The firefighters in New York deserve better than this, Patrick.
I don't want to speculate. I think it'll become, it already is the biggest nightmare in the history of the country.
He stole five documents.
I can't prove that.
He stuffed them in his underwear and socks. He stole five documents. He got outside. The inspector general for the archives called him, and he lied. That's a felony. He committed 11 felonies. One of Clinton's lawyers cut a deal. The deal was he pled guilty to 11 felonies. I'm the only person that got into the archives after that, in August of 06, before they took me out.
I said, I want to see what we think Berger stole. Part of it was the Millennium After Action Report by John Ashcroft, which you can get. We don't know exactly what Berger stole, but he didn't want the 9-11 Commission to be able to include what he had. It may have been able danger. We don't know. But the fact is, and I said this on the House floor, Sandy Berger was a traitor.
If you stole one archive, you'd be in jail. His sentence was 11 felonies, and he gets one misdemeanor. No jail time. One misdemeanor. And it was pre-9-11 intelligence. That's what Tony's referring to.
That's not true. I was there. I went to the archives. And the CIA told my staff, tell your boss not to be very careful what he's looking at. And I told him, the CIA doesn't control what I look at. I'm a member of Congress.
I want to give you one more kudo for this team. I still don't have the five, by the way. I want to know the five speculations. Eric and Tony will both verify this. Scott Philpott came to my office on 9-11. He got very emotional. This is an academy graduate in Newell Academy. And he said, Congressman, this is not the F in America I swore to uphold and defend. He was very emotional.
He said we also could have prevented the attack on the USS Cole. You want to talk about that, Eric?
18 sailors.
And I feel the same way about the Downey family. These things have got to stop. This is no longer America when this happens. And Donald Trump can do it by putting in place a commission of independent people to do what he says he's going to do. And I support that, and I support him. Name an independent commission. Put you on the commission. You have integrity.
Or another government cooperated with our government.
I don't think we should limit it to any one country.
I wouldn't add any other country because I don't have the facts. But, I mean, any person with a brain could figure out there would be other countries that would have a motive to want to see this occur.
I don't want to speculate.
Well, I was a very big supporter of when George Bush went up to the Trade Center. I was there at 9-11, and he put his hand up in the air. I was there with him, with the firefighters. And he said, we're going to get you. We're going to come find you. I figured that it must have been bin Laden in Afghanistan. So I got all fired up and said, I'm with you, Mr. President, all the way.
I was concerned about our troops being harassed in Afghanistan the way the Russian troops were. I took two other members of Congress and went with Al Santoli, a decorated Vietnam veteran, New York Times bestseller, with intelligence ties. We went to Rome, and we met with King Zahir Shah in exile without U.S. government approval. We went to his family's home.
And we convinced, I have the photos, King Zahir Shah to go back to Afghanistan and convene a lawyer, Jorga, of all the tribes to accept the American troops when they came in so our troops would be protected. I took every step I could to protect the American troops.
Then I like doing my job in the Congress because I couldn't trust the intel being provided by the CIA as the vice chairman of the Defense Committee on Homeland Security. They would spin the data. I would get better information from defense reporters like Bill Gertz than I would from the agency. So I had my own intel team. These are people that work for the agencies.
