The reason the government incentivizes whistleblowing and protects those that do so is because without those laws there is a legitimate fear of retaliation. In order to protect itself, the government makes sure that that fear is actualized when whistleblowing on it. I have to agree with the GP that when pointing out breaking the law is breaking the law, there is a loss of legitimacy.
