The Trump administration is planning to provide the identity of a Saudi official who allegedly helped the 9/11 hijackers to family members of victims of the terror attacks that occurred 18 years ago.
The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
The victims' family members have been pressuring the Trump administration to release the information. In a recent letter to President Trump, they called on him to "instruct Attorney General Barr not to invoke privileges and to give us the FBI documents so that we can finally learn the full truth and obtain justice from Saudi Arabia."

It’s about time!
Just to be clear. The name will not be nade publuc
For now
But will be made known to the lawyers.
I cannot think of one damned reason the American people should not know the identity of the skunk that attacked us. Bush, Obama, and Trump presidencies have protected him.
Time for them to learn who they work for. Release the name to the American people, their superiors.
Bush classified it. Bush. When that report was released with this info redacted, that was when I awoke fully to just who the Bushes were, all of them.
Maybe because he has to make sure he has what it takes when the deep state try to cut him on his knees. You are so simple minded. Go hide.

I’m shocked. Wait, no I’m not.
Who remembers James Baker’s law firm defending the Saudis against lawsuits from 9/11 families?
If I recall correctly, two (minor) Saudi princes died shortly after 9/11. One died of a sudden heart attack. He was in his 40’s. Another died when his car ran out of gas in the desert. He was in his 30’s. If I had to guess, it’s one of these two men, and their identities were supplied by the CIA to the Saudi government so they could take the appropriate punitive steps. Because 9/11 was hugely destructive to the Saudi royals, who depend on the US for protection against external enemies, whether Egypt, Iraq, Iran or Yemen. There is no way the Saudi king or his immediate supporters would be a part of such a plot. Whereas secondary players looking to replace the existing top dogs - no surprise there.
Palace revolts like the following have been a recurring part of Muslim history:

That’s why few Muslim rulers want their military establishments to become too proficient.
No doubt that he has already been bathed, wrapped in linen, and his head is facing towards Mecca.
I don’t know how our government expects us shills here to do our job debunking conspiracy nuts when they keeping stabbing us in the back like this. Not only is it hard on our credibility, it also hurts our morale!
Do you have any examples?
An American President should have either collected at least $3 trillion in damages from the Saudis or saw to it that the House of Saud ceased to exist. GW Bush, who’s family became incredibly wealthy dealing with the Saudis, ended up invading Iraq which was the Saudis’ existential enemy. Barack Hussein Obama bowed deeply and did nothing as the Saudis funded and established ISIS. Now its Trump’s turn. We’ll see. Congress has been bought off long ago and will do nothing.
I’m tired of people like you. The man is under assault 24/7/365 by the Deep State, members of his own party, the media, the dems, foreign gov’ts and entities.
He’s dealing with power grabs and intrigue within his administration.
And, despite all of this President Trump marches on. Accomplishing more in his short time in office than most Presidents could ever dream of accomplishing under these same circumstances and YOU from your couch make such an asinine comment?
Pray tell my friend, who the hell are you? What have you ever done in your life that even remotely compares to this man?
Tell us all. We are dying to know of all your epic accomplishments under circumstances even remotely close to what this man has to deal with 24/7.
No disrespect to you. Just keeping it real

That’s for sure.
I left the GOP in the early 90s, I couldn't articulate it exactly but I intuited that they really didn't represent me or want me in their party except on one day, election day. I went independant but all I could say was I didn't think the GOP was really conservative. Now I can articulate it more precisely: the Bushes and their cronies, who upended all of Reagan's accomplishments and substituted their own miserable legacy of stagnation and disappointment, stole that party out from under me.
I keep reading about what is about to happen. What is coming. Who will be implicated.
But nothing ever happens......
Except more tales of what is to come.
I knew we were in big trouble when W said he had earned some political capital and was going to spend some.
And of course ...... illegal immigration was the political hill he chose to die on.
I haven’t forgotten the crash started on his watch. I haven’t forgotten he never said a bad word about Obama but has said many things against the President.
It’s a shame to see. Had you told me all that would happen 2008-2019 back in 2001 I’m not sure I would have believed it. Other than Muslim terrorists trying to take down the economy. They did it with debt. Their Manchurian Candidate did a lot of damage. /Captain Obvious
Yet he won’t release documents assassination the JFK, over 55 years ago.
An interesting development. Why not release the name(s), the families and the country deserve to know the truth. We already know that there were plenty in the US bureaucratic apparatchik that also facilitated the plot - though unwittingly - by doing stupid things such as granting some of them visa extensions without them even requesting one. I am told on authority I trust that some of the hijackers were men dressed in woman’s hijab to try to fool security personnel (Arafat used this same trick to escape capture at least once). And they must have also had accomplices on the ground who planted the blades and devices which they claimed to be explosives used in the hijacking of the planes. I also believe there were other hijackers prepared to take more planes and do more damage but thankfully the FAA put a quick halt to any further take-offs early enough that morning that prevented an even greater tragedy. As horrible a day it was, I truly believe we can be thankful for small things as much as we can deplore the small things that enabled those who got away with their atrocities.
