7. Gallup's business model was to cheat and lie.

The Whistle blow said, "According to Lindley, when he asked O'Brien why he had been fired, O'Brien said "When you start talking about going to the Department of Justice, I don't trust you anymore.""

Now why would the lawyer to Gallup be upset that an employee is going to DOJ, unless they was some criminal behavior going on in the corporation.

Here are some of the crimes of Gallup:

"According to Lindley's lawsuit, on a $2 million-a-year sole-source contract with the Mint, Gallup inflated the number of hours required to complete the work, usually by a multiple of two or three times the number justified by historical experience. Gallup was hired to conduct market research for the sale of newly issued coins."

"The lawsuit says Gallup actually wrote the request for proposal that the Army's contracting officer issued. Gallup wrote the proposal so the contract could be awarded only to a company with characteristics that were unique to Gallup, according to Lindley's allegations."

Now how are you going to trust their polling?
