Court Upholds Original Deals Given to 9/11 Masterminds by Biden
September 11, 2001, was the most tragic day in modern American history.
As far as we are all concerned, every person involved should be given the death sentence, yet the Biden administration somehow made very generous plea deals, which have now been ruled valid and will stay in place.
September 11, 2001
I, like most of you, can tell you exactly where I was when the 9/11 attacks took place. I was in the shower when I heard my then-girlfriend scream in horror, and I came running out to see the tower on fire.
I was still standing in front of the TV in total shock when the second plane hit, then went to work, only to find out that someone attending a meeting at our hotel had a husband on the PA plane that went down in a field. He had called her from the plane before they took on the terrorists.
I have friends who lived in New York at the time. I had friends who worked at a restaurant in one of the towers (thankfully, they were not at work yet).
Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the worst terror attack in American history, and this administration cut a deal.
The Deal
I would say very few people even knew a deal had been cut with these people until it was announced in November that the Pentagon was appealing the deals made with the accused planners of the attack.
The deals had apparently been made without the knowledge of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, showing just how dysfunctional this administration, and Austin in particular, has been.
After the fact, Austin said the Pentagon was appealing the plea deals while also stripping retired Brig. Gen. Susan Escallier of her oversight of the cases. Too little, too late.
Austin appealed, citing that he should have the power to decide on the final deal, stating at the time, “I thought at that point in time that it was important enough that I should be the person to make the decision on this. And I still feel that same way.”
The Deal Will Stand
Perhaps that should have been something that Austin should have said to Escallier before he put her in charge of the case. Now, these terrorists are going to get their original plea deal because the courts have decided the deal must stand.
This week, a military court ruled that due to the timing of Austin’s memo on the subject, the deal must stand, as the transfer of power in this case could not be retroactive to the memo, only moving forward.
Brett Eagleson, a family member of one of the victims, stated, “When the U.S. government worked with Saudi Arabia to cover up the Saudi Arabian role, to the time we sent 5,000 or 6,000 of our troops to be slaughtered in Iraq for no reason, to the very fact that Congress just denied the benefits for the first responders, now this… where we're getting these terrorist sweetheart cupcake deals. We've been kicked in the gut time and time again, and we're sick of it, and we are so hopeful that we finally have a president who's going to do the right thing here.”
Unfortunately, there is nothing that Trump can do about these plea deals, which take the death penalty off the table for these monsters. Just one more failing of the Biden administration.
