Prosecution of Whistleblowers Under the Espionage Act

The hosts discuss the Obama administration's aggressive use of the Espionage Act against former government employees, citing the case of James Hitzelberger. They argue that the government maintains a double standard where it demands transparency from citizens but hides its own actions behind claims of national security. They criticize the media for not challenging the assumption that whistleblowers are inherently criminal.
