Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson simply and clearly said what many people are thinking. To be honest, this is what I was thinking as I read James Comey's written testimony.
Is the gentlemen in question refreshing because he bluntly-speaks his mind, or, is it because his contentions concerning Trump et al fundamentally resembles your own? Or both? Don't answer that if you don't want to - I meant no disrespect apropos attempting to put you on the spot like a petty smartass might, but I'm genuinely curious. For what it's worth, I couldn't agree with him more, and I've been attempting for some time now to convince my staunchly-conservative family members that Trump is not who they seem to think he is (i.e: an Evangelical Christian's best friend in D.C.), good day :-)
@ Sam Burns Your question is legitimate. I would say both. Its very trying listening to people talking in circles and fables. People are afraid to speak the truth about many things, which is unethical and deceitful. Show your true colors even though people disagree with you. Honesty is the best policy, this is what I believe in. Because the truth usually comes out in the dark, sooner or later anyway.
ElusvOptmst1 : Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson is very frank.He teaches and you can find his talks on #TH-cam, and on #DemocracyNow. He would testify against #DickCheney “ to my own detriment “. Find that on DemocracyNow. He’s also frequently on #TheRealNews. I can’t be sure re. his quote about #AlanDulles, however I recommend an excellent book about the Dulles brothers titled, #TheDevilsChessboard, by David Talbot. 📚 #Bernie2020❤️
Sam Burns : I suggest that you and they together watch #WayneBarrett in conversation with both Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez on DemocracyNow, ( they have everything beautifully archived ), circa June 30 and July 4, 2016. #Barrett has since died, however he knew #DonaldTrump in the 1970’s, and covered him throughout the 70’s and 1980’s. Prepare to take notes-I cannot guarantee that anything will change their minds, but they will understand why the FBI, etcetera use pins, photos and colored string! #RobertCayJohnston is a Republican who also gives a good presentation of his own book on Trump, and to whom I speculate Barrett ceded his enormous collection of files on Trump. Johnston is available on #TH-cam. ~GoodLuck! #Bernie2020
This poor guy looks exhausted, love how direct he is though. Concise and strong answers. Pity that being well spoken has become so rare that it feels like a gem.
Needs to go viral. Seems like a wonderful use of our Right to Free Speech to tell absolutely everyone about Col Wilkerson, Rep Lieu, Robert Reich's Resistance Reports and other quality Americans taking on the critical work of accurate, complete information for the People.
Me too! We need to say this to our reps. Calls, online petitions, letters, e mails, town halls...With this, healthcare and tax cuts for the 1%, we need to overwhelm Congress with our presence, stance and civilized, civic action.
You realize that legitimately trying to do that without REAL cause would basically devolve into actually violent civil war. You realize that I assume yes? And being honest, nothing to do with Russia gets put into the "REAL" category for republican voters, that's just not ganna fly.
No they really aren't. Legitimate and real = tangible proof that Russia funneled money to Donald Trump for favors. Nothing less for the most part. You may live in a different world but that is the reality and if you try overthrowing him without that you will be starting a civil war.
He is showing the world exactly how he ran business's, without regard for the law, international boundaries nor international law. This is why he shows such disregard for leaders of nations we have been allies with for decades but in his world they are simply in the way while he allies himself with Russia and any other leader who will fawn over him and treat him 'nice' which is his interpretation of respect and honesty. It still stands look into his finances and the history of international crime and thuggery.
Wookie Groomer Exactly! How did this clown get this job WITH ZERO experience. Even a fast food worker needs a basic understanding of the job. Trump has none. Why is he still there?!?
Daniel Tate not my case. despite that story of the Primary diviving out of debate questions i'd still have voted for HRC. if more investigation into that then id might have switched to Bernie.
That would make me think your under 35 no offense. Most know shes as corrupt as they come but thats not what done her in, the coughing fits and collapse at 911 memorial ruined her completely
Daniel Tate - That would make me think you are under 21. Coughing fits make one unfit for a job? Don't ever have a day off due to sickness... I am watching.
@Zoran Cosic. Now the Biden family is being exposed with his son. The media is just about covering it. CNN is going under. Tell me Zoran Were you one of those who voted for Biden. If so I would like to know what you think of this administration and JB himself because he s not all compus mentus poor guy for me your country is being ruined.
Remember when Trump told the senators working on the health care bill that they better vote to pass it or they'll be sorry. It didn't pass and I'm sure they were thinking it was like a mafia threat.
(R) stands for Russia..... 45's party. They are spineless power mongers who repeatedly choose party over country. They ought to be removed as 45 ought to be.
