Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is raising eyebrows after revealing on Benny Johnson’s conservative podcast that he’s pushing for a congressional hearing to examine the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.
Johnson, who serves on the the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, raised questions about the World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse, saying the documentary film, Calling Out Bravo 7 has sparked “an awful lot of questions.”
“Well, start with Building 7,” Sen. Johnson told Johnson. “Again, I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigations like NIST that would say that that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.”
“Who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence? Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures. I mean, who ordered that? Who is in charge? I think there’s some basic information. Where’s all the documentation from the NIST investigation?” the Wisconsin lawmaker continued.
“Now, there are a host of questions that I want and I will be asking, quite honestly, now that my eyes have been opened up,” he added.
Johnson said he plans to work with former Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA), who recently appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast to discuss 9/11, “to expose what he’s willing to expose.”
The senator’s comments prompted Johnson to ask: “So we may actually see hearings about this?”
“I think so,” the senator replied while referencing previous efforts to obtain unredacted FBI files on behalf of 9/11 families.
“We want to get those answers, those documents for the families,” the lawmaker replied. “Hopefully, now with this administration, we can find out what is being covered up.”
Sen. Johnson expressed optimism that the Trump administration will authorize the release of 9/11-related documents, despite prior unsuccessful efforts to declassify them.
“We want those made available in terms of what happened. What did the FBI know that happened? So we had engaged with that. It was on a bipartisan basis. We wanted to get those answers, those documents for the families,” Sen. Johnson said. “Again, we didn’t get squat from the FBI. So hopefully now with this administration, I think President Trump should have some interests being a New Yorker himself.”
“What actually happened in 9/11? What do we know? What is being covered up? My guess is there’s an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9/11,” he added.
Very interesting to say the least...

Larry Silverstein himself let is lip on TV that they 'had to pull it' when talking about building 7.

and let's assume the did pull it. Pulling a building like that takes weeks of prep work, not 2 hrs
so many things are off about 9/11, fire hot enough to melt steel columns, but yet, not hot enough to burn the passports of the hijackers, no plane debris at the pentagon, etc
The agencies knew it was going to happen, and maybe even participated in it.... it stinks on all sides
Of course the public deserves more investigation into this. Also on the Las Vegas massacre, which looks to me quite a bit more suspicious.
Still, from my admittedly limited vantage-point outside the game, this looks like a strategic error on Johnson's part. He should have stuck to his Covid-dissidence, and kept it separate from this.
