On today's episode of FedItMan, we are talking about the 9/11 attacks and the man responsible for them, Osama Bin Laden. FeditMan is a former Homeland Security Special Agent in charge of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO).
00:15:36.660I went into detail on this, on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing with the attacks, excuse me, with the terrorists that were involved in this plot.
00:15:43.800World Trade Center, eight years earlier.
00:15:49.64026 Federal Plaza is not safe at this time.
00:15:52.960They didn't know if it was a target, if it was being targeted.
00:15:57.320We all had the same goal, and that is to get out.
00:16:01.040Everyone in the FBI office is immediately forced to abandon their desks, leaving behind computers, files, secure phone lines, virtually every tool they have to do their jobs.
00:16:42.460I'll tell y'all this, just from my personal experience and training, anytime there's a terrorist attack, the FBI starts stressing, yo, they already know what time it is.
00:16:54.820They're going to, you know, initiate the entire country pretty much to come in and help them run the investigation.
00:17:01.520So, anytime, guys, some type of attack like this happens, whether it's 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 9-11, the Boston Marathon bombing, anything like that where it's successful, bro, the Bureau is going to be stressed.
00:17:16.240Everybody's going to be stressed, to be honest, because even other agencies come in and start helping as well.
00:17:20.820You know, I told you guys about the Boston Marathon bombing.
00:17:23.860When that bombing happened, I was actually in Boston, guys, and what ended up happening was they had to, they used other agencies.
00:17:31.000I remember going into the command center, and I went with an agent when I was an intern, and we went ahead and got a lead and ran it down in, like, Somerville or something like that.
00:17:38.540I had to go interview some person that had given a tip, and they were just running down leads.
00:17:42.020So, everyone gets involved whenever a terrorist attack of, like, this magnitude gets, happens.
00:17:46.680And from all directions were your peers, your FBI colleagues.
00:17:56.260It was at that point we were instructed to go to the playground in Chinatown, and that was our rally point for headcount.
00:18:05.820The FBI has only a loose contingency plan for disasters, and the New York office is already facing huge demands.
00:18:14.660Locate and organize its agents, rescue as many people as possible from the towers, and launch what they know will become a massive investigation.
00:18:26.460Yeah, guys, anytime something crazy like this happens, the office's chief, you know, number one responsibility right away is to make sure their personnel are secure.
00:18:34.040And I remember when I was an agency agent myself, they had this software on your phone where, you know, that would basically, people would make jokes and say,
00:18:44.900it's the track where we are to make sure that we're working.
00:18:46.760But you would use it to, like, check in any time you were doing some type of, whether it was you were working on a case or you were out and about doing surveillance or whatever it may be,
00:18:55.820or there was any type of situation where an emergency was happening and they needed to get a hold of agents,
00:19:01.960they would use that software and you would check in and make sure that you were good, right, and flooding, hurricanes, anything, natural disasters, whatever.
00:19:07.980But in this situation, they have to do it by hand because, again, this is 2001.
00:19:11.400So they have to go ahead and try to communicate, you know, this is before the age of cell phones like that, guys.
00:19:16.400If you had a cell phone in 2001, you were a fucking boss, you know.
00:25:14.540We looked like zombies with white dust on us.
00:25:18.520I went into the bathroom and cleared my airways and tried to clean up my face and hands as best I could.
00:25:25.180A group of FBI agents had commandeered a, you know, brokerage, I think it was Morgan Stanley or somebody, had an office across the street from the Trade Center.
00:25:33.800I recognized the technology then, telecommunication technology, was much different.
00:25:51.260There was a phone bank of like six or seven pay phones.
00:25:55.460Had a cop stand by the phone so no one used them.
00:26:55.000And yeah, not having a headquarters will really cripple you guys because you got to remember, man, if you don't have a place where you have secure computers, access to your databases, access to, you know, looking at records, files, etc.
00:27:05.680That really hinders you as an investigator.
00:27:08.240So, you know, let's not let's definitely not undermine the monumental tasks that this, you know, assistant special agent in charge is tasked with doing.
00:27:16.860You need to essentially find a way to get all your agents to one location, be able to have access to equipment, sophisticated equipment at that secure phone lines, etc.
00:27:27.020Because anytime you deal with terrorism, bam, automatically stuff's going to end up having to be classified a certain level.
00:27:31.160You're going to have to adhere to all those classification rules and regulations when it comes to dealing with classified documents.
00:27:38.340So this is a huge task and a huge undertaking.
