IANAL but I don't think whistleblower protections would ever apply to leaking a confidential document to wikileaks regardless of whether you're paid or not.

- snowwrestler 11y agoI highly doubt that whistleblower protections would apply to leaking a draft trade agreement. Typically those protections are intended to provide protection for people who disclose wrongdoing that would otherwise be unknown. But in the eyes of the law, negotiating a trade deal is not wrongdoing. It is one of the enumerated powers of the executive branch.
