Mueller Helped Saudis Cover Up Involvement In 9/11 Attacks: Lawsuit

Sat, 09/07/2019 - 12:37

Robert Mueller - pitched as an incorruptible beacon of justice when he
was tasked with (unsuccessfully) hunting down ties between Donald Trump
and Russia - was nothing more than a hatchet man for the deep state, who
participated in a coverup of Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11 according to a
new report by the New York Post's Paul Sperry - citing former FBI
investigators and a new lawsuit by 9/11 victims.

According to Sperry, Mueller stonewalled after FBI agents discovered
evidence of "multiple, systemic efforts by the Saudi government to
assist the hijackers in the lead-up to the 9/11 attacks," while the
former FBI director allegedly "covered up evidence pointing back to the
Saudi Embassy and Riyadh - and may have even misled Congress about what
he knew."

"He was the master when it came to covering up the kingdom's role in
9/11," said Sharon Premoli, a September 11th survivor who was pulled out
of the rubble of the World Trade Center, and is now suing Saudi Arabia
as a plaintiff in a new lawsuit.

"In October of 2001, Mueller shut down the government's investigation
after only three weeks, and then took part in the Bush
[administration's] campaign to block, obfuscate and generally stop
anything about Saudi Arabia from being released," she added.

"Any letting the Saudis off the hook came from the White House," said
former Agent Mark Rossini, adding "I can still see that photo of Bandar
and Bush enjoying cigars on the balcony of the White House two days
after 9/11."

Speaking with multiple FBI case agents, Sperry lists a series of
incidents describing Mueller 'throwing up roadblocks' in front of his
own investigators - "making it easier for Saudi suspects to escape
questioning." And according to the lawsuit, Mueller "deep-sixed what
evidence his agents did manage to uncover."

Via the NY Post:

* Time and again, agents were called off from pursuing leads back to
the kingdom's embassy in Washington, as well as its consulate in Los
Angeles, where former FBI Agent Stephen Moore headed a 9/11 task force
looking into local contacts made by two of the 15 Saudi hijackers, Moore
testified in an affidavit for the 9/11 lawsuit. He concluded that
"diplomatic and intelligence personnel of Saudi Arabia knowingly
provided material support to the two hijackers and facilitated the 9/11
plot." Yet he and his team were not allowed to interview them, according
to the suit.

* In Washington, former FBI Agent John Guandolo, who worked terror
cases out of the bureau's DC office, said then-Saudi Ambassador Prince
Bandar "should have been treated as a terrorist suspect" for giving
money to a woman who funded two of the 9/11 hijackers. But he was never
questioned either, Guandolo said.

* Instead, Mueller obliged what Guandolo called an "outrageous
request" from Bandar within days of the attacks to help evacuate from
the country dozens of Saudi officials, including at least one Osama bin
Laden relative on the terror watch list. Mueller assured their safe
passage to planes, using agents as personal escorts, according to FBI
documents obtained by Judicial Watch. Agents who should have been
interrogating the Saudis instead acted as their bodyguards.

* In 2002, Mueller prevented agents from arresting the
Saudi-sponsored al Qaeda cleric who privately counseled the Saudi
hijackers, said Raymond Fournier, an agent with the Joint Terrorism Task
Force in San Diego at the time. "He was responsible for vacating the
arrest warrant for Anwar al-Awlaki for passport fraud," Fournier said.
He even ordered agents who detained the fiend at JFK to release him into
the custody of a "Saudi representative," Fournier said. The FBI closed
their investigation of Awlaki, who was allowed to leave the US on a
Saudi plane. "Shortly thereafter, the Fort Hood shooting occurred and
Awlaki's fingerprints were all over that incident," said former FBI
Agent Michael Biasello, who helped work the Texas terror case.

* At the same time, Mueller removed a veteran agent from
investigating a tip that an adviser to the Saudi royal family had met
with some of the Saudi hijackers at his home in Sarasota, Fla.,
effectively killing the case, according to the lawsuit. The home was
suddenly abandoned two weeks before 9/11.

* Mueller even tried to shut down a congressional investigation into
the Saudi hijackers and their contacts in LA and San Diego, said Bob
Graham, who led the joint inquiry as Senate Intelligence Committee
chair. "The strongest objections" to his staff investigators visiting
FBI offices there came from the FBI director himself, said Graham, in a
2017 interview with Harper's magazine. Among other things, Mueller
refused their demands to question a paid FBI informant who roomed with
the hijackers and even moved him to a safe house where they couldn't
find him, Graham said. Mueller, with the White House, redacted 28 pages
detailing Saudi-9/11 ties from the congressional report.

* He also gave testimony to Congress that was, at the very least,
misleading. In an October 2002 closed-door hearing, Mueller claimed he
found out about Saudi-9/11 connections only as a result of the joint
inquiry's investigative work: "[S]ome facts came to light here and to
me, frankly, that had not come to light before." Only, Moore said he
gave Mueller "daily" briefings on such connections in 2001. Mueller also
testified the hijackers "contacted no known terrorist sympathizers in
the United States," even though the FBI's own case files showed they had
contact with at least 14 terrorist suspects and sympathizers in the US
prior to 9/11, including some working for the Saudi government. (In
later testimony, he tried to walk this back, insisting he "had no intent
to mislead.")
