You're quoting SOX, which is a different law than the Whistleblower Protection Act. SOX, more specifically and relevant, 18 U.S.C. 1514A, was amended in 2010. § 1514A, as amended, only applies to companies registered as securities pursuant to 15 USC § 78l or required to file reports pursuant to § 78o(d) — Dominion, a privately held company, falls into neither category. The case you're citing to covers § 1514A, prior to amendment, i.e., not the current version of § 1514A that Carone's claim would be assessed under. The Court specifically acknowledged this:
[O]ur task is not to determine whether including contractor employees in the class protected by §1514A remains necessary in 2014. It is, instead, to determine whether Congress afforded protection to contractor employees when it enacted §1514A in 2002. Lawson v. FMR LLC, 571 U.S. 429, 456 (2014).
Her attorney will determine what Catwgory of whistleblower and what statute to file under.Federal laws cover both federal employees and private employees. You are the one trying to dismiss her report of fraud by claiming she is not a federal employee. She is still a whistleblower who reported fraud and that is covered by federal laws and protections.