00:27:41.200And the fact that they can't even use their own building to conduct the investigation is wild, guys.
00:27:46.480So I can only imagine how many hardships you would have.
00:27:51.760They probably had to and you guys are going to see how they overcame this here.
00:27:54.520But they also probably had to have other satellite offices as well set up, which is identifiable as being law enforcement or the FBI.
00:28:04.080And I said it had to be large enough to house a lot of people.
00:28:19.420I want it secured and I want it fairly close to ground zero.
00:28:24.800The agents, they reluctantly said, well, we could go to the 26th Street Garage.
00:28:33.060At first, I was actually thinking, how the hell is this going to work?
00:29:21.780One thing that was, you know, even though this is a terrible event, the good thing about 9-11 is it united the people, man.
00:29:27.560So many people came out to help each other.
00:29:28.960Same thing happened with the Boston Marathon bombing.
00:29:31.660Terrible events like this really unite people and bring them together.
00:29:34.180And you really start to see the courageous side of a lot of people that otherwise would never be courageous, putting their life on the line to help others in need.
00:29:42.220So that's the one positive we could take away from this tragic event.
00:29:47.340That's when we first started hearing the military jets.
00:31:48.200And it actually looked like a big hall of spaghetti.
00:31:51.120I mean, there are wires hanging from all over the place, but they were necessary because regular phones weren't working.
00:31:59.680It was just logistically an overwhelming undertaking.
00:32:03.880As we were now seeing the 26th Street garage take its form, it was almost like an FBI baby being made in the womb because everything that the full-grown FBI mechanism had downtown was now coming to form.
00:32:39.420People didn't really know about it like that.
00:32:40.680You probably had to be law enforcement to be allowed in.
00:32:43.540And then it was safe from any type of plane attacks, right?
00:32:46.220So, you know, even though it didn't look the best from a safety and security standpoint, pretty smart.
00:32:52.040And on top of that, it wasn't far from the main office and it wasn't far from ground zero.
00:32:56.120So they were able to be close to the scene while still simultaneously being close to their home office to get all the equipment in and, you know, expedite the process of moving on over.
00:33:04.740There were different areas for the bosses to sit, for management to sit, for the case agents to sit.
00:33:09.820Incredibly, within just a few hours, the garage begins to function as an FBI command post.
00:33:26.200All right, now the case starts to take shape.
00:33:45.940For the planes, they were obtained fairly quickly from the airlines and started to be vetted out both through agency files, FBI files, and getting multiple hits on the subjects.
00:33:59.900On 9-11, one of the passports of one of the hijackers was found a block or so from one of the towers in the debris, and that was brought into the command center.
00:34:10.720So you were fairly early on were identifying who the hijackers were.
00:34:14.960And just so you guys know, this woman, Mary Jo White, United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York, she was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York at that time,
00:34:23.020which means she was the top prosecutor for the feds in the Southern District of New York at the time, which the Southern District of New York, guys, is probably one of the most aggressive and prestigious United States Attorney's offices in the country.
00:34:37.600And to become a United States Attorney, you've got to be appointed by the president.
00:34:40.480So this woman was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York back during this time period, which speaks volumes as to what's it called, the severity of this investigation and how important it was.
00:34:54.240I mean, this was everyone's number one priority at the time.
00:34:56.580So, you know, I was I'm not surprised.
00:34:59.100I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, she was involved in every single situation going on with this investigation.
00:35:05.900All of the AUSAs that were actually prosecuting the case of the United States Attorneys, probably there were more than hell.
00:35:12.140I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't like 10 AUSAs on this case working in tandem together just because of how much of a monstrosity it was, how big it was.
00:35:43.520Any information that they found in the investigation, whether it be the passport, the flight manifest, any information that the lead investigators wanted, followed up on or needed, the lead desk would pass out a packet.
00:35:57.800OK, so let me break that down real quick, what she means by a lead desk, et cetera.
00:36:03.380So when a terrorist attack like this happens, right, so the FBI sets up a command post, OK, typically it's going to be at their field office.
00:36:09.760Right. And I know this from personal experience, man.
00:36:11.900So like the goddamn video, because you're not going to get information like this anywhere else.
00:36:17.340OK, because I personally have been in FBI offices during a terrorist attack like the Boston Marathon bombing.
00:36:24.760So they set up a command post and every law enforcement officer in the area, whether you work for, you know, Homeland Security, Customs, whatever it is.
00:36:32.040Right. You work for DEA, ATF, whatever local police officers that work for the state, county, municipal.
