President Joe Biden Still Plans to Shut Down Guantanamo Bay Before He Leaves Office

As Twitchy reported earlier, the Biden administration has apparently reached a plea deal with the self-described architect of the 9/11 terror attacks and two accomplices. The details of the plea deal are not being made public. The plea deal has angered the families of those killed in the terrorist attack, and now the New York City Firefighters Union has put out a statement saying it's "disgusting and disappointing" that the three terrorists are being allowed to escape justice. Asked for comment, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declared that the White House "didn't have a role in this."

Because no one's told him about it?

The DOJ is part of the Executive branch headed by the President Joe Biden FFS

The White House absolutely had a role in this. It's your DOJ.

Uh huh, to whom does the Defense Department report, Congress, the Supreme Court, or the Biden Administration?

So basically "somebody did something" to make this happen.

The POTUS is the top executive officer. Biden was consulted on this deal beforehand and could have killed the deal if he (or more accurately his handlers) had wanted it killed.

In a related follow-up question, Jean-Pierre was asked if President Joe Biden still plans to close down the facility at Guantanamo Bay before he leaves office in January. Biden probably doesn't remember that his former boss, Barack Obama, campaigned for president in 2008 on closing Guantanamo Bay and on his second day in office, signed an executive order ordering its closure within a year. It's 2024.

Biden can’t tie his shoes. Who are the clowns behind the scenes who are making this happen?

Where have I heard this before?

The idiot probably even expects to give the base back to Cuba where we've had close contact on our closest enemy who gets visited and does exercises with other enemies all the time.
