Daniel Ellsberg, the famous whistleblower who upended the Vietnam War with publishing the Pentagon Papers, joins Ari Melber for an exclusive interview tackling the Ukraine plot’s whistleblower and Trump’s public threat to reveal the whistleblower’s identify. Ellsberg argues no ‘previous president’ has ‘put a target on the back of the whistleblower,’ like Trump, adding his threats alone are an ‘impeachable offense.’ Ellsberg ‘congratulates’ the two whistleblowers and calls for those in the Trump to come forward, arguing ‘everyone’ should be a whistleblower’ now, as Trump is ‘turning out to be a domestic enemy of the constitution. The segment also includes Melber’s new interview with John Kiriakou, former CIA employee who spoke publicly about Bush era torture and was later convicted of leaking, who says Trump’s attacks are ‘very dangerous. Aired on 10/08/19.

Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg: Ukraine Plot Shows Trump Now A 'Domestic Enemy' To The U.S.
And the plot thickens, much like the layer of make-up on Donald’s face.
No that’s not make-up he really does look like a negative image of a racoon.🦝

Oh wait… that was funny
And Halloween is getting closer.🤯🤡💀
We need to set up Go fund for this whistle blowers.
Legally, the whistleblowers aren’t so much a whistleblower, and now they need another one and another one. The question is how many whistleblowers do you need to screw a President out of office? The answer, you will never have enough. TRUMP IN 2020! Four More Years!
Plus a go fund for a very discrete person who is ballistic expert
@Ken Bugbee Waaah-waahh. Keep crying. Not our fault this burning garbage administration is going down in flames.
@Kay Gee
Keep dreaming , you morons have been saying that for years.
This latest attempt is guaranteeing Trump’s reelection in 2020.
Whistleblower need to be in Protective custody, before A.G.Fred Flintstone Barr can Epstein him. 🤔Hmmm
@Dee Spinks same here n 😂
@612Tiberius .big bravo 2ya👍
@Betty Clark,
You’re right – “Shale” was the rival learning institution of “Prinstone”. I always conflated those two…
Yeah millions of us warned the GOP this would happen. Gump is also going to attempt to take us down with him.
Run Forest
Lunacy, yeah, you warned us, but you lied, so there.
Airik Luna What a load of rubbish from MSNBC. Fake fake news. Impeach MSNBC for being more dangerous than Russia. Pathetic

