If a key aspect of this whistleblower’s accusation is Facebook not doing enough to fix foreign hate/misinformation outside the US, then what exactly is the expectation to get out of going through a government investigation?
Why would the gov care? If anything, wouldn’t those details make gov agencies like the FBI or CIA more interested in getting closer with Facebook?

If you need a selfish reason, then consider the blow-back in the from of refugees from destabilized countries, global opinion of the US reaching new depths at a time of high tension, or people switching to a better platform that isn't so 'Merican.
