First Battalion 8th Marine Corps families whose Marines were killed in the 1983 barracks bombing filed a lawsuit against Iran. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEZBOLLAH ATTACK.

My prayers go out to these families and our military families who have been betrayed once again by the traitors of the executive branch who negotiate with murderers and by doing so are complicit in all terrorist acts.

Who will file a lawsuit against the executive branch, v.p. included, for terrorism? If done, wait till after Boehner quits and be sure the next speaker of the house will make a good president for a year.

Ted Cruz pointed to the responsibility over this money as one of the options to hobble the Iran deal.

Each family was expected to receive about $5 million after attorney fees.

Seven hundred million in attorney fees?

**************
It certainly is. One cannot have any faith in a body that arbitrarily re-defines and re-writes laws. The USSC is a rogue, kangaroo court.
