HYPOCRITE INSPECTOR WHO CRITICIZED SNOWDEN FOR NOT USING ‘OFFICIAL’ CHANNELS FOUND GUILTY OF RETALIATING AGAINST A WHISTLEBLOWER WHO DID

National Security Agency (NSA) inspector general George Ellard, an outspoken critic of whistleblower Edward Snowden, personally retaliated against another NSA whistleblower, Adam Zagorin reported at the Project on Government Overreach (POGO) on Thursday.
An intelligence community panel earlier this year found that Ellard had retaliated against a whistleblower, Zagorin writes, in a judgment that has still not been made public.
The finding is remarkable because Ellard first made headlines two years ago when he publicly condemned Snowden for leaking information about the NSA’s mass surveillance of private citizens, wherein Ellard claimed that Snowden should have raised concerns through internal channels. The agency would have protected him from any retaliation, Ellard said at the time.
Politico reported on Ellard’s 2014 comments:
‘We have surprising success in resolving the complaints that are brought to us,’ he said.
