Federal indictment tossed after ex-DEA supervisor says Latinos ‘typically’ supply drugs in Chicago | Chicago Sun-Times

Federal prosecutors have made the rare move of seeking dismissal of a three-year-old drug indictment following testimony from a former Drug Enforcement Administration supervisor who said drugs in Chicago are “typically trafficked by Latino people.”
The comments seemed to stun defense attorneys and catch the attention of U.S. District Judge John Blakey, who on Friday agreed to toss charges pending since 2019 against Leonel Hernandez-Rodriguez, Feliberto Flores-Ramos, Charlie Dotson and Francisco Carranza-Rosales.
The unusual move came more than a month after Keith Billiot, who is now retired but worked as a supervisory special agent for the DEA, testified about his role in the case during a March evidentiary hearing. He later walked back his comment following intense cross-examination, telling the judge race was “irrelevant” to the DEA’s work.
Billiot explained during the hearing what had led him to believe Flores-Ramos and Dotson had been involved in a drug deal Jan. 31, 2019. After naming other factors, including the behavior of the suspects, Billiot went further, according to a court transcript.
“In the city of Chicago for the five-and-a-half years that I worked here, typically — not always, but typically it is people of Latino descent are the ones that are supplying people of African American descent or Caucasians, or whatever,” Billiot said, according to the transcript. “But it’s the — the fact of the matter is that the drugs come up from Mexico or come in from Colombia but they come through Latino countries into the cities throughout the U.S. and therefore they’re typically trafficked by Latino people. So all of that, when you put all of that together, it indicated a narcotics transaction to me.”
Defense attorneys in the case — Thomas Anthony Durkin, Gal Pissetzky, Michael Leonard and Robert Rascia — all moved to strike Billiot’s testimony. Blakey said he’d strike the comment about race and added, “I’m going to permit vigorous cross examination on the issue, so fire away.”
Billiot could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Joseph Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney John Lausch, said that, “after reviewing the matter internally, we decided that moving to dismiss the indictment was the best course of action in this case.”
A criminal complaint in the case said law enforcement saw Flores-Ramos leave a home in the 6500 block of South Kenneth the afternoon of Jan. 31, 2019, holding his hand against the left side of his jacket in a way that suggested he was hiding something.
It said Flores-Ramos then got in a Dodge Caliber and traveled to 63rd and Kilbourn while investigators followed. The Dodge parked behind a white Buick sedan, Flores-Ramos got out and climbed into the Buick’s passenger seat with his hand still pressed against his jacket, according to the complaint.
Dotson was allegedly in the Buick’s driver’s seat.
Investigators soon drove toward the Buick and parked next to it, records show. After ordering Dotson and Flores-Ramos out of the car, authorities said they spotted an open bag filled with what turned out to be $34,000 cash on the front passenger floorboard. The feds also said a closed backpack in the back seat later turned out to contain a kilogram of cocaine.
The other defendants were found at the home on South Kenneth, where the feds say they also found eight kilograms of cocaine and $600,000 cash in a dishwasher.
Flores-Ramos admitted after his arrest that he’d gone to sell cocaine to Dotson, according to the complaint.
Still, during the March hearing, Billiot found himself defending his comments about the ethnicity of typical drug suppliers in Chicago. He noted he’d also pointed out other key factors in the investigation.
“So it was not the mere fact — and to be quite honest with you, I’m offended by the whole racism thing,” Billiot told Durkin. “It was not the fact that a Latino person met with a Black person. Absolutely not. Is that clear enough, sir, please? Can we get beyond that please?”
“I started with the probable cause that we developed upon your client and went all the way through the chain of events, sir,” Billiot continued. “That’s including the car, the car is running, the lights are off. Why would that be, sir? So I painted the picture of the entire probable cause that we saw, all the — the things that we saw. We didn’t generate those things. The client — the defendants here did but I simply testified as to what we saw. There is no racism involved in this.”
Blakey also questioned him about the comment, asking whether the ethnicity of the defendants played any role in his decision-making.
“It’s irrelevant,” Billiot eventually told the judge. “Someone’s ethnicity — the clearest way for me to say this is someone’s ethnicity is irrelevant to us in all respects.”
But Billiot pushed back once more against Durkin, telling the defense attorney, “this inference of racism is so phony.”
“You know nothing about me,” Billiot said. “Nothing. For you to infer that I’m a racist, I’m the godfather of an African-American child. She is — she is the daughter of a police officer and soldier who is one of my closest friends.
“There is nothing racist about what we do or how we do it. Nothing.”
An Iowa judge ruled on Tuesday that a teenage human trafficking victim must serve five years of closely supervised probation and pay $150,000 in restitution to the family of her accused rapist, whom she stabbed to death.
Pieper Lewis was a 15-year-old runaway seeking to escape an abusive life with her stepmother when she killed her accused rapist, 37-year-old Zachary Brooks, in June 2020, by stabbing him more than 30 times in a Des Moines apartment.
Lewis, now 17, has maintained that she was trafficked against her will to Brooks for sex multiple times and stabbed him in a fit of rage.
Police and prosecutors have not disputed that Lewis was sexually abused and trafficked. But officials argued that Brooks was asleep at the time he was stabbed, and did not present an immediate danger to her. . .
After Lewis ran away from her abusive stepmother, she was allegedly taken in by 28-year-old Cristopher Brown, who had found her sleeping in the hallways of an apartment building. She said Brown told her she couldn’t live with him for free, and he created an online dating profile to arrange for her to have sex with other men for money. . . .
During Tuesday’s sentencing hearing, Lewis’ lawyers accused Brown of aiding and abetting sex trafficking—but police have not yet pressed any charges.

