The Pentagon leaks

What if we told you that a 21-year-old airman was responsible for leaking sensitive national security information over a gaming discord chat? Well, this nightmare has become a reality for the Pentagon, as the leaks have created several interesting headlines regarding the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. Direct Impact's Rick Sanchez examines the leaks and takes us down memory lane to some of the early whistleblower cases like Daniel Ellsberg's famous Pentagon Files. However, is this a whistleblower situation? Or is this a case of the negligent mismanagement of sensitive national security information? Who would know better than Whistleblowers host John Kiriakou, who knows a thing or two about whistleblowing? John gives expert insight into this case and the potential ramifications of releasing such details.
