The Biden administration punched a massive hornet's nest earlier this week with regard to a plea deal with some of the worst individual enemies of the United States in history.
Earlier this week, the country was stunned to learn that Biden's Department of Justice had the audacity to strike up a plea deal with some of the terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks.
According to The Daily Wire, not surprisingly, the announcement brought unbelievably extreme backlash, causing the administration to go back on the deal rather quickly.
Not only was the deal canceled, the person behind making the deal was "relieved" from duty.
The cases at Guantanamo Bay, where the infamous 9/11 terrorists have been held, were overseen by retired Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier.
According to the outlet, "her team entered into pretrial agreements with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsaw."
The deal allows the terrorists, who killed nearly 3,000 people on that history-changing day in America, to avoid the death penalty for pleading guilty to killing 2,976 Americans.
Instead of the death penalty, the terrorists would only have to serve life in prison, and not answer for their crimes against this nation.

The Daily Wire noted:
By removing Escallier, Austin assumed authority over the case and immediately canceled the agreement, meaning the death penalty is back on the table, following days of public backlash against the Biden-Harris Administraiton.
Many top members of Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) slammed the Biden administration for allowing the deal to even become a thought, let alone reality.
"The Biden-Harris Administration’s weakness in the face of sworn enemies of the American people apparently knows no bounds," the Senate GOP leader said.
He added, "The only thing worse than negotiating with terrorists is negotiating with them after they are in custody. The families of their victims and the American people deserve real justice."
Several other members of Congress torched the Biden administration over the deal, as well they should have. What a disgrace it was to even be mentioned.
