I found this of interest:
Section 1107 of the SOX 18 U.S.C. § 1513(e) states:[45]
Whoever knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, takes any action harmful to any person, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any federal offense, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
So if they hadn’t gone to a “law enforcement officer” but had blown the whistle in some other way, no issues with getting rid of them? How many whistleblowers knew this is the only way to do it and not get fired?
