    says ODNI pivoted from whistleblower protection to extracting his sources, then "ghosted" him
    M. Brown account via Cybernews (2025-26) - single-source
    Caveat SHORTENED 30 August 2026. The first half is Matthew Brown's own account, attributed to him by "says", and it stands. The second half - "an official later accused him of fabrication" - names no accuser, and an anonymous accusation of fabrication against a living named person is the single most exposed sentence this screen found. It is dropped rather than reworded, because there is nobody to attribute it to. IT CAN BE RESTORED the moment the official is named and a source recorded.
