My former employer had filed false sworn statements with the D.C. Government alleging that it had determined that I was potentially violent. I had used the employer's false sworn declarations to obtain disability benefits from the U.S. Social Security Administration. It was my good faith belief that violations of federal law had occurred and that the U.S. Department of Justice wrongly refused to investigate these violations.
