Bush Took Part In "Obstruction Of Justice" Regarding 9/11

There are many things the Bush Administration did to try and avoid or hinder any investigations into 9/11. They first asked Tom Daschle (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv% 3DePOIhhd9Jr0&h=AT2gFM0d3JZ1MTuIWa8w-xtHK2HGHoZ5PLDqBQ7ljRCOxEFfcdTWL7e0pk9AB1mp4W4pdCe bz38TyUNxUeNF8jtrbuALXiD4kqQ_fOemlLBZk0SNmkNa8m6As 1nqrvY41jM4-v932CtIq1ZbusgNxxMg) not to investigate the attacks at all. During the Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11, the FBI (under Bush) refused to allow Abdussatar Shaikh (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historycommons.org%2Fcont ext.jsp%3Fitem%3Da100502noshaikh%23a100502noshaikh&h=AT2fJkTX8htOKPLBIgmWD-RLMlW9osZ_iif0vf9ztERvEt4J6EJyN4ZYn9UPfus_PoomWG4v a_K1SH9eIJCH1qT1qlbllr1Ef002qeQ7gpTuniS4T5iV-oyb0Ucijg8KqqwfviVOyScTbDzvoiC4apM_) to testify. When the Joint Inquiry was finished, they released a report with 28 redacted pages (actually 29). They also fought against (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2002%2F06% 2F12%2Fus%2Ftraces-of-terror-survivors-trade-center-widows-lobby-for-independent-inquiry.html&h=AT3k_X-IGPQP6nRjhwNM_oCl8BnWk9WCbwzg16CAPFkmuu0zQJCdD_s9I PDDADFZ87kI4ZegYM1REnRnMAbAPJsxIMWA83xkOGR2KN8mv1H 0_sjeMpArhL9kyHxM3rYgSEO3Drm7XJgTnKM6ekWWdkry) the 9/11 Families (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fobserver.com%2F2003%2F08%2Ff our-911-moms-battle-bush%2F&h=AT3kBXCEYJWfZHLOogpvjkHBz-pW2B8oWLZ-oPxqEsoJ_M8twBmUkXsd7fGjZ7OppKYCwBrWMM8bMUMtACXPzO fDeCUpGZSUCpZXuaZ-OnSgTUDMU6J37JwiEYJxa2GxDSMWy58bXXlR2C-Gf0yCgiLQ) that were seeking a "blue ribbon panel."

When the 9/11 Commission came into existence, the Bush Administration made it hard for them to get proper funding (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.time.com%2Ftime%2Fnat ion%2Farticle%2F0%2C8599%2C437267%2C00.html&h=AT3YKqD8mQqsxjo1Dosd230zfwYVV2gBJGPV2CnkF5L2zZY2-MLYc1U_pvtF3X1L__qH97zsuJyxQjUolNYwW4RVNxiHODXN-C3Cy8oqopCUJwACekajJYY3g8WH5h-CPhaHJYxPhzOKy-4QN9OmyA9U).

On 4/29/2004, after a long and hard fought battle, Bush agreed to meet with the 9/11 Commission. However he wouldn't do so without Dick Cheney at his side. He wouldn't do it under oath. No transcripts or recordings were allowed. After the meeting, Bush went outside to talk with reporters (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv% 3DfAOuMK46ZlE&h=AT34mT3XONpfN2BNIwaSnF1WInQRxyCRNDKF9EyRwdCXEfcS tvsFDR3a_7NA9UmRokoT3591cSi6HLrVCGv3oOBfUYNag6a5Oc MMxN0fbmRg20-l9vuCSXcJ6J1Fnpm5XoqSI_gfQ_LUrITr7RDTx0z4) about their meeting. At the press conference, Bush made sure to say that "I was never advised by my counsel not to answer anything. I answered every question they asked."

As many people know, Prince Bandar was a CLOSE friend of the Bush family. He was so close they called him “Bandar Bush (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historycommons.org%2Fcont ext.jsp%3Fitem%3Da091301bushbandar%23a091301bushba ndar&h=AT3SEmYfaQ8BSU-ZmvFuTkaXa6blgLNX_cYqPMMA8dmI-AFIvUkhwAYGzHHLLMVYYQnysO9sUqnx3XPw-faHqc5dLvQaPllJS6QjL2-9bEA4R5oshQrkNPP0i6da4yApkmTbD-1uYgvilaMuGEA0M4U-).” I wonder if his name being in the 28 (29) pages was the reason the Bush Administration classified those pages in the first place. Quite a few spoke of saving people from “embarrassment” as the reason why they were classified. I don’t know, personally I think it’s suspicious that the President of the United States is friends with someone who most likely helped to finance the 9/11 attacks, but what do I know? I know that Bush and Bandar were having a discussion about the need for decisive military action in Iraq (http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=BushBandarMeeting20010315#BushBan darMeeting20010315) on 3/15/2001 (prior to 9/11). I know that before the Iraq invasion, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bandar had a discussion (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woodward-shares-war-secrets/) where the two of them “describe in detail the war plan for Bandar. And so Bandar, who's skeptical because he knows in the first Gulf War we didn't get Saddam out, so he says to Cheney and Rumsfeld, 'So Saddam this time is gonna be out, period?' And Cheney - who has said nothing - says the following: 'Prince Bandar, once we start, Saddam is toast.'
So, it seems that Bush did not answer every question that was asked. Now I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that Bush took part in obstruction of justice by dodging the questions (among trying to avoid or hinder any investigations). Last I checked, that was still a crime in this country. The question is, will the two tier justice system in this country that often lets the rich and powerful off the hook, as opposed to sending the poor to prison, hold him accountable for his actions?
Only time will tell.
Don’t forget, George W. Bush has been re-branded as “good (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv% 3DDdmlUP0POXM&h=AT0rEcGtws39s3HuTVPpAIAhbPnfXWvyxlQvgg4LMv3rwYHR v_eJZtGi84R6_b2Zabbww4j6equ3baP30ez4quYyTi6-MSTWjQrFQN_l9qT2w5B5g_yEuU-43yqw2CmRfDPtyBISDoevvxBahKvp9uBY)” now by people like the Democrats.
It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world that’s for sure.