As more Democrat operatives infiltrate American schools, the ugliness of what they are teaching children and attempting to indoctrinate their parents is becoming apparent. This indoctrination goes from kindergarten on through college.
“Earlier this month, an Old Dominion University (ODU) professor of sociology and criminal justice, Allyn Walker, brought global attention to a newer term, “Minor-Attracted Persons” or “MAPs” for short, within a greater argument that pedophiles shouldn’t be ostracized for their urges. Although ODU seemingly initially defended the comments, they eventually placed Walker on administrative leave. Walker, a transgender male, goes by they/them pronouns.” | Daily Wire
In the video below, an El Paso teacher appears to reprimand a student concerning pedophilia as others in the room appear to say, “no” and the video ends with the sound of someone starting to say, “What the f-?”.
The teacher has since been removed from the class on a 7 -0 vote, though Democrat establishment media has apparently made the concern a “far-right conspiracy theories” concern, as in My San Antonio .
The Democrat Party has always done a wonderful job of turning Americans against each other, by race, color and class, in order to stay in power. Krystle Matthews, South Carolina Representative and U.S. Senate Candidate (D) speaks candidly about how Democrats in power view, treat and segregate other Americans by color. Project Veritas is hated by the left, not for breaking the law, but for exposing the ugly underbelly of the Democrat Party.
Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell | Simon and Schuster
Facebook started the ball rolling in de-platforming and suppressing any story or journalist who mentioned any of the information coming from a laptop Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, left at a repair shop and turned over to the FBI (Daily Mail). Among some of the damning emails found were corrupt dealings with the Ukrainian company Burisma, including one thanking Hunter Biden for meeting Joe Biden. Joe Biden has consistently lied about meeting with Burisma executives.
The problem with the corrupt FBI’s plan of thwarting the story and flushing it down the Democrat Party’s dark hole is that the repair shop owner made a copy of the hard drive and gave it to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. What has followed is one of the most massive cover-ups in American history, including some now famous and previously mysterious actions by the Democrat Party while Donald Trump was in office and now the Biden Justice Department under Merrick Garland:

