"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the idea is that they did a freelance audit of the Clinton Foundation, with the hope that if they could get the IRS to buy their argument that taxes are owed, they get a cut of it. If so, that's fine as far as it goes. Even if this "whistleblower" incentive program is effectively being abused by freelance trolls looking to score a cut of some charity money, I can still see value in allowing that, since it gives the nation unpaid watchdogs, keeping an eye on charities. But, it certainly makes me suspicious of the testimony. It wouldn't be a neutral statement of facts. It would, instead, be a bit of zealous advocacy on behalf of an argument where they personally have millions of dollars at stake. From the start, they needed to make a case and win it, because if they don't, thousands of hours of unpaid labor are never getting compensated. It's a bit like hearing from the attorney for a class action lawsuit, who doesn't get paid unless he wins. The class action case may be weak or strong, but either way he's going to tell you it's airtight.

“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