00:36:39.060People, they all come in and they get leads, investigators, right, detectives, special agents, you know, postal inspectors, everybody.
00:36:44.680They go in and the FBI generates leads as the FBI gets leads.
00:36:48.820Right. They're passing out leads to other law enforcement officers that are assisting in the investigation.
00:36:54.580And those people go out and run on those leads.
00:36:56.560Any leads that are like, you know, like from a random caller or aren't like maybe the hottest leads, they pass out to other agencies.
00:37:02.660All the hottest leads stay in house, obviously, for the lead case agents to do the investigation with.
00:37:09.520OK. And in this case, there's probably going to be one main case agent that's running the overall investigation.
00:37:14.480And then a couple of co-case agents that are helping them with such a massive investigation. Right.
00:37:18.840So. And the New York field office is the head is the is the is the lead field office running the investigation.
00:37:25.820So they're the ones going ahead and sending out the the leads to other areas, jurisdictions, whatever.
00:37:31.740And then the Southern District of New York is the lead prosecutorial office.
00:37:34.900OK. So on one side, you got the New York field office.
00:37:39.540Then you got from the prosecutorial side, this Southern District of New York is the lead prosecuting a USA's office.
00:37:45.500Right. Bam. They work together and they go ahead and investigate the case alongside of each other.
00:37:49.960Right. This is why they have a USA's on this on this documentary as well as FBI agents, because you can't get anything done at the federal level without having the USA's office intimately involved.
00:37:58.160OK, so. So the lead comes in, she's involved, she's her job is to pass the leads out to other FBI agents and other law enforcement personnel.
00:38:06.120They run those leads down all the best leads they keep in house.
00:38:08.760So when you have a case like this and you have a phone line open and you have a bunch of information coming in, you need to go ahead and get these leads vetted out quickly.
00:38:16.020So that's why they're passing it out to people, distributing the labor so they can go ahead and work the case faster to figure out who the hell is involved.
00:38:23.100Because remember, guys. When this originally happened, they didn't know if more attacks were coming, so they need to work off a speed.
00:38:29.380OK, they didn't know who all these people were. They didn't have all the information we have nowadays in twenty twenty two.
00:38:33.480So they were working fast to try to prevent anything else from happening.
00:38:37.400So they're moving with a sense of urgency. Right.
00:38:42.840Like Mission Impossible, you open it up and there's a picture of an individual and in it would be how they're associated with the case.
00:38:51.200They could have been in Mohammed Atta's address book or it could have been.
00:38:56.480This is a number that one of the hijackers called 15 times in the first week.
00:39:33.120The Boston office had found a briefcase at the airport and it had some information as to what they were going to do.
00:39:44.440A handwritten letter was contained in Mohammed Atta's briefcase that was basically a declaration of we who are about to die for the cause remain strong and resolved.
00:39:58.880It was that type of rhetoric to sacrifice their own lives for the purpose of freeing up the Arabic world from the great Satan, the United States.
00:40:13.620And that same letter was recovered in Shanksville during the crime scene search.
00:40:18.180And it was a third copy of that same letter found.
00:40:21.260So that was really a key piece of evidence that, you know, linked all of them together as well.
00:40:29.520And that comes from collaborative efforts.
00:40:33.460You know, obviously, the Boston field office taking action and moving quickly and trying to find, you know, leads because some of the hijackers flew out of the Logan International Airport out of Boston.
00:40:51.260And so that was broken down initially in a handwritten whiteboard.
00:40:54.920But then as information was refined and identified more specifically, then it was memorialized in writing in charts, which served a very useful purpose in terms of comparison of one flight against another.
00:41:10.020You know, who was together, who wasn't together.
00:41:12.320Once we had the connection between the actual hijackers to now begin the process of doing a complete vertical, a dissection, if you will, of that human being, their entire life, you know, where they were born.
00:41:26.560Yeah, see, then they're going ahead and like figuring out, you know, everything about this guy.
00:41:31.500And this in this case, we refer to Mohammed out of Egyptian and a couple other, you know, of the hijackers were from all different parts, you know, of the world in the Middle East.
00:41:41.480And and here right here, you guys can see here, this is a part of an FBI.
00:44:52.160Everyone is going to be involved in this investigation.
00:44:55.300So, yeah, that's what happens when a terrorist attack comes, man.
00:45:00.200The FBI drops everything they're doing and they're going to figure out who the hell did it, which is why if you're a terrorist, they're going to catch you, bro.
00:45:07.200There ain't no way that they're not going to find you.
00:45:20.180You wanted to, first you wanted to just never pause from the work that you were doing.
