White House Democrats have a history of fighting against terror victims suing Islamic terrorists. A decade ago, 9/11 families sued the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Iran. The court found that the Islamic terrorists were responsible and a judgement of $6 billion was handed down. The verdict was described as "symbolic" at the time
Biden officially announced that he was splitting the $7 billion between the families of the victims and a "trust fund" to provide "humanitarian aid" for the people of Afghanistan
- What Biden actually did was take the money off the table for 9/11 victims
- Officials admitted that the money could actually be used for matters other than humanitarian aid
The Biden administration has maintained a deliberately ambiguous position for Afghanistan's central bank as being both under and not under Taliban control
- This allows the Biden administration to use the financial institution as a vehicle and to restrict its access at the same time.
- The bank's leadership, a mixture of terrorists and wonks linked to the former government, maintains that same calculated ambiguity.
Biden wants to reserve all $7 billion for the terrorists, and so he has to hold off
- If Biden releases the money to the Afghanistan bank before that happens, the 9/11 families will be able to argue that the administration is contradicting its own position.
- Biden is unable to do that until he thoroughly defeats the 9 /11 families in court.
