In the wake of reported plea deals for key 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and accomplices Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, Republican leaders in Florida are expressing their indignation.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who could be Secretary of State in the next Donald Trump administration, said “everything the Joe Biden–Kamala Harris Administration does projects weakness to our enemies.”
“Their decision to cut a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attacks, is reprehensible and an affront to the memories of the thousands of innocent Americans we promised to never forget,” Rubio added. “The continued weakness of the Biden-Harris Administration will only embolden our enemies and invite more aggression by those who seek to harm Americans on U.S. soil and abroad.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose military service found him in Guantanamo Bay where these perpetrators of terror have been housed, condemned the “disgraceful miscarriage of justice orchestrated by the Biden-Harris administration” in negotiating the life sentences for the trio.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is similarly outraged, condemning the administration for “giving 9/11 terrorists a plea deal when they deserve nothing less than death,” in the latest manifestation of “dangerous, un-American weakness toward America’s enemies that has made us all less safe.”
Expect updates to this post when more reactions come in.

I’m so sorry this 911 prisioner release is being perpertrated by The Left, my Besty Leftys.
Y’all had a 100% chance of Taking The White House before this travasty occured.
Sadly my Besty Leftys even Kammy’s VEEP pick Whoopi Goldberg wont any longer be able to drag Kammy accross the finish line after this 911 prisioner relaease.
I’m so sorry my besty leftys, Whoopi and I, ELVIS, had alteady purchased that barge of fireworks from Hillary she did not get to use in 2016 to celebrate the HARRIS/GOLDBERG win.
Again, my Besty Leftys, I’m so sorry this happened,

These guys have been in custody for 20+ years. There are reasons the cases have NOT gone to trial, part of which may be the admissibility of evidence gathered by intelligence agencies, AND (probably the more likely reason) a trial would expose the involvement or tacit approval of some of our Middle East allies in the 9/11 attacks.

I agree there’s more to it. Having to do with Saudi royalty, the middle eastern “allies” you mention. First Afghanistan now this. Vets and people who lost loved ones will remember Biden Harris accordingly.

W allowed the entire Saudi diplomatic population leave on a chartered plane in the wake of 9/11. Then, they diverted the nation’s attention to Iraq.
Personally, I like the idea these turds will be in the slammer for life. No 72 virgins for them.

Also, these three 9/11 terrorists were subject to torture, which the US has sworn off, supposedly.
Dee was in Gitmo later on, so the waterboarding and etc. was perhaps finished by then — definitely after Obama became president.

This terrorist would not have been offered a life in prison deal if he had nothing significant to offer the State Department.
Republicans can whine and complain….. they often do!

Putting these guys on trial may expose the illegal torture and other facts that could endanger getting the verdict the feds seek. Better to keep them in America’s gulag.
