Boeing has tried very hard to paint Mr. Eastman as a common criminal, and deny him the dignity of being acknowledged as a legitimate whistleblower, which he is. It appears they may have been successful in buying themselves influence in the prosecutor’s office through campaign contributions, and they successfully convinced a judge to instruct the jury to ignore whistleblower law in considering the case during the last trial. One can only wonder what they’ve been cooking up for the second one.

Boeing apparently feels they must make a very big example of Mr. Eastman in order to intimidate and terrorize the rest of their employees. I expect they fear what other employees might be able to tell if they decided to become whistleblowers. In the mean time, I am advised, working conditions continue to deteriorate and the atmosphere becomes more hostile for their employees.

Boeing attends court dates with a stable of attorneys, both in-house and some outside hired guns, I am told. All of this to try to destroy one whistleblower, who has only his one court appointed defender to fight back. If anyone knows of more help for Mr. Eastman, please let him know.
