Tom Drake -- Full Interview

Thomas Drake is a former senior official of the National Security Agency (NSA) whom the Justice Department prosecuted under the Espionage Act. In June 2011, the case against him collapsed, but he endured four years of investigation and faced 10 felony counts after he used internal mechanisms to disclose serious wrongdoing concerning a data collection program called "Trailblazer." That program was costly, wasteful and ineffective; it threatened Americans' privacy rights, and was wholly undeveloped -- despite the availability of a cost-effective, functional alternative that protected Americans' privacy. Ultimately, the Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped all felony counts against him, and the judge excoriated DOJ lawyers for their conduct. Drake is the recipient of the 2011 Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling, regarded in the U.S. as the highest honor that a whistleblower can receive.

Thank you for your service 🙏

[@Zeemike1]

You kept your oath to defend and protec the constitution...that makes you a patriot. And I commend you for your courage.

[@slobodanhorvaarten9246]

Drake is a real whistleblower. He is not disloyal to America. He wants to protect the Constitution.

[@zach87100]

Thomas Drake is a hero of this country, I hope through his courage more government employees come forward with this kind of information and stop this oppressive government from completely destroying our once great nation.

[@no2nsa]

Thomas Drake Is our Hero :)

I have never heard of GAP; but after seeing this video, I went on line and made a monthly contribution to support people such as tom drake!

[@aya3769]

we have to accept that we live in a totally corrupt system everywhere. Hail to this hero who did not believe this but what a price to pay. Is it worth our admiration and our love ?

[@theaubad1006]

Annie hi. Actually theres a real Devil. Jesus Christ warned us.

[@MiceliCreations]

We will NEVER accept that. NEVER. Our President is fighting that fight for us daily. Support him and support the American people. Those who did this are going to pay a very hefty price.

[@honawikeepa5813]

God bless and protect him. Cheers from Aotearoa NZ.

[@spacelady4458]

THANKS FOR BEING A TRUE PATRIOT MR DRAKE!

[@wenbudro7597]

Thank you, Mr. Drake.

[@montydaniels1054]

I've always thought Thomas Drake was & is a great man. I wanted to watch some more video's with him speaking. The only thing I didn't like with this one was he was cut off from finishing what he had been talking about too many times. I would have thought GAP would have let him at least finish each sentence but other than that, I am so glad this was posted and is still up on KZbin. Thank you for uploading it for us Americans to watch....

[@merlepatterson]

If I were President Trump I would officially pardon this man and then ask him politely to take the reins of NSA. Along with Bill Binney and all the others who have been ostracized for being true patriots on behalf of "We The People" as proven by their own words and actions.

[@cutiedoggy475]

Merle Patterson but trump is most likely fine with this shit. He asked the senators to vote for the 702 crap.

[@merlepatterson]

Time will tell. Trump is a wildcard, in many aspects, when it comes to the deep state.

[@theaubad1006]

Merle hi. Unfortunately theres a very real Devil. So how do you stop that?

[@elik.webber7630]

True American hero ..

[@MiceliCreations]

Thomas Drake is a hero.

[@America-n2v]

This is really interesting. I didn't hear anything about this.

[@newbritainpauly4841]

Drake for Office 🇺🇲 Let's make the constitution great again !!!

[@andrewdomenitz2970]

Fighting this crime against humanity would be a full time job for millions of people and it just does not pay so it will not get done.

[@williamgage8037]

government is a proof that shit floats to the top

Not only did you remain free.......you kept your soul.

[@daguy5680]

It seems to sound like the day to day career workers/employees are doing their best to be honorable to our country, constitution, bill of rights, people/citizens but the new people that come in as political appointees seem to cause the majority of trouble. At least this is the perception I'm getting.

[@larrywilliams1725]

Da Guy I agree. Drake speaks for many at NSA. I’m saddened by the lack of support he got from elected officials and political appointees. Basically, I find them worthless.

[@gordonjreeves5651]

👏 THOMAS 👏 DRAKE 👏 ! BRAV-OOOOO ! 👏 A TRUE PATRIOT 👏

Frederic Bastiat wrote a book called "The Law", over 150 years ago which is more important than ever now. Everyone should read it, but won't.

[@stoneage5153]

Thomas Drake is an intelligent source. Don't let them smear him TRUTH, he might be gay.. to Psychopaths, that's only one more level on which to persecute the enemy!!!