What will free people think when they look back at us and the way so many people blindly followed orders? It is probably what we think of NAZIs blindly following orders on how to behave and what to think: how could they have been so willingly gullible?
In the photograph below (taken in May 2021), we see high school athletes outdoors wearing masks, some fainting from lack of oxygen. Notice that many people wearing masks are not even near each other. It’s clear that an Orwellian 1984 has taken over much of the world’s population.
Officials in Oregon eased their mask requirement for athletes after a coach blamed a runner collapsing after a race on her mask.
“At the end of a recent 800-meter race in Oregon, a high-school runner named Maggie Williams got dizzy, passed out and landed face-first just beyond the finish line. She and her coach blamed her collapse on a deficit of oxygen due to the mask she’d been forced to wear, and state officials responded to the public outcry by easing their requirements for masks during athletic events.
But long before the pandemic began, scientists had repeatedly found that wearing a mask could lead to oxygen deprivation. Why had this risk been ignored?
One reason is that a new breed of censors has been stifling scientific debate about masks on social-media platforms. When Scott Atlas, a member of the Trump White House’s coronavirus task force, questioned the efficacy of masks last year, Twitter removed his tweet. When eminent scientists from Stanford and Harvard recently told Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that children should not be forced to wear masks, YouTube removed their video discussion from its platform. These acts of censorship were widely denounced, but the social-media science police remain undeterred, as I discovered when I recently wrote about the harms to children from wearing masks.”
One day after Joe Biden’s September 1, 2022, speech vilifying “MAGA Republicans”, Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German was murdered. The Clark County Public Administrator, Robert “Rob” Telles, a Democrat, was taken into custody at his home by police SWAT officers for the September 2, 2022, murder. What was Jeff German’s crime? He exposed the Democrat politicians’ corruption. And we all know, from Hilary Clinton’s classified emails to Hunter Biden’s laptop, you must never expose a Democrat’s malfeasance.
Clark County Public Administrator Robert “Rob” Telles, a Democrat, was taken into custody at his home by police SWAT officers hours after investigators served a search warrant and confiscated vehicles in the criminal probe of the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the newspaper.
Sharyl Attkisson, the epitome of girl power, is a fantastic journalist. It is no wonder the Obama administration hacked into her computer. So what is the real story when it comes to vaccines and the CDC: lies and coverups that do not allow parents to make good, informed decisions.
The real problem with movies like “Vaxxed” and journalists’ articles on the CDC that actually do straight investigative reporting is the CDC does not come out looking very good. It follows, according to the Corporate and Political Establishment, that these movies must be banned and these journalists must be stopped.
Get it?
“According to Thompson, he and his fellow CDC scientists covered up a link between MMR vaccine and autism in African-American boys. “The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism,” Thompson later testified.
Dr. William Thompson, PhD
CDC officials disposed of study documents “in a huge garbage can”
As part of the alleged fraud and coverup, Thompson said he and the other CDC scientists who conducted the research got together and literally trashed study data.
Thompson first revealed his role in the fraud during a series of phone conversations with the parent of an autistic child. The parent surreptitiously recorded the calls, in which Thompson confessed and said he lived with tremendous guilt.”
ABC (owned by Disney Corporation) is a good example of how corporate media uses key words without reference to get us to stay away from news, individuals, and media that go against the corporate narratives. One of the most used words is “debunked”.
‘The film in question, “Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Conspiracy,” examines a now-debunked theory linking autism to vaccines. It is directed by Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced former doctor who published a study blaming vaccines for the rise in autism. The study has since been discredited.’ ~ ABC Go
So, what is in this documentary that scares the Corporate Establishment and CDC that they have done everything they can to suppress it? Just this: the CDC destroyed crucial data in determining the harm to infants given the MMR vaccine.
“I was involved in deceiving millions of taxpayers regarding the potential negative side effects of vaccines. We lied about the scientific findings. The CDC can no longer be trusted to do vaccine safety work. It can’t be trusted to be transparent. The CDC can’t be trusted to police itself. Just a few thoughts.”
William W. Thompson, PhD, Senior Scientist, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agency’s 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism.
The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC. Then COVID hit and once again, the CDC went into high gear colluding with big tech to censor free discussions and whistleblowers : https://greatbloggers.com/big-tech/some-people-just-like-to-be-fooled-again-and-again-cdc-withheld-covid-19-data-cnbc/

