Another upvote from someone with many friends and colleagues in NIST. I hope transparency prevails and NISTers side with that urge as well (I suspect many do).

They could and should leak more documents if they have evidence of malfeasance.

There are both legal safe avenues via the IG process and legally risky many journalists who are willing to work for major change. Sadly legal doesn’t mean safe in modern America and some whistleblower have suffered massive retribution even when they play by “the rules” laid out in public law.