00:45:25.240And you got the greatest comfort from being around literally hundreds and hundreds of people who felt the same way and were doing the same thing with that level of commitment.
00:47:27.120He might also oversee foreign intelligence, right, or counterespionage, right?
00:47:32.760So he might oversee five or six different groups that assistant special agent in charge, right?
00:47:36.720Then on top of the assistant special agent in charge, there's something called typically for the FBI, it just goes right into SAC or special agent in charge.
00:47:48.620But in other agencies, they got something called a deputy special agent in charge, which is like for HSI, they still have them, which is the second guy in charge.
00:47:55.200They're the second guy underneath the SAC.
00:47:57.300So one more time, from top to bottom, it goes special agent in charge.
00:48:00.900Underneath him, not in FBI, but for other agencies, you have a deputy special agent in charge.
00:48:05.720Then underneath him, you got an assistant special agent in charge.
00:48:07.960Then underneath him, you got a supervisory special agent, also known as the SSA.
00:48:10.960And then you got a regular special agent who carries cases, okay, guys?
00:48:14.400So that is a breakdown of how most federal agencies are structure-wise from top to bottom, all right?
00:49:31.080Let's say you make 50K per year base salary, right?
00:49:34.500Then you get an entry-level agent or whatever, right?
00:49:37.320Then you get 25% on top of that, law enforcement availability pay.
00:49:40.440And what that basically covers is you working random hours, uncontrollable overtime, going out late at night, doing interviews, staying late, et cetera, right?
00:49:48.300You're expected to work 50 hours per week, which means 10-hour days, right?
00:49:54.920And what that does is it's basically like kind of a catch-all for all the overtime that you're expected to make.
00:49:59.680So if your base salary is $50,000 per year, you add another $12,500 to that, and that's going to make it $62,500 per year based on LEAP.
00:50:09.760Now, as you move up the ranks, right, after, you know, between four to five years, you'll be making well over $100,000 as a special agent.
00:50:16.540However, you don't get overtime opportunities like the staying locals do.
00:50:19.840So in places like New Jersey, New York, et cetera, where the staying locals get paid very well, a lot of times they out-earn special agents.
00:50:24.920Man, I knew one guy that was a police officer in Connecticut.
00:50:27.040He made like $300,000 in one year just off of milk in overtime because a lot of times there's no cap.
00:50:32.840And on top of that, it's very difficult to get overtime.
00:50:35.060The only way that you can get overtime as a special agent typically are one of two to three ways.
00:50:39.780Number one, you work for a secret service or diplomatic security service, and you do a lot of protection details, which makes you obviously inevitably has you working very, very long hours, right?
00:50:49.040And then the other way is if you're doing like wiretaps or you're doing like scheduled work where like you're planning to work on a holiday or whatever, then you can go ahead and, you know, put it for overtime, whatever.
00:50:58.900But the first two ways I mentioned wiretaps where, you know, you're really busting your ass and working a lot because you're listening to phones actively 24-7 and security protection details.
00:51:08.400Those are the two main ways that federal agents, 1811 special agents, whatever you want to call it, typically get overtime.
00:51:14.540But it's extremely difficult to get overtime for the feds, but the state and locals get it all the time.
00:51:19.120Hence why we got this New Jersey state police guy probably falling asleep here because, you know, probably working a lot of hours at this point.
00:51:26.040As the stakes were high on both sides.
00:51:33.860As agents frantically begin to unravel the 9-11 plot, another major threat emerges.
00:51:41.500The second wave of attacks may be coming.
00:51:45.760You're thinking we've got to solve this case.
00:51:49.080That's synapses firing, years of habit.
00:52:15.740And, of course, the plane that went down to Shanksville Flight 93.
00:52:20.100So that's four major, major attacks all in one.
00:52:24.040What's to say there aren't five, six, ten, twelve?
00:52:27.220We have to find out whatever there is that one can find out so that if there is another plot on the way, whether today, tomorrow, next week, next month, we stop it.
00:52:39.280The clear assumption by federal lawmen is that these terrorists had help from accomplices who may still be in the United States.
00:52:49.140What is not as clear is whether those accomplices were only bit players in this historic assault or whether they may still have still to be launched terrorist plans of their own.
00:52:57.900As the dust was still rising, there were two different mindsets.
00:53:19.180Right after the World Trade Center attack, Robert Mueller came to the garage to see me.
00:53:26.360First, to you, the director of the FBI, who will subsequently introduce the attorney general, but we are all very pleased and honored to have the director of the FBI, Bob Mueller, here.
