Jesse Isinger

It's the longest sentence, I believe, for anyone who did not leak classified information. Yes, he did break the law, and it's up to society to punish people who break the law, but understanding what he did and how that was a public service is very important. We used his information to publish many, many stories in the public interest.

So I think what he did was a huge service to the American public to reveal things that would not have been revealed otherwise. He took great risk and now is going to pay an enormous price.

Not when he was arrested, but when it first hit the public as arraignment or something like that. We never knew who it was before that. And had you wondered about who he was? Oh, of course. What had you thought when you wondered? Well, I wondered, am I ever going to know? And if I do, can that circumstance be anything but terrible news?

Yeah, it wasn't surprising. Relatively young, someone who had principles, I mean, I'm taking what they've attested to under the threat of perjury as true, and it rings true, what little John and his lawyers have said, which is he didn't profit from it, he didn't sell the information, and he was motivated by the desire to do a public service. And I think he did do a public service.

Well, so you talk about these billionaires saying that they're victims of this. And... At the beginning, a couple of them felt like they had to respond to our questions about this and have some justification for how they avoided taxes or what they did, their techniques. And by the end, you know, we did about 50 stories. By the end, we were almost entirely blown off.

So we would send our 50 questions to the subject of a story and hear nothing back. No response. And the reason I ended up concluding was that they feel they're untouchable in American society and they're right. we didn't touch them at all. We exposed the greatest injustice about American inequality in decades, and nothing happened.

This is a policy. People really want billionaires to pay more taxes. It polls very well with Republicans, even. But billionaires have disproportionate power in this country, and they have a lot more power than the 70% of people who want them to be taxed more. I mean, you know, they wield extraordinary amount of influence and power in society. And so they can bend public policy to their will.
