Same goes for Sheriff Joe. I wish I knew why they didn't release their findings.
But it's a bit of a stretch to conclude anything about the PI's Trump hired to look into it.
New York City lawyers on permanent retainer to Trump know the very best private investigators and they wouldn't recommend a poor team to a client like Trump.
“the U.S. Government let them go.”
You could have just said that.
The US government was ‘OK’ with letting 3000 citizens get burned and crushed, as long as the Saudi government didn’t get their feelings hurt about it or anything.
We are forgetting that many of the ME have multiple wives. When living in western countries only one is recognized. Others listed as staff etc
I don’t think Trump would introduce this into a debate unless he had obtained this information from a solid source.
The voices in his head?
I remember this news as it happened. A son of bin Ladin was one of the first ones put on a plane.
What was found was so unbelievable that Trump decided the only way to save the country was to run for president.
That's the funniest thing I've read all day.
I share your concern. Nothing tried is stopping him.
Other than they didn't uncover anything and Trump's claim that they had "absolutely unbelievable" information was...inaccurate.
Well that explains that.

Panel Clears Handling of Bin Laden Kin on 9/11
By MATTHEW L. WALD
Published: April 14, 2004
The six chartered flights that rushed scores of Saudi citizens out of the United States after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were handled properly by the Bush administration, the independent commission investigating the attacks said in a statement on Tuesday.
A flight on Sept. 20, 2001, carried 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Osama bin Laden, according to the statement. But all 142 passengers on the flights, mostly Saudi citizens, were screened by law enforcement officials, the statement said, to ensure that they were not security threats and not wanted for questioning. The flights were “dealt with in a professional manner” by the government, the commission said.
The rush by the Saudis to depart attracted notice and stirred accusations that the administration allowed it to take place to maintain good relations with the Saudis. An article in Vanity Fair magazine last October asserted that the Saudis were allowed by the White House to violate a ban on flights imposed after the attacks to fly a group from Tampa, Fla., to Lexington, Ky., in a small jet, where they would join a larger group. But the Federal Aviation Administration maintained that the ban was lifted before the plane took off.
Among other critics, Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York said last September that some of the Saudis who were allowed to leave may have had ties to terrorism. “This is just another example of our country coddling the Saudis and giving them special privileges that others would never get,” he said.
But according to the statement, the F.B.I. checked “a variety of databases” and searched the aircraft. The statement said that it was not clear whether anyone checked a watch list maintained by the State Department, but that a check after the departure showed no matches.
The statement said the F.B.I. concluded that no one who was allowed to depart was wanted for questioning, and that the commission had found no evidence to contradict this.

It is now known that GW Bush ordered his security advisor, Richard Clarke, (a left over from the Clinton administration and the TWA Flt 800 theorist who claimed the plane continued to climb another 1,400 ft after the nose of the plane was blown off [absurd]), to get members of the Saudi Royal family who were at the time in Florida and NY, out of the country ASAP. Even though the entire country was under strict no fly orders, Clarke managed to get them on planes and out of the country. imho, Jebby cut Trump off last night to protect his brother’s generally unknown role of protecting the Saudi connection to 9/11 and more than likely, a Bush connection as well.
That was nearly a Trump Cruz love fest last night. They were last seen heading for one of those Elvis impersonator wedding chapels there in Vegas.
As for Trump getting hammered about suggesting we kill the families of the COWARDLY radical leaders of these muslim murderers, issuing a death warrant for the families of these people might cause them to reconsider dispatching their brainwashed and largely illiterate fellows to murder US if THEIR families will die.
General Sherman correctly observed that “War is hellâ€. We’re in a WAR!
What’s so different from Trump’s idea than the allied fire bombing of Dresden in February, 1945, 6 months before the German surrender? An estimated 100,000 to 500,000 men, women and CHILDREN were killed. The exact number could only be estimated because there were so few actual intact corpses to count! Many historians believe it was an act of pure revenge for Hitler’s indiscriminate bombing of Britain and they’re probably right.
Then, of course, there was Hiroshima & Nagasaki in August of ‘45. Scores of thousands of Japanese women and children died to save American lives by avoiding an invasion of the home islands.
All Trump is suggesting is that an EARNEST PREEMPTIVE threat to these SAVAGES MIGHT save the lives of OUR INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHEN THE FIGHT HERE ON OUR SOIL REALLY GETS CRANKED UP. THANKS TO OBOZO AND HIS IMBECILIC “IMPORT AN ISLAMIST†PROGRAM, IT SOON WILL!!
So true.
Are you sure you want your post to stand? I think this is truly dangerous information, dangerous to your sister.
Second point, I'll bet there are dozens, maybe hundreds of similar stories.
The Russians also knew. My brother was an air traffic controller in anchorage and on 9/10 he said the Russian military jets were locking on to civilian planes off the coast of Alaska. At the time, my brother thought we were at a start of a new war.
Here is what I think Trump is adept at making fools of the media. Even if he is wrong once or twice it will have no effect, he has a great deal of wiggle room.
I am a Cruz supporter and like Cruz I have great respect, appreciation and admiration for Donald Trump, Cruz is a leader and as such that is the example he sets, one day they will come toe to toe in battle but the leadership traits Cruz possesses will not change as a result of winning, these two are opponents not enemies, I am confident that is how Cruz sees it.
Freepers arguing against the idea that the Saudis may have been flown out of the US to protect them, primarily because the subject is brought up by Trump?
Man, that derangement is debilitating a lot of people.
It is something to behold.
