"The Pentagon is building a new $4 million war court chamber at Guantanamo Bay that will not allow for public access, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

The new courtroom is expected to begin holding proceedings in 2023. Two military judges will be able to hold proceedings at the same time in the new chamber, and it will hold smaller cases, the NYT reported.

While members of the public will not be allowed inside the courtroom, they’ll be able to watch the proceedings in a separate building via video, and on a 40-second delay. This separate room is described as a “virtual gallery with multiple camera angles simultaneously displayed,” according to Office of Military Commissions spokesman Ron Flesvig. ..."

The claim is that this was designed before Biden, and also they want to empty out Guantanamo. We’ll see.

This means Biden intends to empty out Guantanamo Bay.

Maybe some really bad guys will be temporarily transferred to USA stateside prisons or foreign prisons, but they will all be home before 2024.

Wouldn’t shock me if Biden’s team was talking to the Taliban to build up and run a prison in Afghanistan for the guilty parties to be transferred into. They would be that stupid.

The regime might be looking to transfer the DC Gulag inmates out of the country to ensure some pesky federal judge doesn’t screw up the works.

This isn’t new. I’ve know about it for months. In addition to the courtroom they are also building a new medical center. Trump spread the payment disbursements out over 5 years so good luck trying to shut Gitmo down during Joey’s term.

Look folks there are over 200,000 unsealed indictments floating around out there. That’s the reason for the Gitmo expansion. Its not mysterious. Many of these won’t be civil trials.

If they're unsealed they're open to the public.

Where can I see them?

Probably for trials of those arrested for protesting the election on Jan 6.
