"Federal whistleblowers serve a valuable role in identifying waste, fraud, and abuse across the Federal Government."

"For many of these whistleblowers, doing the right thing and disclosing violations of law and fraud, waste, and abuse comes at a high price."

"they came forward, they pointed out deficiencies, and those deficiencies were changed."

"I just--I don't think this whole dispute, this whole hearing is appropriately before us."
