Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revokes
plea deal for accused 9/11 terrorists
in shocking reversal

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/2/2024 9:28:33 PM

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin revoked plea deals on Friday that would have spared the death penalty for the accused mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and two alleged accomplices. In a memo, Austin, 70, announced that he relieved the official responsible for signing off on the plea agreements from authority and that he assumed control of the Convening Authority for Military Commissions. (Photos) “I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” Austin wrote.

Democrats discovered their political suicide, and backed out of the deal to try and save themselves --- but the mindset has been exposed, and everyone knows the true inclinations of the Democrats, and should act accordingly.

Nobody did the right thing... the deal polled really badly with the public. Only reason for the retraction.

This is the 3rd or fourth time something similar has happened and been crawfished by political honcho's, leading to yet another appeal by the peps defense teams, they are now(yet again) demanding a Dismissal because of it. The 2006 law, revised in 2009 has conditions and codicils to prevent ANY "Command Influence" in the making of, or breaking of convictions, sentencing and plea agreements. Dems attacked Trump, Sessions, and Mattis for doing something similar in 2017/2018, Then Biden rejected nearly the same deal last Sept. The Lady Brig.General in charge of it all was Beau Bidens old Boss(back when he was "killed" in Iraq) Not sure how it works in the Army, but a similar "Loss of confidence in Command" decision in the Navy would be an "End of Career Letter".

It is never shocking when Dems back off a position that they learn was 'unexpectedly' terribly unpopular. They live only for power, and popularity is an important precursor of that. As people, they are stuck in a mean girl, student council member mindset. They can still hate the people they have to please to get what they want.

Generals in the Army are also politicians, or in peacetime their chances of being promoted to the General Officer ranks would be dim. In this case you can bet that the General who approved the deal with the terrorists took that decision with the initial approval from the Department of Justice and the White House. Then came a massive backlash to that decision from the American people especially in New York and other locations affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Following that you can bet that the White House and the Democrats ducked, and told the Secretary of Defense to revoke the plea deals, as White House and the Democrats realized that them reaching a deal with the 9/11 terrorists during the run-up to the November election could well cause Harris to crash and burn in that election. So in the end that General who approved the deal with the 9/11 terrorists is being flipped into a scapegoat, with the White House and the Democrats ducking the issue entirely.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz did not have a good night against Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). The vice presidential debate on CBS News wasn’t a disqualifying performance by Walz, but Democrats cannot be happy. It started rough, and it was like that for the Minnesota liberal for most of the night. He was able to find his footing, though toward the debate’s end, where he made a rash of odd remarks, like being a school shooter’s best friend, the female gender being a preexisting condition, and a baffling and shambolic response

Tuesday was the official beginning of National Day, a Chinese holiday marking the anniversary of Communist Party rule. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the takeover, but the celebrations seemed muted as the week-long holiday got underway, as China faces economic stumbles, security woes, supply chain disruptions, a massive demographic crisis, and a growing sense of anger and futility among its young people. The Associated Press noted that no festivities at all were announced on Tuesday, except for a ceremonial flag-raising at Tiananmen Square, which was a symbolic center of ancient Chinese imperial power before it became infamous for a horrifying Communist massacre in 1989.

Presumably, he meant "proportionate" to the ballistic missile attack that Iran launched on Israel on Monday.

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff reportedly paid $80,000 in “hush money” to his former nanny as part of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) but was not prosecuted, unlike Trump. Former President Donald Trump was prosecuted in New York and convicted on 34 counts for failing to list NDA payments to porn star Stormy Daniels (a.k.a. Stephanie Clifford) as campaign expenses (he denies the affair). Democrats, including Emhoff’s wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, have referred to Trump as a “convicted felon,” referring to the New York case. Yet Emhoff, too, allegedly paid “hush money.”

But although there is no shame in looking out for one’s own interests, there is plenty of shame in it when you put the entire population and the nation at risk in the process, which is precisely what the International Longshoreman’s Association is doing,

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year. Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes,

I don't know what the viewership numbers were on the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but if they're not high they should have been because that was one of the best debates I've ever watched in my time as a political junkie (which goes back a looong time). Vance, as RedState previously reported, wiped the floor not just with Walz but also the CBS News debate moderators, who did what they weren't supposed to do at least twice in "fact-checking" Vance, only to have him refuse to be silenced by fact-checking them right back.

Elon Musk secretly funded a conservative political group in recent years, according to four people familiar with his donations, illustrating quiet financial support for right-wing causes even before the billionaire entrepreneur in July endorsed former President Donald Trump's bid for re-election. Two of the people familiar with the donations told Reuters that Musk's contributions to the organization, Building America's Future, had started by 2022. One of those people and a third source said the donations amounted to millions of dollars, significantly boosting a group whose advertisements and social media campaigns have criticized the Biden administration and progressive political platforms of the sort that Musk himself has increasingly denounced.

Instead, he came to praise rather than to bury his opponent. Vance couldn’t believe his luck. The Republican vice-presidential nominee was only too pleased to play
