WashingtonSenator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today called on President Trump to close the prison at Guantanamo:
It was 16 years ago today that the first detainees arrived at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Since then, 780 detainees have been held there. I have called on both the Obama and Bush administrations to remove and transfer all detainees and close the facility, and hundreds of detainees have been transferred or released. Today, 41 detainees remain, five of whom have been cleared for transfer to other countries and 36 who remain in legal limbo.
This prison has cost taxpayers more than $5 billion, and the propaganda value for terrorists has been even greater. Its time to close this prison once and for all, so today I call on President Trump to restart the review process for those prisoners who havent been cleared for transfer or charged with a crime.
I also call on Congress to lift the ban on transferring detainees to the United States and allow those who cant be prosecuted at Guantanamo to be prosecuted in federal criminal court.
With only 5 percent of the total population still there, I believe we should be able to finally get this done. Guantanamo has been a stain on our national conscience, and its time to shut the facility down.

The Senator points and yells: “ Look squirrel!”
Unless we’re going to put all these terrorist from sh**hole countries up against the wall and shoot them in the head, the answer to the wicked witch’s request should be NO.
Sorry Dianne we need gitmo to house the Clinton’s and most of the democrat party
Trying to get her gaff/treason off of the front page.
We need Gitmo for all of the treasonous members of Congress and their staffers, crooked media and the inhabitants of K-Street.
We are gonna have to stop taking ISIS prisioners...no room at the inn!
any vermin who may be convicted in regards this dossier should maybe put in Guat.
Kind of funny - Trump is destroying Obama’s legacy and she wants Trump to make good on one of Obama’s key promises.....
Whatsamattah Diane? He is just now getting the new drapes fitted for you and your RAT buddies cells.
He is skipping the prayer rugs this time though.
President to Feinstein: Get elected President and do it yourself.
Guess she thinks if it’s closed she won’t have to go there when she’s arrested and sentenced for High Treason. Go to a nice Federal ‘resort’ where she’s served strawberries with cream on gold-lined china. Not.
3 hots, a cot, and lovely Caribbean weather! Club Gitmo!
Talk of closing Guantanamo brings back memories of worrying about killer bees or Skylab falling.
Actually, they will probably need to further build it out to hold all the Obamanistas.
Great idea!
Clearly self-preservation as that would be appropriate place to house her for releasing recent testimony document guilty of treason.
Well... this may have come up because of the FBI’s Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
They are known sources for Wash Po reporter Devlin Barrett.
Back in 2005 Devlin Barrett was credited as a contributor to an article that cited FBI agents’ accusations of mistreatment of Gitmo detainees... a hit piece on Cheney and Rummy. Devlin was writing articles about Hillary around that time.
It would be interesting to know if Strzok and Page were the FBI sources used in the Devlin Barrett article back then, and if so, were their tales behind other allegations against US interrogators, and maybe they were even involved in the time info on FBI interrogators including names and phots were found in the cells of notorious detainees?
Devlin Barrett was mentioned in Strzok and Page's text messages; they fed him whatever they wanted to on the Russia Trump stuff.
Yup. Strzok and Page seem to be the 2004 leakers of the fake Gitmo torture claims, which we *know* were made by “FBI Agents.”
I had a buddy there at the time on the inside. He explained to me that the only trick being used for interrogations was the opposite of torture: feel-good drugs such as ecstasy, cocaine, and some Uncle Sam originals that put Detainees in the mood to be verbose voluntarily.
The torture claims were entirely fake. The FBI back in 2004 was taking shots at President Bush by leaking those fake claims.
Ask any leftist this whenever this subject comes up. If it was that important to close Gitmo, then why didn’t their hero Obama do it?
Her last post on the .gov site re GITMO was dated 2007.
...
Good find. What could it possibly mean?
