Following aggressive attempts by federal prosecutors to fabricate charges against him, the DOJ abruptly dropped the effort and issued formal immunity letters. Binney breaks down why this blatant double standard revealed a corrupt institutional hierarchy. Understanding that the internal apparatus existed to conceal federal malfeasance rather than correct it, Binney dedicated his efforts to educating the Fourth Estate and the public on warrantless surveillance. #WilliamBinney #RichardGrove #Interview #Odysee
