And he stopped at the top of the stairs going into the basement in my office. And he looked down and looked up at me and said, nah, we don't need it. He went back and put it back on the shelf.

I mean, they just ransacked the house. Meanwhile, they're ransacking my office and my car looking for evidence. I knew in that moment that I was behind several eight balls and I knew that I would probably get charged. I knew that. I interviewed twice more. The last interview was in April of 2008. I was placed on administrative leave in November 2007. The last interview was in April.

It was a setup. They brought in the chief prosecutor. It was the first time I met the chief prosecutor at the time. It was a different one later. But the chief prosecutor said, we have more than enough evidence, just short. He confronted me. He said, we have in a windowless room in an FBI facility outside of D.C., Right, it was the windowless room right behind where the mole hunters were.

I'm no kidding. He said, we have more than enough evidence to put you away for a long, long time. You better start talking now. Because he said, how would you like to spend the rest of your life in prison? And you can imagine, I'm sitting there. We might be able to, you know, 25 years, 20 years, no guarantees. That's better than life in prison.

In 2008, I had just turned, oh, I hadn't quite turned yet. I was 52, right? I knew I could no longer continue having any, said, nope, you're going to have to deal with an attorney from now on.

Got an attorney, criminal defense attorney. They tried to get me to plead out multiple times between April of 2008, the first time, confronted by the chief prosecutor, and April of 2010. Now we're in a new administration. I wasn't indicted. Obama. Obama. Bush, it's important to note, even though it began under Bush, I was not indicted under Bush. They had a draft indictment. I have a copy of that.
