00:00Thanks for coming.
00:02Let me start by saying what I'm about to tell you was no one's first choice.
00:05Strong start.
00:06Well, the decision was made at the top of the food chain.
00:09The entire intelligence community and Justice Department agencies came together to evaluate the intel
00:13and the national security repercussions of it being released into the world.
00:17What intel?
00:18I can't tell you, only that it is beyond top secret national intelligence, including sources and methods.
00:23Okay, I'm sorry, am I the only one who's deeply confused right now?
00:26No.
00:27Simply put, the U.S. government has been leveraged using secrets stolen from what we thought was a secure NSA facility here in Los Angeles.
00:34Leveraged by who?
00:36Wait.
00:37No.
00:38Yes.
00:39Now, given the risk to national security, if these secrets were to be released, we had no choice but to make an immunity deal.
00:44Now, believe me, I pointed out all the ways that this could backfire, but I was overruled.
00:49An immunity deal with who?
00:56Monica?
00:58Miss me?
