This is a bad question

A whistleblower who does not threaten the government is no whistleblower at all, and any protection that the government might extend to them would either be performative or politically expedient. The presumption that the government would or could protect a legitimate whistleblower whose actions threatens regime power, is naive at best. Under our system where our rights are granted to us by the government, you would be a true moron to think in that circumstance an individual would be granted any rights or protections at all.
