This isn't verbatim, but it's the gist of it. I'm sure you can look it up.
From the Ollie North trial:
Prosecutor: "So the inspectors were there, looking for the documents."
Ollie North: "Yes"
P: "And you knew they were looking for the documents"
O: "Yes"
P: "And you were knowingly destroying those very documents, not two rooms away from where they were currently searching?"
O: "It was their job to find the documents; it was my job to destroy them. I'd think I won."
Man, if you're going to go down you might as well go down arrogantly satisfied with what you've done.