[@svs8909]

how about eric holder

[@Orf]

6:20 how did supervisors react?

[@BulliesRock14]

[@spooky6832]

look what the government did to Edward Snowden... the government made an example of you to keep other people quiet.... thank you very much for what you have done for the people of the USA

Now if only The Bear had a cuisine. :)

[@eileennelson2275]

NSA went over to the Dark Side.

[@kingpest13]

I saw something where a middle eastern taxi driver said something about airplanes being vulnerable...being flying bombs and he said it about a year before 9/11. The info was out there, the NSA knew it was a distinct possibility but did nothing at all about the information. Why? Idk but with $3.6 BILLION DOLLARS you'd think they could spare a few agents to peel back some layers and see if there was anything sketchy going down. A million seconds is 11.5 days. A billion seconds is almost 32 years. So yeah, $3.6 billion per year.....that was 23 years ago, im sure its more now. Billionaires get juicy tax breaks every time Republicans get the Whitehouse.

[@jango5233]

Bist ein sehr cooler KZbinr!

[@Orf]

14:00 no record anywhere of what he gave congress?!?!?!

[@bernadettekennedy2981]

CIA and FBI helped orchestrate 9/11. NSA could not have stopped it.

[@cutiedoggy475]

Oh my god he became a targeted individual! I wonder why he doesn’t talk about tartgeted ppl. That’s the scariest thing I’ve ever heard of .

[@TreesPlease42]

The editing on this is pretty poor, doesn't do justice to Tom Drake's patriotism. Still, I'm appreciative of your sharing this interview and supporting him through his service as a whistleblower.

[@bluejihbed5022]

Just the fact of living in an alterd state as a whilsteblower should be penatly enough, and i truely feel its something the "public" should have a thought about. What happens 2 people who are not allowed 2 conform 2 the goverments and its system and what happens 2 them socially.

All these people and organizations that vindicated this Patriot should be doing the very same thing for President Donald J. Trump!

5:30 community service. Doing video interviews with veterans.

This is why Edward Snowden is where he is.

[@YahshuaLovesMe]

Like I always say, Subversion. 2013, I'm impressed! Is he still alive?

[@tomtoldan444]

Dude they did 911

[@Research0digo]

close, but no

[@cameronb6280]

Tom Drakeis my uncle. No one will believe me but I can tell you all of this: His wife's name is Karen, that's my aunt Karen. His 22 Year old child is named Zachery and is studying to be an environmentalist. My Aunt Karen work in the pentagon. He hates pictures so he always is making ridiculous faces in them. His father in law is named Anthony Catalano. And all of his other nieces and nephews are named Katie, Demi, Brice, Colin, Cameron, Alli, Reed, Ryne, Melody, Amy, Anthony, Dori, Carl, Kyle, and Kaitlyn.

[@raceprophet369]

Your uncle is a Patriot.......and perhaps your uncle is "Q"

[@YahshuaLovesMe]

some say, would like to know why that person calls himself Q which is a strange name for an honest person.

[@MoisesHernandez-sw5pt]

Why was it necessary to reveal family members name

[@DrDrew311]

No offense, this was just a very odd reply ...

[@Research0digo]

Karen doesn't work in the Pentagon. You're right, I don't believe you.

[@billmichae]

A traitor like Judas!

[@purpleviolet1]

Hmm

[@troygeorge7838]

I can't believe that the Obama administration was part of your persecution but I understand why you had thought things would be different under his presidency. About a third of Obama's 2008 campaign speech were mine. I too was in the government's terrorism program but I wasn't a government employee. I was a victim of a corrupt injustice system that had thrown away the law, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. They had tortured me to cover up government employee's felonies by committing even more felonies to try to get me to not tell anyone what they did. I hadn't even committed a crime. They had poisoned me and my mom while monitoring my apartment. The speech parts came out when I protested my treatment and loss of America to my cat, you do that when they isolate you. They were initially just mocking me with the speeches but I trapped them when "Meet the Press" started mocking Obama with a video of him leaving the stage. Yeah, Tim Russert had some secrets. You see, I believed those words and was hoping Obama would protect us, but we all found out that the deep state, feminists, and fake Jews owned him because they had supplied the speeches. He didn't seem to realize that I was freeing him from their bondage until his second term. I just hoped he would restore freedom to America. I had been poisoned so bad that I really couldn't do anything more than send out an occasional email and the only issue I really tried to defended was the right to bare arms, because I know what we Americans need to fear.
