I do think he broke the law (and I still like him. If I could wave a magic wand I'd bring him back and get the judge to give him a token sentence, or remand it to a civil matter -- breach of contract since he was a contractor), but that's just my opinion. I think there's ambiguity with respect to whistleblower laws, and he might want to stay out because he doesn't feel like he will get a fair trial, which, if I were him, I would not expect.

When you have to break the law to show that the government is breaking the law, you have break the law.

One cannot Stress this enough. As Brecht said, „where injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.“