C'mon, it is not no experience and it is not no knowledge. It is a 70 years old man who has never developed a moral compass, and got away from his wrongdoings. Please don't excuse this liar for his indefensible behaviors/words/tweets, and corruption. He is old enough to know between black and white.
We should certainly heed Colonel Wilkerson and feel very grateful for his personal sacrifice which has doubtlessly been the cost of going public with his knowledge of the inner workings of the American empire. He is one of a very small group that I think are really worth heeding. One aspect of his testimonial that I find most striking however is the confession that an insider can be so knowledgeable and well positioned and yet still no be privy to the full picture.
it is not the corruption I like so ...... waaaaa Waaaaa. get a legit argument against Trump and kick him out. it seems like it is more a show than an impeachment
You shouldn't be afraid to give your opinion to those around you. Leadership and friendship is about listening to the people around you and having people who are willing to tell you the truth. This is what we have not seen in Trump.
Forget Impeachment, The Electoral College is also in place to head off just this type of chaos. My word, four months and a few and this is where we're at. This is really a sad state of affairs we have going on. I'm not saying something is wrong, just saying that it hard to locate the right in all of this.
Chris Hayes loses his composure like a little child when Lawrence Wilkerson makes a significant statement about the the seriousness of a Trump Presidency. Hayes obviously is too irrespomsible to interview the likes of Mr Wilkerson. Chris Hayes needs to be fires ASAP.
Wilkerson, if I recall correctly, is the guy who thinks Gitmo is the product of cowards, and that suspects should be tried or released and if necessary faced again in combat, but not simply held without process. To me (and I have no military experience) that entitles him to an opinion and a public hearing on topics around national security, since he has been on the front line.
As if it should make a difference? Welcome, the Kremlin Mob is setting its boundaries and confederating all Authority for the Holy Russian Roman Empire, by the Order of the KGB and Vicar Pope Putin, all Hail Donald Trump, the New Kremlin Mafioso Stool Pigeon of the Western Republic Hemisphere of the KKK in White Superiority. The Main Man, answer to Him?
MSNBC - please correct your sub banner. Comey did not say "Honest loyalty." He said "Honesty." And then Trump replied with "that's what I want. Honest loyalty."
heck, you or I, the common American applies for a decent govt job we need to have a background check, drug tests, attest to not having any court cases or federal cases, and a million other things. it's for a job which won't pay more than $25k. why don't we apply the same rule to President? After all its the most important job on earth.
amen Please catch all the persons that are trying to out smart the whole dirty mess. May God send his angels to surround these meetings. i have faith in the media and all our elected politians.
wonder if this fella had anything to do with the presentation to congress of the wmd trucks in iraq, a massive lie that directly led to war. Just saying
Please, Trump is a corrupt, inept, spoiled, lying narcissistic, moron. What does he have to do to get impeached?...bankrupt the whole country, or start a nuclear war?...He needs to be tossed out and locked up, so this country can start trying to repair all the damage that's already been done by the likes of him, and the corrupted Republican congress over the past few decades!!!
This guy is 100% spot on. Love the way he pulls no punches.
Yeah, not bad for a two bit serpent septic maggot, huh
Those Russian insults do not translate well into English.
Thanks...
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson simply and clearly said what many people are thinking. To be honest, this is what I was thinking as I read James Comey's written testimony.
This gentleman is refreshing! He bluntly speaks his mind. Bravo to him.
Is the gentlemen in question refreshing because he bluntly-speaks his mind, or, is it because his contentions concerning Trump et al fundamentally resembles your own? Or both?

Col Wilkerson, Rep Lieu, Robert Reich's Resistance Reports and other quality Americans taking on the critical
work of accurate, complete information for the People.
There are many conservatives like Colonel Wilkerson who feel the same way about trump.
About impeachment...."I think it's healthy for the country to take that action" I agreee!
Me too! We need to say this to our reps. Calls, online petitions, letters, e mails, town halls...With this, healthcare and tax cuts for the 1%, we need to overwhelm Congress with our presence, stance and civilized, civic action.
You realize that legitimately trying to do that without REAL cause would basically devolve into actually violent civil war. You realize that I assume yes? And being honest, nothing to do with Russia gets put into the "REAL" category for republican voters, that's just not ganna fly.
Legitimate and REAL causes are obvious and increasing by the moment.
No they really aren't. Legitimate and real = tangible proof that Russia funneled money to Donald Trump for favors. Nothing less for the most part. You may live in a different world but that is the reality and if you try overthrowing him without that you will be starting a civil war.
