Thomas Drake is a former NSA senior executive who famously exposed the governments illegal domestic surveillance program. While at NSA, he blew the whistle on a multi-billion fraud and secret dragnet electronic surveillance and data mining program conducted by the NSA after 9/11. In April 2010 Tom was charged by the US Department of Justice with a 10 felony count Espionage Act indictment facing 35 years in prison, until the government's case against him collapsed in June 2011.
