>> so you decided to be a whistleblower and bring this to the attention of whom? with whom did you speak and what was the reaction? >> well, the first place i went was the office of greg harper, our local congressman, and i was directed to the office of special counsel, which is the department of justice. and they gave me the federal whistleblower protection, and then they jumped right on all the documentation i had, and they've been great. >> okay. one of the whistleblowers from the va hospital in phoenix spoke after eric shinseki's resignation on friday, and here's what she said. >> i don't think the pandora's box has been opened yet. i think there's a firestorm coming. the only way it's going to come is if the employees who are allowed to speak up without retaliation? >> do you think pandora's box is yet to be opened? >> i think there's going to be even more revelations.

>> well, eric, once again this is dodging the bullet, where ever it may land. i don't understand why juan can say that. we don't even know. you know, you said you had all of these investigations about benghazi, we don't know yet what the ambassador was doing there. we have no answer to that. the state department doesn't even know or if they know they're lying and covering up. the public doesn't know. so naturally we have to keep digging into this stuff because we get lied to all the time. >> and remember, this is the administration that promised to usher in a new era of transparency. there's no transparency. >> a quick thought michelle and juan you can bring it to a close. >> there's no transparency in this administration. that's what they promised. yet if you look they go after whistleblowers. they deny more requests than they approve. we are 46th in the world. we are behind el salvador yet this is supposed to be a transimportant government. no one is even held accountable,
