This is exactly the sort of thing that is going to require people to go to jail for a very long time if we are to avoid this ever happening again. We're going to be told we need to move on. We've been told that every time since ~1865. Which is why the crises keep happening.

The amount of illegal this is is a lot.
SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
