered. REDACTED versions will not cut it. It is well past time for @ODNIgov to provide the guidance for our whistleblower client to brief those charged with keeping us all safe.

Yes, @danielsgoldman @RepDanGoldman. I am.

We need the Gang of Eight to confirm they received access to the disclosure, and whether it was actually the full document. Our client deserves to be heard by Intel leaders (with protections in place) & they need to see the underlying intelligence. Government officials must

"I have no confidence at this point that the Intelligence Committees, the Congress, will get what they need": @AndrewBakaj of @WBAidLaw on @OutFrontCNN. https://t.co/ldXppbMeD6 1/2

You don't hide something for over eight months if you're not afraid of the consequences or knowingly engaging in something that would damage trust. It's deliberate, sustained deception.

Warner: "It took the Gang of 8 six months of negotiation with (Gabbard) to share that WB complaint. This is in direct contradiction to what Gabbard testified during her confirmation hearings, that she would protect whistleblowers and share the information in a timely manner."
