I hope Abe gets the justice he seeks.

Me too. Spoke truth and was punished and disgraced for it. :-(

"he complained about agents drinking on the job, chasing women and showing up unfit for duty."

I wonder if Carol Leonnig interviewed him for her book about the Secret Service, given that book is largely about things like agents drinking on the job, partying with hookers and being unfit for duty.

A really utterly fascinating story.

Another lead that Jim Garrison was on to back in 1967-68.  Which was buried by the WC.

When you can bury something like Chicago, that is really saying something.
