It’s a big club and he ain’t in it that’s why.

I wonder if the Biden crime family is mixed up with the Saudis.


I guess we’ll find out.

“WASHINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday ordered the Department of Justice to review documents from the FBI's probe into the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks for declassification and release.

The order requires U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to make the declassified documents public over the next six months as it oversees "a declassification review of documents" related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe.”

And, no, this was NOT from some conspiracy website, but was reported on mainstream news. The following link if from CBS and was written on September 30, 2001:

It wasn't murmuring. It was in normal news (as you demonstrated). It also was reported that most of the Bin Laden family members were university students studying in the USA who left for their safety. There was no reason not to help them. OBl was one of fifty-something siblings. There were a pile of his relatives here in the USA. Surely someone remembers his brother in Boston being interviewed and saying he hadn't seen Osama in 20 years and was NOT leaving.

No President has as much interaction with Saudis as did Trump. He said they were his best customers, meaning those to whom he sold NYC real estate. And you know what? Much as I disliked him being POTUS, he had a right to do business with the Saudis as a private citizen. It was only to get his base voters' approval did he later take on the anti-Muslim affectation. Either way, he did what was advantageous to himself at the time, and it worked for him.

I read that the Biden Administration will declassify more 9-11 documents. If true, it will be the only positive thing he’s done so far. It depends on whether he declassifies anything meaningful against Saudi Arabia. Dubya protected the Saudis and no president since has done much to undo that protection.

Why? So he can stare at his watch, and dream about the ice cream he will have at home. Most dont want to see his face.

I don't think people should get all worked up over this. Every politician who could has tried to attach themselves to 9/11 in one way or another, and we (survivors and families) don't really pay them much mind because they are irrelevant. The people that matter are the ones actually in the 9/11 community. Politicians are just politicians. Whether R, D, or otherwise, they are all more or less the same person with a different head--someone who is more than anything else in the world interested in themselves.

Don't remember but I do know President Trump didn't bow to them the way Mr. Obama did.

Biden can always not go but three years from now claim he was there as is his practice.
