For Former Trump Officials, Better Late Than Never? | MTP Daily | MSNBC This video from MSNBC's MTP Daily aired on February 13, 2020, and discusses the actions and words of former Trump officials who have spoken out after leaving the administration. The host reflects on the old adage "better late than never," questioning whether late revelations are truly better when they come after significant events have already unfolded. In a notable speech, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly shares his harsh critiques of President Trump's handling of various issues, including his policies on North Korea, illegal immigration, Ukraine, and more. This discourse raises important questions about the integrity and duty of officials who, while in office, chose not to voice their dissent but later aired their grievances when they had less to risk. Key points from the video include:

• Kelly's insights are the most explicit yet regarding Trump's controversial behaviors.
• Comparisons are drawn between Kelly and other former officials like John Bolton and Michael Cohen, who also waited until they were out of the administration before expressing their criticisms.
• The discussion touches on motivations for silence during their tenure—many believed they could manage Trump's worst instincts.
• There’s a reflection on whether those who hesitated to speak out would do differently if given another chance.

The dialogue prompts viewers to consider both the ethical implications of such silence and the responsibility of current officials. Feel free to share your thoughts on whether you think former officials should be held accountable for their past silence or if it’s enough that they’ve since spoken out.
