Impeachment Managers - remind Republican Senators and the Nation, 'Bin laden didn't fly the planes'

bin Laden didn’t fly the planes


It’s really just that simple. The 9/11 attacks were not even Bin Laden’s idea. For that we held Khalid Sheikh Mohammed accountable. The idea for the 9/11 attacks was first presented to bin Laden in 1996 in Afghanistan by KSM.

Every sitting Republican Senator wholeheartedly endorsed the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and none lamented the day he was brought to justice by Seal Team 6.

What exactly was Bin Laden’s crime, the one for which all those Republican senators agreed that he deserved extrajudicial execution? bin laden used his position of authority to incite violence against the US. He used rhetoric and provided material assistance to the terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks.

No analogy is perfect, but this is one that most Americans will understand and agree with. That is exactly what Donald J Trump did in the months before Jan 6, and at the Jan 6 ‘Stop the Steal’ rally. Trump used his position of authority to spout lies, repeatedly, he repeatedly encouraged his follows to take action, to be strong, to stand up to right a fictitious wrong or risk losing their country, and to fight like hell to accomplish that end, and although he claimed he would join his followers in a march on the Capitol to stop congress and overturn the election results, he then retreated to the White House and watched with satisfaction on TV, much as bin Laden must have watched on 9/11 as planes crashed into the World Trade center towers and the pentagon. The President of the United States just sat and watched on TV, for hours, as the seeds of his rhetoric took shape and the riot he had produced in that made for TV moment came into being.

Trump summoned the whirlwind, set it loose and then did nothing to stop the terrorists he had unleashed. Trump tried and failed to do what bin Laden’s followers on Flight 93 had attempted. And like the passengers on Flight 93, Trump’s terrorists were stopped by patriotic Americans who stood shoulder to shoulder in the face of the terror he summoned and like the passengers on Flight 93, they refused to allow terror to win. Some gave the last full measure in defense of democracy.

The sacrifice made by capitol police in defense of our democracy should not be ignored and Trump’s terrorist attack on that democracy cannot be allowed to go unvanquished. Donald J Trump must be convicted of inciting the 1/6 Capitol Riot.

For all those Republican Senators who choose to vote otherwise, this analogy must be made plain to their constituents now and in the next election cycle.
