Rebekah Jones, a Florida data scientist who alleged state officials fired her for refusing to change numbers on the state's Covid-19 dashboard, said she plans on surrendering herself to law enforcement.

from her position for her refusal to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.” She announced on social media Saturday that she planned on surrendering to authorities.

and curry favor with Gov. Ron DeSantis. Authorities seized Jones’ computer, cell phone and other devices. “However, police did find documents I received/downloaded from sources in the state, or something of that nature... it isn't clear at this point what exactly they're saying I had that I shouldn't have had, but an agent confirmed it has nothing to do with the subject of the warrant,” Jones said. “The raid was based on a lie.”

It’s unclear what charge Jones faces upon her surrender. Jones’ lawyer declined to comment on the matter to NBC News.

MSM needs to keep a klieg light on this until it is resolved. Sounds like the Russian method of justice.

Smells fishy

She should get a medal while Desantis gets prison time. Florida's government is a cesspool of corrupt politicians and rife with fraud and has become a tropical Gotham City.

What?!

Florida is one of the warmest and nicest areas of Russia.

I guess it's illegal to expose lies in the US 😯

Guess RonDeSantisFL is scared and stupid

Hang in there, Rebekah! You did the right thing! Truth to Power!

This is as Russian as it gets.

Let's support her. She was supporting the public.

Oh sure that's it. Blame the whistleblower. That's just fuckin' dandy. Shame on them!

US freedeem

Whoa! She's hot.

SharonSharonh10 Can't wait for Biden to pardon her

RonDeSantisFL You're not putin and I suggest you not try to be. leaverebekahalone

美国的吹哨人...

JoeBiden KamalaHarris Sure hope the next administration rights these wrongs and investigates Florida. I suspect covid-19 isn't the only thing not on the up and up.

Isn't that called killing the messenger

Can we get a pornstar to bang DeSantis on tape please?!

This sickens me GeoRebekah! You are only doing what’s right for Florida. If anyone should be arrested is DeathSantis

Governor Ronda Santis needs to go to jail. She’s not fit to serve.

So no investigation on state officials but victim surrender to police? Charming

Doubt she has been subjected to “police violence” for a white collar crime.

She was charged for misconduct *before* her gig as data scientist.

our newspapers did say the tallies are underreported. That's a shame that, not that she was caught, but these facts going malcontented for citizenry morale. People want harsh realities among their hype. And people want cures to be researched honestly and ethically. My opinion.

Meanwhile the FBI tenderly and lovingly arrests white supremacist terrorists. This country is depraved.

will the governor have her killed? I don’t trust that bastard...

She exposed his whole thing is a hoax
