“If you say you’re guilty you won’t get the death penalty.”
“Okay, I’m guilty.”
“Nvm, the deals off.”
“Then I’m not guilty.”
“Too late you already confessed.”
😂😂😂😂😂

How can you tell it's a Presidential Election year for $200...

The fact that there was a plea deal to begin with is criminal

[MaryReed-ujhs]

Llyod Austin thank you! Because i remember when a bold statement was made"We don't negotiate with terrorists."

[thenotoriousrin]

3, 000 bodies….and no death penalty? C’mon America

[dubyredburndarling]

They got a lot of backlash because of the plea deal.

[grantsexton]

So we are 23 years later and these guys are still alive??? What the hell is this

[bigchillphil]

How do you give someone a plea deal that killed all those people? Hmmm seemed fishy from the start. How has he not went to trial in 20 years.

If we got these 3 master minds then why was there a war??

[arwzqu]

Secretary of defense overrules the courts? Is this in the constitution?

[HoosierPete.]

Why is he even still kicking? They had a white American Tim McVey gone within a year for less, yet this guy is still above ground. How far has America fallen.

[geejoy]

Something is still off about this!!! 👀

[dennisshook]

The backlash was so huge that someone nobody has ever heard of revokes it. The government is ridiculous

[vonniofdoom]

Isn’t Saudi Arabia also involved in this, why they scapegoat this guy lol, politics for u.

[charlesdavis-langer]

Defense Secretary holds ultimate authority?
And why hold for 2 decades / create a martyr?

[eMDiKhamPha]

He killed all those people and got a plea deal?!?! 😮

[ginnymurray]

Austin knew this did not look good for Democrats. The backlash was powerful. Glad to hear that he had to step in.

[lisaenglert]

Thank goodness! I can’t believe this isn’t going to trial so the public can see the evidence.

[YakshaManji]

We all know who the REAL mastermind is.. Why are they still playing this game smh
