I think that people who lie, betray trusts and break laws are criminals, regardless if you agree with them politically or not. Whistleblowers are something very different. If Feld had resigned his post, like the much more honorable Elliot Richardson, and announced that he couldn't work for someone who asked him to break the law, then he would have been a whistleblower. Someone who leaks to the press (which is a felony) in order to back stab someone else because he was bypassed on a promotion and then denies having done it for for 30+ years isn't a whistleblower.
