After using statutory internal channels—including congressional oversight committees and executive Inspectors General—the whistleblowers faced armed federal raids. Binney details how federal prosecutors attempted three separate times between 2007 and late 2009 to secure criminal indictments on fabricated grounds. By maintaining documented evidence that exposed the administration's actions, the whistleblowers successfully halted every indictment attempt.
