Nothing is going to happen unless the whistleblower is a congressman or a senator. The FBI is part of the Department of Justice...THERE WILL BE NO PROSECUTION of people who retaliate against whistleblowers. It was a valiant attempt on the part of the translator but it looks like she's finished. From this point forward she will be the target of FBI investigations. The days of checks and balances are gone. The FBI investigates anything it wants and will take jurisdiction over any Federal investigations. So if an agency outside of Justice like Secret Service, Customs, or IRS is investigating someone that the FBI doesn't want investigated, they, with the blessing of the united states attorneys office takes the case. It dies right there and then if it suits them. Who investigates the FBI? NOBODY. They can do whatever they want. Not even the Supreme Court wants to take them on. Remember the FBI also does background checks on all of these Judicial apointees. They certainly don't want the FBI to have an "accidental" leak to the press of past embarassing behavior comitted by some of these Judges that were collected during FBI background checks. Too much power entrusted to the FBI. The United States is slowly becoming a police state. That is why the world sees us as hipocrits when we try to shove our version of democracy down their throats. We have to be a democracy all the time, not when its just convenient.

The little people can't win cases like this. The political appointees have it made. They corrupt the system and the workers pay the price. The people in charge of these people are a bunch of liars and they continually get away with it. The Supreme court is controlled by the Republicans, forget it, they won't hear the case. This woman is toast, although she probably is correct.
