Woke up one day and said im going to echo my own and start budging and falsifying the affidavit in front of the federal judge. that process, having known about it and participating in it is thoroughly -- theres a review process. theres a vetting process. this is one of the most carefully orchestrated warrants that the u.s. government gets. you dont make mistakes. >> since the timing of this happens in the middle of the impeachment inquiry. the inquiry itself shifts from the committee of intellig...

He was alleged to have killed three afghan -- im sorry -- another prisoner that was in detention, a taliban prisoner, excuse me. anyway, he had never gone through court martial, and the president pardoned him. now the army is going through a similar review process to see if he can keep the silver star that he won in that engagement as well as his ranger tab, which is a very similar thing to a trident pin. its a warfare designation inside the army. so the army is watching this navy case very clos...

The wrong message. >> what message does that send to the troops? >> what message does it send. >> that you can get away with things. we have to have good order and discipline. its the backbone of what we do. the review process with the senior enlisted reviewing fellow senior enlisted is critical. our military are the backbone. they are the good order and discipline. they can handle this. >> for now it looks like hes set it retire and will remain a seal. we have more from the pentagon. >> reporte...

Going to end here. >> no, i dont think it will because, look, i mean not just for the s.e.a.l.s because weve got three others that have to go through this process, we think. but look at the army, laura. he pardoned major goldstein, another one of these individuals who was going through a court martial, hadnt even been through trial yet. his case had not even been heard by a jury. he was alleged to have killed three afghan -- im sorry -- another prisoner that was in detention, a taliban prisoner,...

Who have also been held to account. as a matter of fact, three of those s.e.a.l.s were with chief gallagher going through this administrative review process to see if they could keep their trident pin. so now those three cases are kind of thrown up in the air because the president has weighed in and said that gallagher can keep his pin. so now the navy is left to figure out what theyre going to do with these other three? >> so whats the deal with the pin? i keep hearing about the trident. help u...

Justice. there were other s.e.a.l.s, as the lawyer just said who also were posed in that picture and who have also been held to account. as a matter of fact, three of those s.e.a.l.s were with chief gallagher going through this administrative review process to see if they could keep their trident pin. so now those three cases are kind of thrown up in the air because the president has weighed in and said that gallagher can keep his pin. so now the navy is left to figure out what theyre going to d...

Engaging with him. they are continuing to say that he is guilty of war crimes, despite this process playing out. in this country, if you are found not guilty, especially if youve gone over to fight for us, you shouldnt continue to be charged as guilty by brass who happen to work in the pentagon. >> steve: no, but the whole reason there is this controversy is the president pardoning him on being found guilty. >> katie: of the pentagon continues to push and say this man is guilty of war crimes whe...

Efforts to try to keep trump from intervening in the process blew up. he was trying to find some way to do two things at once, somehow do what the president wanted with gallagher but maintain the review process. in the end, it didnt work. spencer was fired, trump ordered this review process scuttled, so its gone. i think there are really bruised feelings. the s.e.a.l.s are one of the prizes this country has and i talk to people in this community regularly, theyre really feeling upset that the co...

Navy would not be taking away his trident pen. over the weekend the secretary was said to be thinking about re-signing over this whole thing. by sunday night he was forced to re-sign. the defense secretary said he had just learned that spencer was trying to workout a deal with the white house. let the review proceed. let it go through and he made sure that gallagher would retire as a navy s.e.a.l. on cbs news this evening spencer was asked about the presidents involvement in this case. >> what w...

And were left with a story you really have to put your brain into contortions to understand. >> and if i could just add, theres three other sailors, three other s.e.a.l.s going through this same review process for the same offense. posing with the war dead, which is a potential war crime. theyre going through the same review process. now what does the navy do about them? what are they going to do about the other three s.e.a.l.s? >> its a big mess. >> we can see how this is affecting you as a nav...