"Like a mafia family" ? IT IS a MAFIA FAMILY !!!!
I take issue with President Trump's characterization as some sort of "godfather." Don Corleone is competent.
Duya Taksis I agree, comparing Trump to a mafia godfather is an insult to mafia godfathers everywhere. SAD and WRONG
fully agreed. Remember when Trump said "If I want someone deleted it will happen...Believe me" Not a smart move
Duya Taksis ...Trump has been mobbed up his entire life!
Duya Taksis The DonDon
...more like Don the Doofus
Wow! Wilkerson NAILS IT! Bullseye!
He is showing the world exactly how he ran business's, without regard for the law, international boundaries nor international law. This is why he shows such disregard for leaders of nations we have been allies with for decades but in his world they are simply in the way while he allies himself with Russia and any other leader who will fawn over him and treat him 'nice' which is his interpretation of respect and honesty. It still stands look into his finances and the history of international crime and thuggery.
Six Chapter 11 Bankruptcies in a span of, what, ~25 years? #Winning
I agree that impeachment would be the right thing to do, send a message to the bums, we are not going to take it anymore.
Impeachment is not enough, Trump should be imprisoned!
He'd make some inmate a lovely wife;he could not wear white though, that would be pushing it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. Pence is just as dangerous, perhaps moreso.
Don isn't just short for Donald.
Ignorance is not an excuse. Either you are qualified for the job you applied for or you get fired.
Wookie Groomer Exactly! How did this clown get this job WITH ZERO experience. Even a fast food worker needs a basic understanding of the job. Trump has none. Why is he still there?!?
K D Because nobody stood up against the dnc corruption therefore HRC was his opponent
Daniel Tate
not my case. despite that story of the Primary diviving out of debate questions i'd still have voted for HRC. if more investigation into that then id might have switched to Bernie.
That would make me think your under 35 no offense. Most know shes as corrupt as they come but thats not what done her in, the coughing fits and collapse at 911 memorial ruined her completely

have Wilkerson on way more please, thank you
great video
Bravo Colonel Wilkerson .
love Lawrence, so lucky to have worked for Colin.
Bravo, Col. Wilkerson!
Colonel Wilkerson thank you for telling us truth!
@Zoran Cosic. Now the Biden family is being exposed with his son. The media is just about covering it. CNN is going under.
Tell me Zoran Were you one of those who voted for Biden. If so I would like to know what you think of this administration and JB himself because he s not all compus mentus poor guy for me your country is being ruined.
This guy hits the nail right on the head.The problem with America is that it has become too influenced by the Mafia.
everyone will be distancing themselves from trump now.
Except for poor Chris Christie. The Jersey Butterball just can't seem to catch a break.
He hit it outta the park with the mafia statement.
I like this guy
Mueller is slowly but surely peeling that Onion away...Trump is shaking in his boots!
We are definitely overdue for a Impeachment.every generation should experience one.
Now this is a sensible level minded Republican. Why aren't there more like him. Instead of nuts like Newt Tyan and other dip sticks
They need to be taken down.
Remember when Trump told the senators working on the health care bill that they better vote to pass it or they'll be sorry. It didn't pass and I'm sure they were thinking it was like a mafia threat.
They all need a mental health exam before being in government...they do it for military and they should do it for politicians and Presidents
(R) stands for Russia..... 45's party. They are spineless power mongers who repeatedly choose party over country. They ought to be removed as 45 ought to be.
Lawrence Wilkerson always makes me feel better, and gives me hope.
Lol, preach on Colonel! What a great American!
Confirms what I've been saying for weeks, there's a crime family in the WhiteHouse.
yep you said it right there man
I take this time to say Col. Wilkerson ( since you brought it up ) that I never believed the Bush clowns on WMD , but I believed your General .
C'mon, it is not no experience and it is not no knowledge. It is a 70 years old man who has never developed a moral compass, and got away from his wrongdoings. Please don't excuse this liar for his indefensible behaviors/words/tweets, and corruption. He is old enough to know between black and white.
Someone please take Don Cheeto fishing, And let him say one hail Mary...
If I take Trump fishing, he will be the bait!
I couldn't have said better myself. ANOTHER GREAT MAN
This business of trump a poor little greenhorn, please!!!
We should certainly heed Colonel Wilkerson and feel very grateful for his personal sacrifice which has doubtlessly been the cost of going public with his knowledge of the inner workings of the American empire.

