Obama Has Sentenced Whistleblowers to 25 TIMES the Jail Time of All Prior U.S. Presidents COMBINED
The Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined.
This administration has also obtained much longer jail sentences against whistleblowers than previous presidents.
ACLU legislative counsel Gabe Rottman noted last October:
The Obama administration has secured 526 months of prison time for national security leakers, versus only 24 months total jail time for everyone else since the American Revolution.
(So – as of October – Obama had thrown whistleblowers in jail for 22 times longer than all other presidents.)
Today, whistleblower Barrett Brown was sentenced to 63 months in prison.
So now we’re up to 589 months for whistleblowers. That’s 25 times more time meted out against whistleblowers by Obama than all other presidents combined.
But even that stunning figure understates the savagery of the Obama administration’s war on whistleblowers …
After all, Jeremy Hammond – regarded by many as a whistleblower – was sentenced by Obama to 10 years in prison.
The trial of CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling is proceeding right now … and the prosecution is seeking a lengthy prison sentence.
If Edward Snowden or Julian Assange are ever caught, the government will seek very lengthy sentences.
And the government would have obtained lengthy prison terms for high-level NSA whistleblowers Thomas Drake and William Binney – and even “framed” them with false evidence – but they were brilliant enough to able to prove with bulletproof evidence that the government was lying.
Top mainstream reporters also say the Obama administration is more hostile to the free press – the folks who spread whistleblower leaks – than any other in history. And see this.
Indeed, Obama is treating reporters like terrorists and criminals. For example:
- Obama has also gone after top reporters. His Department of Justice labeled chief Fox News Washington correspondent James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” in a leak case, and for many years threatened to prosecute Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times journalist James Risen
- The Obama administration also spied on Risen, Rosen, the Associated Press, CBS reporter Cheryl Atkinson and other media
- The Pentagon smeared USA Today reporters because they investigated illegal Pentagon propaganda
- Reporters covering the Occupy protests were targeted for arrest
- In an effort to protect Bank of America from the threatened Wikileaks expose of the bank’s wrongdoing, the Department of Justice told Bank of America to a hire a specific hardball-playing law firm to assemble a team to take down WikiLeaks (and see this)
- The NSA and its British counterpart treated Wikileaks like a terrorist organization, going so far as to target its employees politically, and to spy on visitors to its website

:-( Of course, Obama left this out of his State Of The Union address. )-:
It seems that, to the current Oligarchy, (including the Fed, the President, the Senate, Congress, and the MSM Pres and all the USA "citizens" attending Davos) the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Democracy are all terrorism.
In my book his record on whsitleblowers makes him the worst president in all US history.
Whistleblowers are a problem for the government for various reasons but you listen to what Obozo says and what he does and you'll go right into brain lock. What is going to be funny is when he leaves office he loses the ability to cover his and his friends butt and you can bet there are people who will enjoy destroying him.
You have to be kidding. If anything he will get pardoned for all the criminal activity he did, whether it be a democrat or republican.
“That’s why I am richer than you…”
That’s why I led the nation who beheaded most…
I sentenced whistleblowers to 25 times the jail time of all prior U.S. Presidents combined…
Same “we can” lot.
