Daniel Ellsberg: ‘Obama Would Have Indicted Me & Sought A Life Sentence For Me" Last edited Fri Aug 30, 2013, 12:45 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2) Daniel Ellsberg: ‘Obama Would Have Indicted Me’ But we come back to Obama. I think Obama’s interpretation is no, these are criminals… and he has decided to do what no previous president did ... which is to say prosecuted multiple whistle-blowers under the Espionage Act. He has brought seven indictments. ... Before him there were three presidents who each brought one … It’s an unprecedented campaign against whistle-blowing. And is in a chain of command where she heard her commander in chief say was guilty before he was even on trial. But I think he believes that, definitely. I have no question at all that Obama would not only have indicted me for the Pentagon Papers now ... even if it was before him, and I have no doubt that he would have sought a life sentence for me and believed I deserved it.
