Trump frees Osama Bin Laden spokesman

So now it's freeing terrorist spokespersons?

Claiming he was too fat to keep locked up because he may catch CoVid and treating a really fat guy is hard.

(Did they learn this treating Trump?),
Releasing Adel Abdel Bary may not fly with most Americans. Consider this guy was the official spokesman of Osama Bin Laden, who Trump did not kill, although his administration decided to free him so he can eat some more, in his $1Million London home.

I'm sure the Brit's are delighted. But hey, we're safer now?

He will violate all norms legally, morally and societally between now and January 20th. He needs a padded cell and straight jacket.

Rump’s cash register will be jingling all through the holidays. What a rewarding season for him!

In 2015 Bary was sentenced to 25 years for his part in Al Qaeda bombings of embassies in Africa that occurred in 1998. He was credited with time served in Britain prior to his extradition to the US in 2012 and, as a result, he would have completed his sentence and been released on October 28. He was released 19 days early with the acquiescence of the prosecutors and on the order of Judge Lewis Kaplan (a Clinton appointee).
