Spray. Wipe. Rinse. >>> THIS MORNING THE PRESIDENT >>> THIS MORNING THE PRESIDENT IS FACING MOUNTING SCRUTINY AFTER PLANNING AND THEN ABRUPTLY CANCELING A SECRET MEETING WITH THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT AND THE TALIBAN THAT WAS SET TO TAKE PLACE SUNDAY AT CAMP DAVID DAYS BEFORE THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 TERROR ATTACKS. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP ULTIMATELY MADE THE DECISION. HE SAYS I WANT TO TALK TO PRESIDENT GOTTI. I WANT TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE. >> AND INSISTING CAMP DAVID WAS AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION TO HOST THE TALIBAN, A GROUP WHICH HARBORED THE AL-QAEDA TERRORIST BEHIND THE SEPTEMBER 11th ATTACKS. >> IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD THE GRAND IDEA OF OPENING CAMP DAVID TO HOST THE TALIBAN ON THE WEEK OF 9/11. THAT WAS HIS BIG IDEA FOR HOW TO COMMEMORATE THE 9/11 ANNIVERSARY LAST YEAR, INVITE THE TALIBAN TO CAMP DAVID. EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS ULTIMATELY ABRUPTLY CANCELED AS THE COUNTRY COLLECTIVELY SHOT COFFEE OUT ITS NOSE AFTER LEARNING THAT WAS HIS BIG IDEA, THIS YEAR THE PRESIDENT HAS BIRTHED A COUSIN TO THAT GENIUS IDEA. AT A NEWS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th, THE PRESIDENT BRAGGED, QUOTE, WE’RE GETTING ALONG VERY, VERY WELL WITH THE TALIBAN. "THE WASHINGTON POST" THEN REPORTED THAT SIX TALIBAN PRISONERS WERE RELEASED FROM AFGHAN CUSTODY YESTERDAY. THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT DID NOT WANT TO LET THEM GO BECAUSE OF WHAT THESE PRISONERS WERE ACCUSED OF, BUT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, INSISTED. THREE OF THOSE SIX TALIBAN PRISONERS FREED YESTERDAY ARE ACCUSED OF KILLING U.S. TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND SO-CALLED INSIDER ATTACKS. THESE TYPE OF ATTACKS OCCUR WHEN TALIBAN MEMBERS INFILLTRATE SECURITY FORCES AND TURN ON SOLDIERS. EVEN AS THESE PRISONERS ACCUSED OF KILLING AMERICAN SOLDIERS WERE BEING RELEASED AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT YESTERDAY, RELEASED BECAUSE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION INSISTED THAT THEY BE RELEASED ON THE EVE OF 9/11 PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS AT THAT MOMENT CROWING ABOUT HOW GREAT HE GETS ALONG WITH THE TALIBAN AND OF COURSE THERE IS ALWAYS MORE. TODAY WE WOKE UP TO THE NEWS FROM THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN SECRETLY WITHHOLDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE FDNY 9/11 HEALTH PROM. FDNY IS THE NEW YORK CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT DESIGNED TO TREAT FIREFIGHTERS AND MEDICS WHO GOT SICK BECAUSE THEY WORKED THE PILE AT 9/11. APPARENTLY THE TRUMP TREASURY DEPARTMENT STARTING NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO, THEY JUST STARTED SKIMMING SOME OF THE MONEY. THEY JUST STARTED MYSTERIOUSLY WITHHOLDING PORTIONS OF THAT FUND. CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER FOR THE FDNY SAYING THE MONEY WAS JUST DISAPPEARING WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION. HE ADDED, HERE WE HAVE SICK WORLD TRADE CENTER-EXPOSED FIREFIGHTERS AND EMS WORKERS WHEN THE CITY IS HAVING DIFFICULT FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO COVID-19, AND WE’RE NOT GETTING THE MONEY WE NEED TO TREAT THESE HEREOES. WE NEVER EVER RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING US THIS. THEY HAVE JUST BEEN TAKING THE MONEY AND KEEPING IT FOR THEMSELVES FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS. AND WE FIND OUT TODAY. TODAY OF ALL DAYS.
