There are few things more gratifying in my role as an advocate than when a whistleblower trusts me with explosive information (docs, images, etc.) and looks to me to ensure it is released for maximum impact for the public good. Today is another such day. #BuckleUp #Basta

We are now representing whistleblowers within ICE, outside contractors, etc.
They have reached out to us to provide us with info as to what is really going on.
We are going to blow this wide open and take the info to the American people so
they can decide what happens next.

I NEED to see or hear this asap. So much bad happening, so much hiding of child torture, it must be shown then stopped!! So hoping that you have the information, the truth to bring down these Nazis.

Self-described advocate. I think of that as higher than a lawyer or an attorney, almost a citizen of the world

And it worked. I don't think he's been blustering at all. He has made good on most of his threats (as long as they don't jeopardize his legal case) to date.

if it is from the kids in cages facilities. Good hearted whistleblowers, disgruntled employees, health care professionals with a duty to report abuse are all working in those internment camps. This is all going to come out and the GOP will need more than tactical pants to keep the sh*t off themselves.

Are at stake. He was criticizing Dems yesterday for not being active enough and using this for political leverage so he needs to come out with this evidence now?? Unless he's coordinating with some Dem officials or media to get this max exposure. I'm guessing this info/evidence is from ICE agents he's representing and guessing it is horrendous. Just seems one more day for these children to suffer is too many...

He, more than likely, won't release anything until his case is built and he knows what the rules for discovery on such evidence may be. If he were to release it prematurely, it could damage the case and they could get away with the horrors they're committing.

It always takes a while. He gives fair warning and then just when I go grocery shopping he drops a bombshell. Maybe I should go shopping more often.
