Let's see if the right wing begins to foam at the mouth and starts their usual outrage over having Al Quaeda brought stateside for trials rather than Guantanamo a big deal to them when Obama suggested it. Also, this is against Sessions wishes so Sessions is in effect being given more signs by Trump that he can go jump off a bridge.

Breaking From Campaign Rhetoric, Trump Brings Terrorism Suspect to U.S. for Trial

PHILADELPHIA — The Trump administration has brought a Qaeda suspect to the United States to face trial in federal court, backing off its hard-line position that terrorism suspects should be sent to the naval prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, rather than to civilian courtrooms.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has repeatedly said that terrorism suspects should be held and prosecuted at Guantánamo Bay. Mr. Sessions said that terrorists did not deserve the same legal rights as common criminals and that such trials were too dangerous to hold on American soil. With Mr. Damache’s transfer, Mr. Sessions has adopted a strategy that he vehemently opposed when it was carried out under President Barack Obama.

Congress went out of their way to block Obama from trying Gitmo detainees on US soil

*Cackle* at Sessions being undermined at every turn.

He just wanted to do some racism, y'all.

Using national security and justice issues involving terrorists to resolve his own personal butthurt.

What a fucking tourist.

Maybe Trump will get as angry at Sessions as he was at Obama. Would be pretty nice if he did the opposite of everything Sessions wants.

It'll be interesting to see Trump supporters celebrate this and claim they've always been against Guantanomo Bay.

Watch them also say the republicans were trying to shut it down and Obama wouldn't let them.

I mean, now you can barely find someone who voted for Bush and supported the Iraq war.