‘At least 11 people are dead and 19 injured, counting both of the alleged perpetrators, after a stabbing rampage that began on the James Smith Cree Nation in northern Saskatchewan early Sunday morning. . . The deceased and injured were found at 13 locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby town of Weldon, Sask. . .
The James Smith Cree Nation comprises three communities, including the Chakastaypasin Band and the Peter Chapman Band. Chiefs and councillors of the communities unanimously declared a state of emergency Sunday night “in response to the numerous murders and assaults on members of James Smith Cree Nation during the morning hours of Sept. 4, 2022.” A statement from the First Nation said two emergency operations centres had been set up to provide support to residents.’

The U.S. government is attempting to withhold many of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s email communications with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Defendants object to this Request as overbroad because it calls for documents that are not relevant to Plaintiffs’ claims and that do not fall within scope of discovery authorized by the Court,” government lawyers said on behalf of Fauci and the agency he directs, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in a brief made public this week.
The suit, brought by two states, triggered the release of hundreds of emails between government officials and Big Tech workers.
But none of the released material came from Fauci, even though his agency was asked in a discovery request to provide all communications with Zuckerberg from Jan. 1, 2020, to July 18, 2022.
A federal judge ordered defendants to comply with discovery requests concerning “the identity of federal officials who have been and are communicating with social-media platforms about [misinformation and] any censorship or suppression of speech on social media, including the nature and content of those communications.”
The request for communications between Fauci and Zuckerberg is overbroad because it doesn’t specify communications concerning misinformation, the new filing states.
“Further, to the extent this Request seeks any purely internal documents or records, Defendants object to the Request as not proportional to the needs of the case, as it would require an extensive search of internal records that would not be possible to complete in the expedited period provided for current discovery and would be unnecessary in light of the external documents Defendants have agreed to produce,” they said. “Defendants also object to this Request to the extent it seeks documents protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney-client privilege, law enforcement privilege, a statutory national security privilege, or any other applicable privilege.”

