On this episode the E9 Mafia talks with the infamous D8 whistleblower Whistler Mcgee.
In May of 2024, a brave and anonymous person came forward by way of an anonymous email that was sent to a large portion of CG personnel and leadership. They later posted the email online for everyone to see.
This email quickly gained traction and others began coming forward.
The E-9 Mafia and McGee have a robust conversation, and provide insight into what went wrong, and what could have went right with the report of sexual assault, and subsequent toxic behavior and allegations of harassment.
If you are a victim or survivor of sex assault and need resources.
