The Whistleblower Day resolution that the U.S. Senate passed on Aug. 1, 2017 is not ceremonial. It is a reminder to everyone that it is their duty to expose wrongdoing. Its goal is also to remind every government official that they are not above the law. Happy Whistleblower Day. http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/345033-the-message-behind-national-whistleblower-day
(This is related to Pizzagate because it's believed our government is involved in child sex trafficking, and the information for such was brought forth by whistleblowers who are here on this Earth as well as those who have passed on naturally or have met untimely ends.)

Edit: From the linked article:
"Congress enacted America’s first whistleblower law. Its words ring as true today as they did 239 years ago:
“...It is the duty of all persons in the service of the United States, as well as all other inhabitants thereof, to give the earliest information to Congress or any other proper authority of any misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors committed by any persons in the service of these states.”
Seems like the govt. should be required to notify new hires of their specific duty as required by law to report information they encounter with regard to "misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors." Some people with incriminating information may not be aware that disclosure is actually a legal requirement, and knowledge of that could make the law abiding ones more inclined to divulge.