00:53:37.520A morning meeting with Director Mueller in the days after 9-11 was not just a morning meeting.
00:53:43.940This is a group that you can see turned this haunting garage into a huge command post.
00:53:50.420So when you kind of think of that personality, the ability to run that case from headquarters for somebody who wanted to be that hands-on was the way he was leaning.
00:54:00.380You should know this is a great, hard-working group.
00:54:03.000They've been doing it every day without a day off, working 12 to 16 hours.
00:54:08.200And he said that he was going to take the investigation back to Washington.
00:54:23.920And unless you're an investigator or, you know, you've done criminal cases at a high level, you'll really grasp what the fuck is going on with that, you know, request here to take the case away.
00:54:35.240When you put your blood, sweat, and tears into something, and you are running down leads, and you're writing reports, and you're interviewing a bunch of suspects, you've got informants giving you information.
00:54:45.460You've got hours of surveillance footage that you've been going through and doing all the work, going through phone tolls, you know, going through passport records, going through immigration records.
00:54:54.360Because none of these guys were U.S. citizens, right?
00:54:56.480And you have state and locals with you.
00:54:59.900You've got every agency imaginable helping you, and everyone's busting their ass.
00:55:03.620And for the director to come in and say, yo, we're going to take this case and move it to headquarters, you're going to be like, what the fuck?
00:55:12.020No, we've been busting their ass doing this.
00:55:14.700We're not going to do all this work and then pass it to HQ, those paper-pushing fucking losers, because let me keep it a thousand with you guys, any federal agency, whether it's HSI, FBI, DEA, et cetera, you go to headquarters, you go to Washington, D.C., those guys ain't doing shit.
00:55:28.220They're wearing suits all day, fucking pushing paper.
00:55:30.560Those guys rarely, if ever, actually do investigations.
00:55:56.760FBI in New York and the Southern District of New York does not want to give this thing over to headquarters because, I hate to say it, but headquarters, regardless of what federal agency you work for, we all know those guys don't do shit.
00:56:09.200So, I can already imagine the anger, the frustration, and how pissed off agents would get after finding out that the director of your agency wants to move the investigation over to headquarters.
00:56:21.140Especially when it happened in your jurisdiction, your AOR, or a.k.a. your area of responsibility is what the government calls it.
00:56:29.120So, you know, I just had to add a little bit of oomph to that and give you guys a little bit of emphasis as to why this is a big fucking problem.
00:56:35.980And why, if I was a case agent, they would have to pry the case file from my dead hands.
00:56:44.160You know, I mean, they tried this bullshit with me before on other investigations, obviously, that aren't this type of magnitude, and I would not give the fucking case up because when you bust your ass and you're a go-getter, you will not let people take your shit.
00:56:56.800And, yeah, I can, like, flashbacks of bad memories are coming back to me right now just from hearing this.
00:57:55.620And, again, me commentating as a former federal employee, I'm trying to explain to you guys the gravity of this.
00:58:04.920So you're telling me not only are you going to take the investigation from my fucking office, you're going to take half my personnel, you're going to take the case agent, you're going to take the co-case agents, you're going to take the surveillance teams, you're going to take the guys that are involved in, that have the informants, you're going to take them to Washington, D.C.?
00:58:37.980I guarantee you there was a fucking shouting match.
00:58:40.160I guarantee you, I promise you guys, like, when shit like this happens, I've been in meetings and boardrooms with management fighting over cases that were not nearly as big as this.
00:58:55.020We want to move this case to this AOR because we think the prosecution is going to be better, or this guy's a stronger case agent, we need to move it here, blah, blah, blah.
00:59:02.560Bro, literally shouting matches in these offices over shit like this.
00:59:08.220So I can only imagine this guy, his sack, all the ASACs, probably the assistant director of the New York field office, they were all probably fucking fighting with Mueller to keep this thing in New York.
01:00:12.580Remember that USA that I told you guys about, Mary Jo, that I told you is the United States attorney for the son of the district of New York?
01:01:14.600Anyone that's a government employee will tell y'all that.
01:01:16.800Headquarters people don't do anything.
01:01:19.320So I know exactly how these agents feel being angry that they're trying to pry the case away from them to people that, quite frankly, aren't as competent as them.
01:01:27.000And the New York field office has done crazy big terrorist cases in them before, prosecuted them successfully, and been able to bring justice to those involved.
01:01:39.000By the morning of September 13th, the garage is fighting two battles, one against the terrorists, another to keep control of the investigation.