But the FBI is beyond corruption . . . right.
Whitey Bulger wasn’t found until Donald Trump ridiculed the FBI over the whole fiasco. When he was found, he was charged, convicted and then moved to a prison where it was sure he would be killed. He was moved after he said he was going to ‘spill the beans’ on the FBI. His killers were ‘tipped off’ that he was arriving, making his murder all but assured.
Anthony Fauci sent money to China to create gain-of-function viruses and actually admitted it, to the dismay of the Administrative State and the current Left. The problem is, Fauci admitted that these viruses WERE being manipulated in the Wuhan Lab as far back as 2021. He admitted the whole thing: bat to human interface experiments, gain-of-function, U.S. taxpayer dollars being used to fund the research, specifically in the Wuhan Lab, and the inability to guarantee safety. All the while, our own government officials and corporate media continued to gaslight the American public and called the idea that COVID-19 was produced in a lab and funded by American dollars “a conspiracy theory”.
Dr. Mercola has once again been targeted by the New York Times. The original article about Dr. Mercola, published by the New York Times, had to be changed due to the misinformation being spread by the Times itself! In this video, you can find the expert class, including Bill Gates, who is not a medical doctor, but does have a lot of money and is heavily invested in Big Pharma, giving all the wrong answers and recommendations, while the ‘conspiracy theorists’ had it right all along when it came to COVID-19. This is part of the response by Dr. Mercola about who has really been disseminating misinformation.
‘A scathing internally initiated review of how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention handled COVID-19 has found that its approach toward the pandemic failed to meet the moment of crisis, and offered a series of changes intended to revamp the agency and make it more nimble. . .
As part of the suggested solutions, Walensky committed to sharing scientific findings and data faster, rather than at the typical speed for academic publication.
“Produce data for action” rather than “data for publication,” said a CDC briefing document summarizing the changes.’
For those of us in academia who, for legal and collegial reasons, cannot openly tell the public certain things we know through our own research and that of our colleagues that contradict political and financial interests, none is bigger in our current time than the idea of “Global Warming”. However, those of us in the scientific community have known for some time that the evidence is clear that the obvious is true: solar activity has a pronounced effect on our weather and rain patterns through cloud formations.
As usual, when funding is in question, politics in science is unfortunately part of the equation. So scientists always have to be careful about what they say and how they say it so they don’t lose their funding. A Conspiracy Theory? No, Conspiracy Fact.
Americans must be willing to look with clear eyes at the institutions and information we’re given with open and discerning minds. Many clues come hidden in articles that appear to tell us one thing, while subtly letting us know an opposing view is possible and even more likely.
“Many estimates have been made of the effect that long-term trends in solar cycles could have on global climate. Computer models suggest, if the Sun’s irradiance consistently increased or decreased for many decades that the average temperature on Earth would change as well. While the magnitude of those changes would likely be small – around a couple of tenths of degrees in the global mean, because solar irradiance changes slowly on decadal time scales – there is some evidence for solar-cycle related regional enhancements of the effects in the North Atlantic and surrounding regions.”
‘While the solar cycle is not yet at its peak, the space agency said activity has already surpassed predictions. Solar flares and eruptions will likely increase from now until 2025, as we reach “solar maximum,” writes Nicola Fox, the director of NASA’s heliophysics division.’
Solar flares will increase, cause problems on Earth through 2025, NASA says | Wane
It’s official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet.
Like the quiet before a storm.
Recently researchers announced that a storm is coming–the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). “The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one,” she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.

The Global Warming crowd and the Left have made great advances in creating an ignorant, compliant base. For those of us who love science, the world isn’t as scary as it seems.
“The sun is certainly feeling forceful these days, as it is generating a surge of space weather to herald the start of its maximum of an 11-year solar cycle of activity.”

Corporate media will pounce on dissent based on real science and data if it goes against the official, that is to say, the Administrative State or corporate narratives. This is especially true in recent times when it comes to COVID-19. But buried in the bowels of its own writings, you can find glimmers of the truth. It’s always buried deep in articles that mostly try to cover up administrative state and corporate malfeasance.
As far back as February, 2022, everyone in the scientific community, the medical community and mainstream corporate media knew the truth.
What is the real reason the CDC has lied to the American public about the data collected on the so-called COVID-19 ‘vaccine’?
“But the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.”

It’s hard to believe the depths of corruption in the Democrat Party until you remember the Democrat Party is the party of the Ku Klux Klan, the party of Jim Crow laws, the party of Tammany Hall. Its corruption reaches across the entire United States and has been a stain on America since its inception.

In the Serbo-Croat language the communists have a phrase for true democrats who consent to collaborate with them for “democracy.” It is Koristne Budale, or Useful Innocents.

