Three veterans who were flown to Washington as part of a Saudi-sponsored campaign to lobby for changes to the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) say organizers of the event concealed the Saudi role in the initiative.
Enacted in September 2016 over President Obama’s veto, JASTA altered the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act in a way that cleared the path for 9/11 families and survivors to sue the kingdom for its alleged support of the hijackers...
...“The guy didn’t tell us what we were doing or what side we should take,” says Tim Cord “He just said, ‘Hey you’re going to see (senators) Lindsey Graham and John McCain talk about this thing called JASTA.’ I thought we were going to sit in on a thing and listen to them talk about it. We had no idea what position that this group that was flying us out had.”

They put little paper Purple Hearts on them. Disgrace. Such disgrace.
Surprise
McShamey backs ISIS
Why am I getting the feeling Lindsey and John should be in jail now for things they are hiding?
And KSA needs to “experience” a “nuclear event.” (I.e. turning sand into glass in situ!)
Everything that comes out of their mouth is directly from their King.
Why am I getting the feeling Lindsey and John should be in jail now for things they are hiding?

After a thorough investigation and a public hearing.
Selling your honor cheap fellas
The whole thing was a political charade from the start. There was no way in hell anyone would be allowed to sue a foreign government in U.S. civil court.
What I don’t understand about politicians could fill a phone book, but page 1 is this: there is so much money in Washington DC, why can’t they take it from honorable groups with American values?
Secondarily, why can’t anyone get to Washington and say “I’m not taking another dime from anyone, even if that means I lose the next election?” Then spend your two or six years doing the people’s work.
Do they all make a pact upon first entry to the Capitol building to always work against the American people as long as they make money?
And the list of questions never ends...
This thread needs to read by any military freeper.
I don’t think they really understood what was happening.
It keeps getting worse with Graham. He’s just punked Purple Hearts vets to try to help the saudis.
The Vets that got the free 5 star vacations did not.
The Senior Leader of Military Order of the Purple Heart did and they made $100K for their efforts for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They were Veterans also sad to say.
