Over the weekend the Iranian regime executed Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist convicted of spying on behalf of the United States.
Iran executed a nuclear scientist convicted of spying for the United States, an official said Sunday, acknowledging for the first time that the nation secretly detained and tried a man who was once heralded as a hero.
Shahram Amiri defected to the U.S. at the height of Western efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear program. When he returned in 2010, he was welcomed with flowers by government leaders and even went on the Iranian talk-show circuit. Then he mysteriously disappeared.
How Amiri was exposed as a spy is still unclear, especially since he was praised by the Iranian government just a few years ago, but according to Kentucky Senator Tom Cotton his name was mentioned multiple times in emails by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her private, unsecured email server.
"I’m not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton’s private server, there were conversations among her senior advisers about this gentleman,” Cotton said during an interview on CBS News' Face The Nation Sunday morning.

In July when FBI Director James Comey announced charges would not be brought against Clinton for storing top secret, classified information on a private email server, which put the lives of human intelligence sources around the world at serious risk, he said although the FBI couldn't find evidence of a hack on the server, it would be difficult to tell if there had been a breach by professional and bad state actors. Essentially, he heavily implied a hack was likely to have occurred based on the extreme lack of security on Clinton's private email server.
This is the first indication that he was named (by name), unless the headline is wrong. He was referred to as “our friend,” etc., in what I saw yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yawn......Now on to the news of the day:
“TRUMP SINKS IN POLLS - IS HIS CAMPAIGN FINISHED?”
Join us at 11 for in-depth coverage of Donald Trump’s gaffes and our continuing investigative report on “White Privilege In America - Are Reparations The Answer?”
/s
at this point, what difference does it make?
He’s dead. And she probably didn’t intend for that to happen.
Can’t we get back to figuring out how to misinterpret the things Trump said over the weekend. Lots of people should be greatly offended by Trump with the right editing and editorializing.
/s
Yet another death because of Hillarys self centered, uncaring aloofness.
I blame Comey. He has a duty and pulled his punches so she could be President. I also blame every Republican elected official who does not endorse Trump as an acceptable alternative to Clinton.
Death and destruction.
Add another name to the Arkancide list
Questions for someone who really understands the details of this story:
Was his presence in the U.S. a well known fact?
Was there a public claim that he was providing information to the U.S. government while he was in the U.S.?
I have read both of these statements somewhere. If true then this is a non-story. If false it should be a big story.
Gosh.
Iran sure does take things serious.
Our spy Hillary is running for President.
At this point, what does it matter!!!!!!!
Katie Pavlich’s article states that Cotton is one of our (KY) senators. Cotton is an Arkansas senator. But I’d definitely trade him for one of our senators, preferably McConnell.
A fine example of how Hitlery would implement her “intelligence surge” if elected. Actions like this ought to have foreign nationals lining up around the block to join our intel operations.
And in other news, Hillary is running adds that claim that Trump is too dangerous and unpredictable to trust with national security. What a freakin joke.
(Obscure The Exploited reference...)
Fox Business just provided a teaser on this subject - including a picture of the guy - for their next segment on Hillary’s email scandal.
And yet Scooter Libby was convicted.
And yet Valerie Plame still lives.
The b!tch set me up!