01:05:38.280They were extremely serious about their jobs.
01:05:41.000But, friend, there were lots of people on that floor,
01:05:46.320very busy with computers and telephones ringing.
01:05:50.340And you can imagine what they had to try to.
01:05:52.820They were trying to figure out who the heck did this.
01:05:55.020The volume of weeds coming in, you know, the trite expression, drinking from a fire hose.
01:06:02.960We were drinking from fire hoses from every fire department in the nation.
01:06:06.880It felt like it was a flow that would not stop.
01:06:09.620And keep in mind it was coming in not only from New York, but all over the country, all over the world.
01:06:14.080It's actually kind of funny because Stewart was actually arrested, guys, for felony charges of conspiracy to obstruct obstruction of an agency proceeding and making false statements of federal investigators and was sentenced in July 2004 to serve a five-month prison term in federal correctional facility and a two-year period of supervised release, including five months of electronic monitoring.
01:06:41.980I wonder if it was the FBI that grabbed her or if it was the SEC, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
01:06:46.280But basically what happened was she avoided a loss of $45,673 by selling all 3,928 shares of her IAM clone system stock on December 27, 2001 after receiving material, non-public information from Peter Bakunovic, her broker at Merrill Lynch.
01:06:59.740The day following her sale, the stock value fell 16%, and the month that followed Stewart drew heavy media scrutiny, including a Newsweek cover headline, Martha's Mess.
01:07:11.740So, yeah, she ended up getting in trouble for that insider trading and lying.
01:07:21.840I thought, God, these poor people working around.
01:07:24.840So, yeah, guys, don't let those looks fool you.
01:09:40.200So, on or about January 25, 2002, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office contacted the office of Martha Stewart and requested to interview Stewart.
01:09:51.740On or about January 31, 2002, after learning that the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office had requested an interview with her and immediately following a lengthy conversation with her attorney, Martha Stewart, accessed the phone message maintained on a computer by her assistant and reviewed the phone message that Peter Bankanovic had left for her on December 27, 2001.
01:10:08.220Remember, guys, that's her advisor right there.
01:10:09.960They both got indicted for this, by the way.
01:10:11.240And referred to this as a conspiracy, knowing that Bankanovic's message for Stewart was based on information regarding the sale and attempted sale of Waxel shares that Bankanovic subsequently caused to be conveyed to her.
01:10:24.620Stewart deleted the substance of Bankovic's phone message, changing the message from Peter Bankovic thinks I'm clone is going to start trading downward to Peter Bankovic re-m clone.
01:10:36.560After alerting the message, Stewart directed her assistant to return the message to its original wording.
01:10:43.080Honor about February 4, 2002, Martha Stewart, accompanied by her lawyers, was interviewed in New York, New York, by the SEC, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
01:10:50.100And further to the conspiracy, and with the intent and purpose to conceal and cover up that Bankanovic had caused, I think I pronounced it right that time, finally, Bankanovic had caused Stewart to be provided information regarding the sale and attempted sale of the Waxel shares.
01:11:03.480And as Stewart had sold her I'm clone stock while in possession of that information, Stewart made the following false statements of facts and substance and a part and concealed and covered up the following material facts, among others.
01:11:14.560Stewart stated at the time when I'm clone was trading at approximately $74 per share, which prior to December 27, 2001, had last occurred on December 6, 2001, Stewart and Peter Bakanovic both decided that Stewart would sell her I'm clone shares when I'm clone started trading at $60 per share.
01:11:28.300This statement was false and misleading in that, and Stewart well knew no such decision had been made.
01:11:32.320And they kind of just go into more of her lies, right?
01:11:34.740They just break it down, break it down, break it down.
01:11:36.740As you guys can see, they got a bunch of her lies.
01:11:39.900And then, uh, Bakanovic's alteration of his worksheet.
01:11:43.120So, they had her dead to rights, guys.
01:11:44.800You can see this is a lengthy indictment here if you guys want to check it out.
01:11:47.060Here's the case number if you want to look it up.
01:11:48.600This is at, again, the Southern District of New York, right?
01:11:51.340So, this ended up happening a couple years after, um, 9-11.
01:11:55.800See, I can see why she was so, um, friendly to the FBI.
01:11:59.260She thought that wouldn't get her in trouble, but next thing you know, uh, you know, she
01:12:02.080gets hit with that fucking FBI, open up!
01:23:39.960He identified about seven people who later were identified all as hijackers, giving us their nationality, their aliases, and a lot of details about them.
