RE: Safety Concerns Regarding the Intelligence Community Whistleblower
Dear Chairman Burr, Chairman Schiff, Vice Chairman Warner, and Ranking Member Nunes:
Enclosed please find correspondence to Acting Director Maguire conveying our serious concerns for our client’s personal safety, as well as for others connected to this matter. Our concerns apply directly to the efforts your Committees wish to undertake.
Therefore, we call upon the political leadership of both parties to speak out in favor of whistleblower protection and reiterate that this is a protected system where retaliation is not permitted, whether direct or implied. We further expect that political leaders from both parties condemn any intimidation against our client and others.
I thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
A signature: Andrew P. Bakaj.
