Pretty sure this only applies to whistleblowers who are actually telling the truth; it's pretty clear the Vindman's were not being factual, and in actuality, knowingly taking part in a coup, on a sitting President. Their Commander in Chief. While in uniform. MASSIVE fuck up right there. Civilian laws aside, the UCMJ is an altogether different beast   756e  that can fuck you in ways you've never imagined, and LtCol Vindman banked on this coup working. He know's he's squarely fucked and the military will definitely be coming after his ass. You don't get to be a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and not know this. They really thought the impeachment would work, and they're now all fucked.  The kike Vindmans' know what's coming for them, and they know all it takes is a few senior military officials to stand up and lay out the charges. If there's one thing most of the American public will listen to, without question, it's Generals/Admirals. All of their shiny chest candy captures the attention of the NPC. Their authority seems to still hold sway even with the most left leaning idiots. Trump reassigning them is one thing, but when the military comes for their own, the public takes that seriously. I don't even think the media would dare touch that one and suggest these military officials are in any way corrupt. These are not men not be fucked with. Full stop.  The Vindmans' are fucked, and I hope it goes up their CoC and takes more scum with them.