Here is another of the real reasons the establishment hates President Donald Trump. “I don’t want their money. I’m going to do what’s right for the American public. . . and I’m the only one up here who can say that.” Donald Trump responding to donors who hated the fact he wanted transparency in politics for the American public, not a bought and paid for politician.
In 2016, the final chapter of a congressional report on the attacks was declassified. The document named people who knew the hijackers after they arrived in the U.S. and helped them get apartments, open bank accounts and connect with mosques. It said some hijackers had connections to, and received support from, people who may be connected to the Saudi government. The document said information from FBI sources suggested at least two people who assisted the hijackers may have been Saudi intelligence officers.
But it didn’t reach a conclusion on complicity, saying while it was possible the interactions could reveal proof of Saudi government support for terrorism, there were also possibly more innocuous explanations for the associations.
The FBI conducted its own investigation, Operation Encore, with some agents drawing a tighter link.
One former agent, Stephen Moore, stated in a 2017 declaration that al-Qaida wouldn’t have sent Hazmi and Mihdhar to the U.S. “without a support structure in place.” He said he believed Bayoumi was a “clandestine agent” and that Thumairy knew the hijackers “were on a complex pre-planned mission” that would involve the use of airplanes. He said he’d concluded that Saudi Arabian diplomatic and intelligence personnel had knowingly given support to two of the hijackers.
Families of the 9/11 victims are hoping to prove similar allegations. They believe the entire story has not been revealed because of the U.S. government’s reluctance for a full accounting. Any new evidence they might surface could be politically explosive given Saudi Arabia’s role as a Middle East partner.
Twenty-one family members and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks wrote to the White House on Monday, pleading with President Obama to release 28 classified pages from a congressional report into the al Qaeda strike.
The advocates implored Obama not to waste any time releasing the secret portion of a 2003 report that is believed to contain details linking the government of Saudi Arabia to 9/11.
{mosads}“Not a single day of further delay can be justified,” the survivors and family members wrote.
The advocates urged the Obama administration to go above and beyond those 28 pages and offer more sweeping evidence connecting the Saudi kingdom with the 2001 terror attack.
The 28 pages should be “only a first step in responding to the public calls for transparency and accountability,” they wrote.
“As you know, this September will mark the 15th anniversary of the horrific attacks that claimed the lives of our innocent loved ones, and transformed our nation and world,” they told the White House in their letter. “We know from our efforts since that day to pursue justice on behalf of our loved ones that individuals and institutions that bear culpability for their murders — many of them Saudi — have never been held to account.
“We are encouraged that you have initiated a process to address that injustice, and look forward to working with you and your administration in any way possible towards that goal.”
In addition to their letter, the 9/11 families gave the White House nine categories of records they believe should also be declassified, including records from the 9/11 Commission and documents connecting Saudi religious institutions to al Qaeda.
There has never been any conclusive proof tying senior levels of the Saudi government to al Qaeda ahead of 9/11, but scrutiny around a possible connection has lingered for years.
Saudi leaders have repeatedly rejected the allegations and have said that the pages should be released to quell any speculation.
Here are the files that President Trump fought to declassify. Just another action that removed the veil behind incompetence and lies of the Administrative State against the American people and our right to know what unelected officials are doing in our name.
Trump exposing how the highest level of law enforcement was used to protect the Bin Laden family is only one of the many reasons the administrative state hates President Donald J Trump.
According to the New York Times, the Bin Laden family WAS “driven or flown” to Texas and then Washington, BEFORE airports were opened for the rest of America,
“The young members of the bin Laden clan were driven or flown under F.B.I. supervision to a secret assembly point in Texas and then to Washington from where they left the country on a private charter plane when airports reopened three days after the attacks.”
When President Donald J Trump debated Jeb Bush, President Trump pointedly admonished the Bush Administration for flying the Bin Laden family out of the country. Following that debate, newspapers quickly came to rescue the establishment by stating the family was flown out of the country AFTER airports opened up. Actually, the FAA had issued and implemented a “stop and clear the airspace” (FAA National Archives) except for military operations and security of the President of the United States. . . . and, as Trump exposed, the Bin Laden Family.
“Two dozen members of Osama bin Laden’s family were urgently evacuated from the United States in the first days following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, according to the Saudi ambassador to Washington.”
Donald J Trump exposed the underbelly of the US Administrative state, and for doing so, is hated by the entrenched corrupt establishment. It’s a battle between corruption, greed, war profiteering and donors and lobbyists that look at our fellow Americans as mere fodder for their gaining power and wealth.
“In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.
That’s quite an understatement.
Actually, the kingdom’s involvement was deliberately covered up at the highest levels of our government. And the coverup goes beyond locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol basement. Investigations were throttled. Co-conspirators were let off the hook.
Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
Yet time and time again, they were called off from pursuing leads. A common excuse was “diplomatic immunity.”
