Holder does a dance on Terror Trials in NYC, & admits he considered the “BLAST PROOF” Factor.

So I’m listening to Eric Holder’s meeting with Congress today, & while being questioned by Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Holder made the statement that he chose NYC for the Terror Trials because the US Marshall’s office told him they are “already blast proofed, & will require no additional construction”. SOoooooo… Hmmmm… Doesn’t that sound like he’s expecting an attack during the trials? What about those outside the court house walking by if there’s a bomb set off? Are they expendable?

Now being a Democrat, I’m sure Senator Klobuchar caught his mistake & helped Holder to quickly gloss over it. She didn’t ask any questions about having to use a Fortified court for a terror trial, & what might happen to those nearby to the courthouse that are NOT in fortified buildings.. Go figure.. I really wanted to know.

Senator Whitehouse (D) suggests that the US Attorney General shouldn’t consider the opinion of Congress, or the citizens of the United States when making decisions..

So in other words, they should be completely unaccountable.. He goes on to claim that Article Three Courts are more qualified to handle the trials than the Military Commissions. Holder (of course) concurs ‘gently’.. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed likes this..

Via Fox News: Meanwhile, President Obama said in one of a series of TV interviews during his trip to Asia that those offended by the legal privileges given to Mohammed by virtue of getting a civilian trial rather than a military tribunal won’t find it “offensive at all when he’s convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him.”

Obama quickly added that he did not mean to suggest he was prejudging the outcome of Mohammed’s trial. “I’m not going to be in that courtroom,” he said. “That’s the job of the prosecutors, the judge and the jury.”

Obama is of course missing the point.. Whether or not they are ALL convicted, he is handing them an ideological victory by letting them step back on US Soil alone. It was an act of war, & they do NOT DESERVE the same Constitutional Rights as law abiding U.S. Citizens.

Agendas, they have them..

Update:

Senator Colburn asks Holder if detainees can legally ask for “immigration asylum” based on the “anit-torture” act, Holder “does not know”. Holder also states that he cannot “imagine” these terrorists will be released on Parole onto the streets of America. He doesn’t guarantee it.

Apparently he hasn’t seen the story about the Lockerbie bomber.. He calls these scenarios “extreme hypothetical”. Lindsey Graham gets Holder to admit that in a Military court, the combatants could be held indefinitely, regardless of a trial, or miranda warnings.

What a Circus… So much consideration for Mass Murderer’s.. Meanwhile, the 9/11 victims are still dead, & NYC is being terrorized again, only this time it’s by our Government.

Is US Attorney General Eric Holder Scratching Backs at Our Expense?

According to Sean Hannity today on his radio show, there seems to be a MAJOR conflict of interest with Eric Holder’s decision to try some of the 9/11 conspirators in the U.S., & move many of them here. This would give them access to miranda rights, as well as other Constitutional rights that should not be afforded enemies who have committed an act of war against our country. The problem is, the law firm he used to be a senior member of, Covington & Burling, is representing those very same detainees! They will more than likely be paid with your tax dollars to represent those detainees! I mean, what happens in our legal system when someone can’t afford a lawyer? They have a PUBLIC Defender appointed to them right? What about the massive police presence & security expenses that will be required? Will Police be dealing with trial security in NYC, when actual US citizens need them? Does anyone else see how perverse it is for us to pay to defend Non-Citizens that committed an act of war against us?

Hannity isn’t the first to raise the red flag on this. Michelle Malkin smelled a rat back in January, & knowing her political prowess, probably long before that..
