The beauty of being in the compliance field (or writing about it) is that within any day’s news cycle, there are lessons to learn and debates to be had.
President Trump, for example, is on the warpath over Oval Office leaks to journalist Bob Woodward. Stripped of histrionics and politics, there just might be valuable academic discussions to be had, including such matters as the role of whistleblowers, retaliation against those employees, internal investigations, and even the forensic skills needed to unearth problematic conversations, memos, and e-mails.
