Holder Did Not Consult NYC Officials or NYPD Before 9/11 Trial Decision
BySadly, this is just so typical of the way the Obama administration does things. How disgusting.
“There was no consultation, no consultation with the police department. That decision was made. We were informed,” [NYPD Commissioner Ray] Kelly said Tuesday.
When asked if the NYPD should have been asked about security and other considerations in advance of sending the accused terrorist to the scene of the attack, Kelly said,” The fact is we weren’t asked. And we will make the best of a situation. We weren’t.”
A spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg said the Mayor was only informed the morning Attorney General Eric Holder made his announcement.
Kelly said there are no new terror threats to New York City. But he added that moving “the trial here will do nothing to diminish that threat level.”
Attorney General Holder announced his decision on November 13 to hold the 9-11 trial in federal court in Manhattan. The courthouse is located just blocks from ‘Ground Zero.’
Holder has said he did not even consult the President before making his decision, but told the President the night before he went public with his decision. …
Sure, Obama knew nothing about Holder’s decision ahead of time. Yeah right.
