OCTOBER 7 - ONE YEAR LATER Verdict Ep. 208.

Published | Video Starts at 06:55

And the charges were filed in February, but they were kept under seal. And the precise language of the Department of Justice complaint is, quote, as of the date of this complaint, At least 43 American citizens were among those murdered, and at least 10 American citizens were taken hostage or remain unaccounted for. Wow. And look, I wanted to go through those numbers because it's easy, easy. And a lot of the news coverage will allide over what actually happened. 1200 people murdered. (06:55–07:15)
