anybody. >> this all gets back to the charges, trial and intervention by president trump of the former s.e.a.l. team commander. he was acquitted on a single war crimes. he responded this way, my first reaction to seeing the video was surprise and disgust they could make up plate ant lies about me, but i quickly realized that they were scared that the truth would come out of how cowardly they acted on deployment. i felt sorry for them that they thought it necessary to smear my name but never realized what the consequences of their lies would be. as upset as i was, the videos also gave me confidence because i knew that their lies would never hold up under real questioning and the jury would see through it. their lies and "ncis"'s refusal to ask hard questions or corroborate their stories strengthened my resolve.
