Ron DeSantis presses Joe Biden on declassifying 9/11 documents
Florida Politics ^ | September 11, 2023 | A.G. Gancarski

Posted on 09/11/2023 7:26:01 PM PDT by Reno89519

'A selection of documents and answers remain unclear.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis visited New York City for the annual commemoration of the 9/11 terror attacks 22 years ago.

And the Florida Governor and 2024 presidential candidate is calling on the current President to make public information that is currently classified about how those attacks came to happen.

“And now, decades later, we as a nation still owe full transparency and accountability to these grieving families. Yet too many politicians have broken past promises to them, and that is wholly unacceptable,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis called on President Joe Biden “to publicly commit to declassifying the remaining Intelligence Community documents regarding the planning and financing of 9/11, consistent with protecting national security. While over the last three years, some progress has been made, a selection of documents and answers remain unclear.”

Indeed, President Biden did commit to a declassification review in his first months in office, with some documents being released. DeSantis wants more, however, saying he would “demand from each agency that they provide a detailed justification for every remaining redaction and decide, in the interests of transparency, whether the public interest outweighs any potential harm in disclosure before making declassification and public release decisions.”

“I will end the federal government’s decades-long abuse of the classification system and will strive to be the most transparent administration in U.S. history,” DeSantis promises.

Additionally, the Governor vows to resist a plea deal with “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators,” which is reportedly under consideration and could remove the possibility of the death penalty for the attacks more than two decades ago.

“Any plea deal allowing the accused to avoid the harshest penalties and transparency is unconscionable given the loss inflicted by their terrorist acts. While the Biden Administration has allegedly rejected a considered plea deal over the near term, pressure must remain so that any way forward includes public answers and maximum lawful punishment. Avoiding a public trial denies victims the justice they deserve and allows others to evade scrutiny. I urge the administration to serve justice and send an unequivocal message that such attacks on American lives will never go unanswered.”

Knowing Biden, he'll skip releasing the documents, but will trade Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators for some American pervert sitting in a foreign jail cell. Plus, send along money.

Well, maybe. Besides, why didn’t Trump get these released during his first term? Biden could do so now, claim a victory lap over Trump, so yes, maybe he will.

Sure, he can now.....

Since he isn’t in congress and on any oversight committee, where he may have actually had some say...

Come on Ron, Joe’s too busy cutting deals with terrorists like Khalid Sheik Mohammed, sending $2 Billion to the Taliban, and $6 Billion to Iran, along with a prisoner swap deal there too. The guy is just too busy giving service to tyrants like himself, he can’t possibly grant your wish.

If you don’t want me commenting on any of the threads you post, then don’t post any threads. I’m not going to avoid posting on your threads just because you posted them. I have just as much right to make a comment that is not directed to you, but to the article you posted, as you do in posting it. You’re being anal, and trying to censor me.

Fair points Ron, but its also coming up on four years since the terrorist pilot from KSA shot up Naval Air Station Pensacola, and we still don't know if the victims have received any justice or form of compensation from the KSA.
All of that happened under Trump and your watch.

Is any part of that in state courts? I think that is entirely federal.

Almost 4 years, and I would hope the Governor has continued lobbying KSA on the behalf of the victims of the terrorist. I would hope it would be something he would talk about if he achieved anything from such discussions. Relying on the current and prior administration is a lost cause.

Stop using Jim as a means to censor people. I’m not harassing you by commenting on an article you posted. Use some common sense for a change.
