Until these whistleblowers expose EU beauracrats.
Everybody claims to love whistleblowers and truth until they are the target of the expose.
Take Assange and Manning. He was loved and praised by the left when he exposed war crimes primarily of the bush era ( iraq, afghanistan ). The right hated him as a foreign spy and hacker. A few years later, Assange exposed the left and now the left hates him for being a foreign spy and hacker and the right ( at least some of them ) loves him.
These "high-level" protections is meaningless if the whistleblowers target the truly powerful. Then all kinds of accusations and charges will be used to take down the whisteblower.
- rorykoehler 7y agoI would classify myself as fairly left and I am a big supporter of Assange. Scum hate him. Nothing to do with left or right.

Corbyn did too. Hillary Clinton hates him (for showing her dirty tricks on the DCCC), but not exactly "the left".
