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

'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.”

Maybe the dude would chill if his username was removed from the ‘to’ field when commenting, like this post. But heck, who has the energy to compile and maintain a list of users with thin skins who post threads then have hissy fits if anyone responds to the originating post.

His skin is so thin, it’s transparent.

After the early primaries in 2024, he’ll eventually burn out.

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

This site has essentially become a propaganda playground for nutters taking advantage of Robinson’s inability to monitor the site like he used to since he has health problems.
The left - and Putin- created and use the Putin cult here to reinforce their narrative that Trump is some kind of Russia operative.
Trump would have gotten a lot more done if he ditched his cult followers, but if they are being paid by the same computer geeks that pretended to be pro Judge Moore in Alabama, he can’t get them to qui because they don’t work for him, they work against him. They scare off more voters than they bring in. And, they have dumbed down FreeRepublic enormously, and shut down debate and discussion just like Bill Gates and the sockal media companies.

Sadly, you are correct. The good news is, it’s pretty easy to spot the trolls. It’s up to us to call them out.

Do yourself a favor and turn off your pc or phone, whatever you’re using, and get some sleep. Things will look better in the morning.

So, Jim Robinson himself is a cultist since he's said Trump was the President ever?

You're right for the wrong reason -- there is NO support among the grassroots for the proxy war in Ukraine, anymore than there is for Ron DeSantis, let alone for wasting billions on it.

Everything you wrong here is a classic case of projection, true of you and those that are polluting this site with similar posts -- Republican operatives, those that work for the defense industry or some other entity profiting from the proxy war in Ukraine.

Anyone referring to Trump supporters as cultists should be zotted, period.
