Hillary Clinton claimed surprising ignorance of a bill she should be intimately acquainted with as a former secretary of state and New York senator. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos brought up the legislation introduced by Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, which would allow 9/11 victims to sue state sponsors of terror for the attack that took nearly 3,000 lives in 2001. "Your senior senator here in New York, Chuck Schumer has sponsored a bill backed by the 9/11 families that would give them the right to sue state sponsors of terror in federal court," he said Sunday on "This Week." "Now,...
 
Hillary has not been secretary of State for 4 years and I would not expect her to know about a bill from Schumer introduced just weeks ago, however Bernie IS A SENATOR and should have KNOWN about it!

Clinton, Sanders support bill to let 9/11 kin sue Saudis

The two Democratic presidential candidates are in outright rebellion against the Obama administration’s efforts to scuttle a bill that would allow families of loved ones killed in the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.

The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this year, would take away immunity from foreign governments in cases “arising from a terrorist attack that kills an American on American soil.”

Initially, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders said they were unfamiliar with the legislation even though it has been pending for weeks. But then both issued strong statements Sunday backing the legislation co-sponsored by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican.


“Obviously, we’ve got to make anyone who participates in or supports terrorism pay a price, and we also have to be aware of any consequences that might affect Americans, either military or civilian or our nation,” Clinton said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Later, her campaign released a more definitive statement saying families and victims of terror need to “hold accountable those responsible. As President, she’d work to Congress on that end.”

Sanders also first said he needed time to review the legislation and then issued a statement staunchly supporting the bill.

“I support legislation by Sen. Chuck Schumer that would allow Americans, including the families of victims of the 9/11 attacks, to use U.S. courts to determine if foreign entities are culpable for terrorist attacks in the United States and seek restitution for the damages and lives lost,” it said.

He went a step further, urging the Obama administration to “declassify the 28-page conclusion of the 9/11 Commission Report on the potential sources of foreign support received by the hijackers.”

Florida Sen. Bob Graham says Saudi Arabia’s threat to pull $750 billion from the U.S. economy “says something about Saudi Arabia’s involvement in 9/11.”
SAUDI ARABIA THREATENS TO PULL $750B FROM U.S. ECONOMY IF CONGRESS ALLOWS THEM TO BE SUED FOR 9/11 TERROR ATTACKS

The Saudi Arabian government has threatened to sell $750 billion in Treasury securities and other assets in the United States should the U.S. Congress pass a bill that could hold the kingdom responsible for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a New York Times report. It’s a move many of the 9/11 families see as blackmail.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, who co-chaired a joint congressional investigation into the attacks, charged Saudi officials were worried their ties to the World Trade Center terrorists would be revealed during a trial if the bill were passed.

We now know Bernie's and Hillary's position...

what's trump's and cruz's position on the bill? Anything said about that?
 
It reminds me of Palin not knowing what the "Bush Doctrine" was.

The media ridiculed her unmercifully.
