Well I’m shocked!

[Diogenesis]

FIB and DOJustUS HELPed the Saudis escape
BOTH after 911 and the Boston Atrocity.

Why? and Why do they dare play stupid, now?

.... because they think we are stupid.

[Theoria]

He was accused of killing a Portland teen. Feds believe the Saudis helped him escape

[Maris Crane]

Suddenly the FBI and other agencies are ALL LAW AND ORDER.

That’s what an investigation will do.

Believing 99% are good guys is getting harder and harder.

Something stinks with these Saudis, their kingdom & their Sunni faith. It keeps popping up.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not surprising. I’ve heard of many military members being whisked out of a foreign country to avoid prosecution.

"But the saudis are our allies in the region, blah, blah, blah..."

The filthy sand maggots should have been nuked out of existence on 9/12.

“In some cases, suspects managed to exit the US even after surrendering their passports to authorities.”

I think some hide that they come into this country having more than one passport. They surrender the Saudi one and leave on another passport. Others are supplied a new passport by the Saudi gov’t.

[Svartalfiar]

The heavily-redacted document said Riyadh helps citizens escape to avoid embarrassment, but does not indicate what assistance it gives nor the number of fugitives who have fled.

Do we not have an extradition treaty with Saudi? I would think we would, for how 'friendly' we are. And wouldn't those requests be almost as embarrassing?
