Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden over a plan to offer plea deals to the 9/11 plotters — including admitted mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed — to avoid the death penalty, Newsmax reports.

Talks between prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mohammed and his four co-defendants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they have been held for two decades awaiting trial, could end up prohibiting prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, the Washington Examiner reports.

“Joe Biden’s allies are negotiating lesser sentences for 9/11 attackers,” tweeted Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee. “If they won’t punish terrorists, how can we trust them to lock up criminals in your neighborhood?”

“A day after the anniversary of 9/11 the Biden admin is doing the unthinkable — they are considering offering the terrorists, who organized those attacks, plea deals to escape the death penalty,” the House Armed Services Committee’s Republicans tweeted. “These terrorists killed thousands of innocent people — they deserve the death penalty.”

“Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his accomplices planned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks [and are] responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans,” Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio and ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told the Washington Examiner in March. “It is unconscionable that military prosecutors would even entertain the idea of a plea agreement that removed the possibility of the death penalty.”

  1. Why is the person pictured above looked so drugged, out of it? Is the Biden administration torturing him? Is the Biden administration waterboarding him? Even the illegal migrants are treated better.

    President Biden responded to the Republican congressmens’ tweet on his POTUS twitter account saying: “You guys are a bunch of hypocrites! When we refuse to offer fetuses plea deals, and we insist that they must receive the death penalty, by means of abortion, you, and your so called Pro Life allies, complain and call us murderers. But NOW, when we DO offer a plea deal to THESE gentlemen to help THEM avoid the death penalty, YOU COMPLAIN! You can’t have it both ways!”
