1. Why did Steven King think it OK for Bush to block investigation of 9-11 for an entire year?

And why did Bush not want 9-11 investigated at all?

"According to Senator Bob Graham, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee from June 2001 through the buildup to the Iraq war, "Two of the September 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship," as reported by the Miami Herald. And in Graham's book, Intelligence Matters, he makes clear that some details of that financial support from Saudi Arabia were in the 27 pages of the congressional inquiry's final report that were blocked from release by the administration, despite the pleas of leaders of both parties on the House and Senate intelligence committees."[44] In March 2012 as part of a lawsuit by 9/11 victims families Graham and another former U.S. Senator Bob Kerry said in affidavit's that they were certain there were direct links between the Saudi government and the attacks."
