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.”

I am tired of the personal insults, the harassment, and especially the repeated insults against veterans. Enough is enough. I’ll repeat the request to stop as long as it takes.

lol....

Still trying to use the system to go after people or things you don’t like....

Just like the left does.

Considering that mass55th’s comment in post #7, wasn’t even to you, and was a comment about desantis,

“Come on Ron, Joe’s too busy cutting deals with terrorists....”

you took it personally, as a comment direct towards you in
post #8.

“WHAT PART OF STOP DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?...”

It seems that you are the one that seems to have some sort of problem, not her.

I’m not going to stop posting comments on your threads. I’m not violating the rules of FR. I’ve been here for 26 years, and have never been suspended, or even warned. I don’t abuse my rights here. You are abusing Jim’s name by using him to threaten me for something that doesn’t apply to my comments on your threads.

WHAT PART OF STOP DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.--Jim Robinson

Again, STOP. Never post to me again. NEVER.

Here, you seem to not understand Stop. Read Jim's post and stop posting to me.

Stop harassing me. I’m within my rights to post on threads, even if they happen to be ones you upload.

I will spell it out one more time. Stop commenting to me. You have repeatedly made personal insults and especially repeated personal insults and degrading comments about veterans. That was a point too far. There is no excuse for that. None. Jim’s spelled out rules, I’m simply and politely asking you to abide by them. Stop posting comments to me directly. That’s all.

Again, read https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4166577/posts

Apparently the formula for disappearing ink is still classified, from 1921.

I always thought that Reno89519 was an adult man, but apparently, is a teenage girl.

Who cares?

DeSantis is no more relevant outside of Florida than Doug Burgum is outside of North Dakota.

Piss off. You’re the one spamming this site with post after post about a candidate that is irrelevant. It’s bad as the pro-Ukrainian proxy war propaganda.

"You have repeatedly made personal insults and especially repeated personal insults and degrading comments about veterans."

What personal insults have I made to you on FR? I confronted you for spreading lies and gossip about Melania Trump, and her marriage, and I only mentioned something about yourself that you have posted openly about to me and others on various FR threads.

Was it because I provided specific, documented facts regarding Ron DeSantis using the State Legislature to benefit his political endeavors...ie., changing the "Resign-to Run-Law," and The Sunshine Laws so his past and future travels, who he meets with, etc. would not be open to public scrutiny?

And what degrading comments about veterans have I made, when my own brother was a Vietnam Vet, my two Uncles G.I.'s in WWII serving overseas, and a great-uncle who died in WWI and is buried in France. I support our military wholeheartedly. What I don't support is lawyers in battle zones, telling members of our military how they should conduct the rules of engagement and war, when they've never even been on the battlefield. Military lawyers are there for the benefit of the government, not the benefit of our troops. When I said once the U.S. started sending lawyers to the battlefield, our military lost the ability to wins wars by any means necessary, I meant it, and it's an irrefutable fact. That in no way is degrading to our military vets.

If you don’t want comments on your threads stop putting them up. Nobody is dissing on you personally. Go to bed!

Don’t get me wrong, I welcome comments and I typically engage in discussing the posts I make. Here it is simply a matter of no longer wanting the personal insults and veteran trashing that a certain Freeper reveilles in. I think she is the only person on FR that I have ever exercised a ‘Stop please’.

You cannot stop people from posting on a thread if they are not personally harassing you. End of story.

Oh b.s.

The first comment mass55th made wasn’t directed at you.

You’re the one that seems to be trying to censor people from posting in thread that you have created.

That’s censorship and attempting to control what content gets posted.

If you want to post pro desantis stuff, and don’t want opposing comments, then you should be posting somewhere else, and not be posting threads here.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I wonder what else he doled out that we don’t know about.
