The "Biden" politiburo got this issue past the election.

Just like they got the Medicare issue past the election.

KSM should have been dead and left in a desert ASAP after 09/11/2001.

Two to the head; end of story. It’s criminal that he’s still alive.

Well, the election is past so Traitor Austin can revert to the traitorous behavior that Traitor obama and Traitor biden ordered him to do.

A very long day. Like cleaning up a bombed building. You start at the edges and work your way in one brick at a time.

Any information the SOB has is over 20 years old. He is long past his “useful” date.

I think they should put him in a burning building so he knows how some of his victims felt.

>> How many more [traitors] exist in the Department of Defense?

I don’t know but I pray that President Trump makes it a priority to identify them and drum them out of our military and DoD.

These animals should have been executed after all the info was extracted from them, no later than 2004. What a miscarriage of justice.

I would personally do a Jack Ruby on them if I could get a shot.

If an agreement is made and then the guys talk....how can it then be revoked?
I think his hands are tied as a judicial authority.

So you’re ok with outrageous ‘agreements’ made in the dark ?

‘The prosecution/DA/”judge” decided to go with time served so our hands are tied, they must be released’ ..

Any traitors in the military, even at the top, need to be court-martialed. convicted, and then sentenced to a short drop and quick stop, even if they were officers.
