bunch of informers
délateur = informer.
Syndicat, I imagine, is being used ironically. This is a derogatory expression, being used to denigrate those who are trying to bring the suspects to justice, so I think 'bunch of' might work.

This is a bit BE though - I'm not sure how you would phrase it for an American readership!

the whistleblower camp
Agree with Anne-Marie that "syndicat" here is used to denigrate the whistleblowers. I prefer "whistleblowers" to "informers".
