i am sidney goldstein's husband. it may seem unseemly that i am here in support of this resolution, but i wanted to say a couple of things. first, i wanted to thank you. i wanted to thank all of the people who have worked on this. it is deeply appreciated. i want to thank a new member of my family he was referred to as david goldstein, but i think he goes by another name, and he was instrumental. sydney would get up sometimes,, sometimes at 5:30 am in order to go down to the north theater to meet the people who were installing the seats, and of course, david would be there assisting. he is absolutely remarkable and a real treasure. it may be ironic but here i am standing in a room that is named after my father, and he spent 41 years as the council for the board of education. lasting a lot longer than the judge lost it. but i remembered the night they would come back from the theater after the board of education meeting that sometimes went to one or 12:00 where they would discuss things like flossing, they discussed l

seen that individual again. >> was goldstein right in killing him?ances -- i guess, he was correct. >> colonel, was he correct in killing him? >> absolutely, i would have done it and would do it again. >> sold rules of engagement -- why is this taking so long? it's 2018. >> the problem is, the special operations community, the department of defense has twice investigated this guy and found nothing there. and it isn't because of a lot of general officers reputations and the argument upon our oe. it needs to be corrected and it needs to be corrected in a matter of hours easily. >> so, who is dragging this guy down? >> what i see is that president obama weaponized the agencies, and i don't think we don't have a weaponized agency that is going after this individual which is why i am very happy that president trump tweeted out that he was going to review the case. what he's doing is shining a spotlight on this. >> judge jeanine: later is talk, colonel hunt, that this review is something that is improper, the president exerting unlawful command influence.

captain goldstein's special forces team found this guy, captured him.not a detentn center or until center nearby, turned him over to the afghan. the afghan he is released this terrorist. captain goldstein's team found him and killed him. they killed him in combat in a massive war. they did the exact right thing. the problem is, some of the army think, no, he should have been turned back again. here's the problem, if the guys get turned back and to kill somebody else, and how they be charging goldstein with dereliction of duty. they stripped goldstein a year later from his distinguished service cross, his silver star and his special forces qualification. unheard of. and now they are trying to go after him for murder. i think the president of the united states had great instincts in detectingur this because it reeks of great interest is. >> judge jeanine: general, i read your op-ed piece. what colonel hunt said is very interesting. had this guy that they ended up killing in 2010 killed somebody else, then goldstein would have been charged with dereliction

>> i have to remember in 2016 major goldstein did this interview.is the fighting army and there is the bureaucratic army and you have a television interview where someone admits doing something that is a violation of the military code justice and the geneva convention, the bureaucrats knock it around. when they take action it's long after the heat of passion has died down. i am sorry this is caught up in the grinder. i salute the president for his willingness to review the facts and circumstances and exercise his authority under the constitution of the united states to pardon this man. he doesn't have to wait until the military court is impanelled and judges the case. he can pardon him at any point. to say it's premature misstates the constitutional power of pardon that the president has. jerry ford pardoned richard nixon long before the court got his hands on late president nixon. president trump is exercise the right of pardon. here is a major who risked everything and was a commander in the most difficult town in one of the toughest fights in the

so, goldstein, according to documents, assassinated the suspect. an investigation resulted in the loss of his silver star and a letter of reprimand, but no charges. then, in 2016, goldstein went public. >> did you kill the taliban bomb maker? >> yes. >> reporter: those comments prompted a new investigation, resulting in the charge of premeditated murder last week. on sunday, fox and friends aired a segment about goldstein's case. >> that's right. matthew goldstein, he served in afghanistan, he's a green beret, now potentially facing death charges for killing a taliban bomb maker. >> reporter: shortly after, what appears to be a supportive tweet and possible pardon from president trump. "at the request of many, i will be reviewing the case of a u.s. military hero," the president tweeted. "he could face the death penalty from our own government as he admitted to killing a terrorist bomb maker while overseas." >> until there's a proper, on the record, public investigation, it would be very unfortunate for him to do that. >> reporter: tonight, goldstei

trump had a pension to criticize the alliess secretary mawas overruled when he recommended general goldstein to be the next chairman ofe joint chiefs of staff. president trumppicked mark milley of the army instead. it's not merely that he didn't get his way, i think there's a sense that his counsel and advice on matters that are really in e province of the secretary of defense were not >>ing sufficiently taken into account. oodruff: michael gordon, we're also hearing today thhro reuters news service that there's talk by the administration of a dratic pullout of u.s. troops from afghanistan. do we know whether th have played a role in this? >> well, i don't know if hat ayed a role. it's not referenced in his letter, but also my colleagues at the "wall street journal" also had that story, ng with reuters, and they noted they're looking at a with of up to 14,000. we know that president trump has long been uneasy about keeping american troops in afhanistan, and essentially had to be talked into it by secretary mattis, by the generals, by h.rr. mcmas when he was the national security advisor and