Tell it brother!!
it is not the corruption I like so ...... waaaaa Waaaaa. get a legit argument against Trump and kick him out. it seems like it is more a show than an impeachment
Cut him some slack? He's a life long con man for gods sake.
That is a good description of Trump and his goonies...Mafia family
It's good to hear from Wilkerson again. He was one of the sane heads in the Bush administration.
The audio needs a lot of attention!
And here we are 2 years later!!!
I AGREE!
Never go against the family
very well put! the country has the system to rectify the mistake, so use it! do your duty!
this is the only guy worthy of some respect in the bush admin.
The guy is a MAFFIOSO, just listen to the way he talks and acts.
You shouldn't be afraid to give your opinion to those around you. Leadership and friendship is about listening to the people around you and having people who are willing to tell you the truth. This is what we have not seen in Trump.
usa is a sick society with massive crime and no human rights
"doing dat little' thing'
dey calls a ' thing'
Forget Impeachment, The Electoral College is also in place to head off just this type of chaos. My word, four months and a few and this is where we're at. This is really a sad state of affairs we have going on. I'm not saying something is wrong, just saying that it hard to locate the right in all of this.

No surprise about this.
hay lady
Sally Yates would've been an awesome 'shield'! That's why Trump didn't like her, she did her job and abided by the law!
Wilkerson, if I recall correctly, is the guy who thinks Gitmo is the product of cowards, and that suspects should be tried or released and if necessary faced again in combat, but not simply held without process. To me (and I have no military experience) that entitles him to an opinion and a public hearing on topics around national security, since he has been on the front line.

The Main Man, answer to Him?
MSNBC - please correct your sub banner. Comey did not say "Honest loyalty." He said "Honesty." And then Trump replied with "that's what I want. Honest loyalty."
So you have to some experience to become sever or a mechanic but not the President. That's comforting and makes a lot of sense. 😶
THE MARINE INFRONT OF WHITE HOUSE MUST GIVE HIM HONOR EACH DAY...
Go to work and you will be safe
62,979,636 votes....we are doomed.
no more Us checks to the Trump family
heck, you or I, the common American applies for a decent govt job we need to have a background check, drug tests, attest to not having any court cases or federal cases, and a million other things. it's for a job which won't pay more than $25k.
why don't we apply the same rule to President? After all its the most important job on earth.
I feel sorry for Mike Pence
he seemed to be a good men
wath he got hem selve in to it
poor guy..
amen Please catch all the persons that are trying to out smart the whole dirty mess. May God send his angels to surround these meetings. i have faith in the media and all our elected politians.
Just look at Session's Kermit face. Is there any hint of bravery there?
Trump went to Washington to change it, not adapt to it or learn it's protocols.
I guess you cant improve something if you have no idea how it works to begin with.
RICO ACT August 2023 😮
Trump as Godfather? Then the Corleone Family wouldnt have lasted until the last movie..
The White House, home of the Trump family business.
it's pronounced quit-R. Not 'cutter'... depending on your dialect, sir. I'm only a knight
Pompeo is the godfather
Gambino Trump!
We are living in the era of the Trump Mafia Family!
Trump to Comey: "Stop the Russian Investigation or I'm gonna whack you!"
Mafia Don?
This guy kinda looks like Mike from breaking bad...
SIDE BAR: NEW SAT WORDS THAT WE CAN ALL DRAW FROM THE TRUMP DEBACLE:
1 - DROCONIAN
2- NAPHARIOUS
3- THERE - THERE
It is easy to see where the leftist view came into the Bush admin towards the end
Too bad TRUMP is NOW doing what this good man couldn't -- STOP THE WARS IN THE ME!!
Sessions is a coward hobbit.. with the ears to match it.. though that's a compliment. insulting the other hobbits.
INEXPERIENCED and ADHD he can't concentrate Properly
Trump is a wannabe Don.
wonder if this fella had anything to do with the presentation to congress of the wmd trucks in iraq, a massive lie that directly led to war.
Just saying
Daniel Tate where's the investigation into the false WMD Yellow Cake stories the govt told and the liberal media sold?
He said that himself in the interview, I think, he prepared Colin Powell for that briefing, knowing that it was likely bogus.
Haha I love Trump. This guy is so biased
Please, Trump is a corrupt, inept, spoiled, lying narcissistic, moron. What does he have to do to get impeached?...bankrupt the whole country, or start a nuclear war?...He needs to be tossed out and locked up, so this country can start trying to repair all the damage that's already been done by the likes of him, and the corrupted Republican congress over the past few decades!!!
don "hairdoo" trumpilione.