trump will go down in History as, “The prime example of a pathological liar”.
Trump a pathological liar? No, that would be Clinton, but hey, if it weren’t for double standards, the Democrats would have not standards.
@Paul Wilson And Paul Wilson wil be known in history as a ignorant nazi fart
@SR M . I think you mean the Republicans when you make that statement right?
& why is an enemy of US sitting at the WH working for Putin & GOP cheer-leading
SR M MSNBC is a corporate capitalist propaganda network. Try using words you know the meaning of for a change.
I remember being shocked that the first people into the oval office after he was elected were Russian diplomats and US press were excluded. Can’t believe people who think they are patriotic supported that move.
Ask Nancy
Trump. YOUR FIRED! I can’t wait
*You’re
But I share your sentiment.
More like fire up the electric chair.
Trump is definitely a traitor.
Trump a traitor? Nope, there is no proof, but you’ll always have Adam Schitt to make up lies about phone calls, or talking to whistleblowers to help them, and yeah no conflict of interest here?/?
@Jerica Jump Watson45 He also hates not being respected like his dictator friends.
SR M – Make things up? The transcript is out. If Trumpelthinskin is so innocent, why is he obstructing another equal branch of the government?
Trump is a traitor.
President Trump is a Patriot!
@SR M it is true. He loves the country. Sorry typo he loves the money.
How’s that? Komrade?
@SR M You must have a strange definition of “patriot”.
He appears to be an America-hating treasonous con man.
WHEN IT UKRAINES,,, IT POURS 😀
Impeach and incarcerate the dotard NOW america 🇺🇸 make us great again
@Saltponds239
IMPEACH THE MOTHER FKER 😀
Honorable congresswoman rashida MI
@Sheik Yo Booty For another year then out the door she goes. 3 impeachment votes have failed, I guess the 4th time may be a charm? Not
@Saltponds239
NEVER FORGET THE DEAD CHILDREN IN CAGES MOFO ❗
Build walls around redstate GOP racists and TRAITORS😀 make America great again
The U.S needs to DUMP TRUMP ASAP.
Saltponds239, will you cult members be leaving America when Donald the pedophile goes? I only ask because apart from the giant man-baby you all hate everything America is.
Alan Crane Think of them as myna birds. They don’t know what the words mean they just repeat what they hear.
Why does the man who has “nothing to hide” jump through so many hoops to hide so much?
Because. He. A. Dead. Spirit 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔
@Camryn Gibson – he is a demon. If you paid attention to what HE says, does & tweets, and fact checked him, you’d KNOW, he is just a pathological lying grifter who’s played on people’s legitimate resentments.
Time to get rid of the #fakepotus. After all, “it” was voted in by the Russians, not us Americans. #traitortrump
@Ken Bugbee = Patsy. Sad.
@Lite Holdon reality
@Ken Bugbee It has been found connected with the mess of we have today with Ukraine. It never stopped.
The greatest threat and enemy to the mighty United States of America is the tallest Oompa Loompa to ever escape the chocolate factory…
How far we have fallen.
Philip Lau that is spot on😂😂😂😂😂
It has come to a pretty pass when the most untrustworthy person in USA is the president.
Why is that?
If he has NOTHING to hide, than why the secrets, about EVERYTHING????
Trump published everything that matters. If I can read his conversation with Ukrainian president, and i’m net even American, then there is no excuse for any American not to read it for himself (herself). And when one read conversation between Trump and Ukrainians, there is no other option but to laugh in face of any stupid democrat propagandist.
@D M You are delusional.
@Steelmage99
I’m not. Your Shifty Schiff can’t even quote conversation to accuse Trump, he have to invent it. That is so pathetic.
@D M Absolutely delusional. Trump is a traitorous con man…..and you know it.
You just aren’t willing to admit to your bias. It’s OK. You got conned, but you can learn.
Had a Democrat done half the things Trump has done, you would have been screaming for impeachment or worse. Don’t even try to deny it.
The government needs time to doctor all the documents. That is cridtalclear.
Secretary-for State Hillary Clinton did not hide from Congress. She appeared under oath and answered all questions. Why is Pompeo hiding from congressional oversight?
He’s a criminal thug.
The Republicans are two-faced hypocrites. That’s why. They only use our Constitution if it suits their political party’s interests.
PEOPLE WHO WOULD TRY TO INTIMIDATE WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE THE TRUE TRAITORS.
@Ken Bugbee I agree 100%, trumps obviously a Russian spy and needs to be dealt with as such. I’m glad these patriots are coming forward to protect the constitutional freedoms of America.
@Ken Bugbee A whistle blower following the rules for whistle blowers are not spies.
You are being dishonest or ignorant.
@Steelmage99
A spy is a spy by
any name .
@Ken Bugbee No, that is not the case here.
A spy’s sole purpose is to obtain secret information and bring it to their employer.
A whistle blower is an employee doing his everyday job who, upon gaining pertinent and important information, realises that his employer is actually committing crimes – and subsequently contact the proper authorities, through proper channels, while being protected by the law.
You are simply desperately reaching and pathetically spinning…..just like the Trump administration.
When special security measures are required to keep American citizen(s)
safe from the president you’ve got to do something NOW
The president doesn’t joke. He has zero sense of humor. And any “joke” he makes is always tinged with cruelty.
36 likes for your stupid comment. I’m in
Yes that is why I dont believe the Christians cant see that cruelty is a definite sign this is a fraud
@Rob Thompson ur in what?
It’s like his ability to be self congratulatory!!!!!also self deprecation….he doesn’t get at all!!!
