Things that make you go hmmm.

I think we know what makes her go hmmm.

obama tried to get the 9/11 terrorists freed when he was in office. They were to be released to a jail in Egypt where he knew they would be released later.

Remember that obama wanted to have a mosque built near the WTC site. Biden was involved then and now and this was obamas last chance to poke America in the eye.

Austin flips to look consistent with Kamala’s recent flips: Fracking, ICE, “tough on crime.”

[Rockingham]

Or maybe Secretary Austin’s dormant patriotic reflex kicked in.

[nutmeg]

Democrats just lapsed into sanity and realized a presidential election is around the corner.

Bingo!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#7: Or as Joe Biden calls him, “the clean black man.”

Fixed that for ya!

[Chode]

OH Yeah...

[SaveFerris]

I’m shocked

Lloyd Austin finally got one thing right

[Lurker]

This plea deal was approved by someone in the WH. It had to be. None of those political appointees would even consider making a decision like this without Presidential approval. No one in that bunch of Pentagon suck ups would dare to do so without it.

This is on whoever is pulling Biden’s strings. It’s not like that dementia ridden Depends filling idiot is actually making any decisions.

Ha. Yes I remember. But he didn’t say clean this time.

Here is Biden. Two weeks ago. He couldn’t remember Austin’s name and called him “the black mam.”

This probably did him in.

It’s unusual to have a good news dump on Friday.

[Laslo Fripp]

Ouch.!

🙄

[Political Junkie Too]

According to Clay Travis, Austin wasn't even aware of the deal when it was made.

Clay Travis:

The Secretary of Defense has withdrawn the life in prison plea agreement with the 9/11 defendants. Question for military procedure people: how is it possible this plea deal could have been agreed to without him knowing and/or signing off on it? Isn’t this super strange?

Gee...

Why would someone in his command think it was okay to do something without telling the boss? Hmmmm???

i suppose this botch creates a line for appeal insuring the continuation of this never-ending search for justice. another JoKamala epic failure.

[Bonemaker]

Austin’s stones finally descended?

[Bonemaker]

General Keane, a genuine old school general’s general, has said essentially the same thing.

[avital2]

politicization of armed forces pure and simple. he apparently needs the job more than his dignity. apparently acc to Kirby admin knew about this a few days before it hit the news. and they DIDN’T derail it IMMEDIATELY??? really? says quite a lot. no moral compass whatsoever.

[Ann Archy]

Who?

[Joe Boucher]

First good thing this incompetent boob has done while in office.

[wardamneagle]

These people dont even know whats going on in their own department should scare the living hell out if you.
