36. Beat this drum as often as possible: FBI agent NOT whistleblower but leaker

The only thing that could possibly make him a whistleblower is if he uncovered info that the FBI was trying to cover-up the investigation. If that's the case, then yes, this agent is a whistleblower, otherwise, he was leaking information on an ongoing investigation. From the current reports, this agent just "tattled" to a Republic Representative (doesn't matter if this Rep was previously FBI, the agent should have known better) about an ongoing investigation. That is leaking, leaking, leaking. Naming this agent a whistleblower without facts that actually outline how he's a whistleblower is shoddy reporting. And it seems it's the Republics that are trying to paint this agent as a whistleblower and not a leaker to make them look better about the whole thing.
