9/11 Commission suspected deception by the Pentagon

[RG911Team] Even if you don’t understand the laws of physics, you can still understand that we were lied to about 9/11 in a massive way.

Just ask the 9/11 Commission members.

6 out of the 10 commissioners, Kean and Hamilton, as well as Bob Carey Tim Roemer John Lehman and Max Cleland have all expressed concern that the commission was misled, stymied, hampered by conflicts of interest, and ultimately forced to participate in a politically motivated cover-up.  In their book, Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 911 Commission and in press conferences and interviews at the time the report was released, Kean and Hamilton famously remarked that "the commission had been set up to fail."

Max Cleland, 1942-2021, was originally appointed to serve on the 9/11 commission but resigned shortly after having been appointed to the board of directors of the export-import Bank of the United States before his resignation he said that the Bush Administration was stonewalling and blocking the committee's access to key documents and Witnesses.

00:42. Even Lee Hamilton the co-chair of the 9/11 commission itself admits to us that the process he headed up was seriously flawed.

So there are all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail we got started late we had a very short time frame indeed we had to get it extended we did not have enough money they were afraid we were going to hang somebody.

Kean, 01:07.  But it was very difficult.   Lee and I write in our book that we think the Commission, in many ways, was set up to fail.

01:16. As it turns out, the majority of the commissioners felt that the Commission had been lied to, deliberately obstructed, undermined by the White House, or set up with staff that had conflicts of interest in the investigation.  One of these concern commissioners Max Cleland resigned because the commission had been "deliberately compromised by the president of the United States."  

Commissioner John Lehman meanwhile admitted on NBC Nightly News that the commission had to go through Karl Rove and other senior White House members to access key documents in their investigation and that "We purposely put together a staff that had in a way conflicts of interest," stressing lest there be any doubt that "All of the staff had to a certain extent some conflicts of interest."

Commission members even considered bringing criminal charges against Pentagon officials who had deliberately lied to them about the military's complete lack of response on that day.
