But within a minute, I had clear knowledge that every document in the world would exonerate me because I knew for absolute certainty that every aspect of her allegation was totally false. That's why I challenged the other side to produce videos, to produce photographs. I knew that there could be no evidence inculpating me because I knew I was innocent. So I knew that all of my records would prove that. Facts are facts. And I just wasn't in any contact or any sexual contact with Virginia Roberts, and I knew with absolute certainty that the facts would completely exonerate me. And if your clients had just called me, at the courtesy of simply calling me, I would have been able to point them to Professor Michael Porter of the Harvard Business fo own DM fF WN NNN NNN HM ep bb pp pp ob WN FO © ON A MB WN HO A.

He was able to access his daughter's journal notes that I had taught his daughter's class. 1 was able to find out where my other documents were. My wife made some phone calls immediately.
