Even more suspicious than the draft indictment is the actual indictment of Drake, in which,

There is a reason Drake's is not a normal prosecution: it is retaliatory.

If the government had strong cases against whistleblowers for actual criminal activity, we would not see the Justice Department presenting bizarre unsupported arguments, draft indictments revealing wild attempts pursue weak cases, and laughable accusations about how "dangerous" whistleblowers are.
