I've handled polygraph cases for over 25 years & regularly lecture on topic. I've sued FBI over its policies. I've also rep'd many polygraphers & American Polygraph Association.

My knowledge is broad on both sides.

This is not how FBI or USG historically operates & is very disconcerting.

"UnitedHealthcare tracked and targeted particular patients who they felt had goals that were too 'aggressive'." - Our client, Max Ollivant, at the Consumer Voice annual conference on how UnitedHealthcare delayed or flat-out denied care to vulnerable nursing home patients.

This Halloween, we’re genuinely scared - not of ghosts, but by President Trump's attack on the rule of law, accountability, and democracy. Without brave whistleblowers, our nation lacks the essential checks and balances designed to keep us safe.

House Republicans accuse Biden's FBI of retaliating against whistleblower who exposed misconduct FBI denied attorney representation to Emily Fertitta during security clearance interviews after her husband, Special Agent Valentine Fertitta, exposed agency misconduct, according to the House Judicia...

Absolutely unacceptable FBI/DOJ conduct.

But has nothing to do w/Biden Admin or partisan politics. Common practice for years & we pushed back all the time.

If anyone thinks Trump's first term FBI/DOJ didn't act similarly, I have a bridge to sell you.

Whistleblower organizations applaud withdrawal of Trump’s ‘unfit’ nominee to lead oversight office Media reports in recent weeks found that Paul Ingrassia, who has a history of inflammatory rhetoric, has been accused of sexual harassment and sent racist text messages.

"I commend him [Ingrassia] for having the minimum self-awareness to conclude that his inexperience, racist leanings, and disdain for public servants make him resolutely unfit to hold the Office of Special Counsel" - Our lead atty Andrew Bakaj on @govexec.bsky.social.

Read whistleblower Arturo Béjar and others' full report on how Instagram is failing to protect minors below. ⬇️

fairplayforkids.org/wp-content/u...

Instagram’s teen safety features are flawed, researchers say Numerous safety features that Meta has said it has implemented to protect young users on Instagram over the years do not work well or, in some cases, don't exist, according to a report from child-safety advocacy groups that was corroborated by researchers at Northeastern University.

Once again, Meta has lied, claiming its safety features keep kids safe when really, they either don't work or don't exist.

It's past time for Meta to stop lying - as our clients and other whistleblowers have proved: Meta couldn't care less about safety.

ICYMI: Our client, Jason Sattizahn, joined the @heatinitiative this week outside of @Meta's NYC office, where he spoke on how Meta's past and present products harm children and adult users.

My friend and co-counsel from the 1st Impeachment @markzaidesq.bsky.social is being singled out by senators now the WH. We rep clients, not causes. This is an attempt to distract from issues Congress has every right to investigate. Such distractions will not work!

Scrolling 2 Death is live! YouTube video by Scrolling 2 Death

Check out our client, Jason Sattizahn, LIVE in front of NYC Meta @ 10 AM ET, where he will discuss how the company is endangering kids across its platforms.

www.youtube.com/live/U6U9tSA...

Meta didn’t lower the minimum age to use VR from 13 to 10 based on research. They lowered the age to avoid getting sued for knowingly keeping kids under 13 on their platforms.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Did Meta stop research projects on child safety?

Meta whistleblower: Yes.

Klobuchar: Did Meta restrict info researchers collect?

WB: Yes.

Klobuchar: Did Meta modify research results?

WB: Yes.

Klobuchar: Did Meta require researchers delete data?

WB: Yes.

Meta whistleblower: It’s my job to listen to and advocate for users. Meta is uninterested and unwilling to listen to its users or prioritize their safety. The research is clear, yet Meta has failed to prioritize child safety.

The Social Network 2 is featuring our former client, Frances Haugen, the question is: Will The Social Network 3 feature our client, Jason Sattizahn, too?

Haugen and Sattizahn both exposed Meta for child endangerment on its platforms.
