'Hashing it Out': Andrew Bakaj on leaking and whistleblowing

Congress is talking about impeachment after news broke about a whistleblower complaint involving President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter.

I’ve got the perfect guest for the moment: Andrew Bakaj. He served in the CIA and the Department of Defense, and he’s an attorney with the Compass Rose Legal Group who just so happens to represent the whistleblower in this case. On today’s show, we’re going to discuss the Espionage Act as it applies to whistleblowing and leaking within the intelligence and national security communities and examine how important whistleblowing is to report waste, fraud, and abuse in our government.
