Good morning from Guantanamo Bay. Week 2 of this round of pretrial hearings in the 911 case have begun in closed session with secret testimony from an FBI agent about FBI-CIA collaboration.
You can click this picture for our Who’s Who guide on the case.
We hope to hear later today about how an outbreak of Covid on the prosecution side will impact the rest of the week. Prosecution team members with Covid arrived on Saturday’s flight from Washington, which brought family members to observe the proceedings, and a Polish TV crew.
Last week, we lost two days of hearings to Covid cases on an earlier flight. A key defense lawyer was quarantined, then tested positive. Saturday’s observers have to mask while in the court gallery. Some legal staff may not be allowed inside the chamber itself, even masked.

there is no federal statute of limitations whatsoever on terrorism resulting in death among a few other offenses, even if the suspect isn't identified or charged.
the interesting thing about this one is that the suspects were apprehended within a year and shipped off to gitmo within 5 years.
that its taken 20+ years to build a case and bring it to trial is extremely unusual and i dont even know if it is precedented.
Trump makes some weird comments sometimes as we all know. One of the recurring ones is "our nation is on trial" and things to that effect. It might very well be if this is taking 20+ years to unravel. yes thats hopium straight out of the paper bag. Things like this keep Trump interesting and they keep me wondering what he means. I have this perpetual ambivalence over being frustrated that he doesn't just lay certain things out "and yet ," find me a lawmaker or a current/former president who will say anything about the fraud corruption and waste of the system at all. The things he DOES say make these people explode with rage and try to ruin him.
