Obama’s Iran Deal Was Much Worse Than We Suspected

Obama’s Iran Deal Was Much Worse Than We Suspected

Barack Obama didn’t just undermine our allies with the Iran deal—he undermined his own Justice Department.

What if Donald Trump had unilaterally shut down every investigation into Russian espionage, released over 20 suspected Russian spies, struck a deal to get rid of sanctions against Russia—in return for honoring deals that had been signed years before—and then lied to the American people about the entire episode?

That’s the Obama Administration’s Iran deal. It might have been the first time the United States has offered extensive concessions to a nation that has continued to destabilize its interests, for nothing in return. But Barack Obama didn’t just support Iran’s position over our allies like Israel (no surprise there, considering his antagonism) or Sunni nations—he supported it ahead of his own Justice Department’s 30-year counterproliferation efforts.

According to an over 8,000-word investigation by Politico, Obama’s efforts to placate Iran includes releasing genuine spies (not the type we see behind every bowl of borscht these days) to a terror-supporting theocracy that has American blood on its hands and threatens the stability of the entire Middle East. Obama released Iranians who were allegedly part of an “illegal procurement network supplying Iran with U.S.-made microelectronics” that would help create surface-to-air and cruise missiles. Information that will come in handy. In seven years, “all the sanctions, even arms embargoes and missile-related sanctions… would all be lifted,” Hassan Rouhani correctly noted during the post-deal Iranian celebration.

According to Politico, the Justice Department dropped charges and international arrest warrants against 14 men, most of them alleged spies. At least one of them sought supplies for Iran’s proxy Hezbollah, a Justice Department-designated terrorist organization that is also allied to Bashar al-Assad.

What bammuy did was treason. He should be in jail for life. How did he obtain all that cash that he shipped to iran? He betrayed this country, and there were no consequences.

Politico (as cited within the article) -believe it or not- was the exclusive on this and has a very long article on this.

I'm sure ValJar was the driver of this deal, probably the one doing the "negotiating" (treasoning). This is why the Obamas wanted Flynn driven out of the Trump admin as he apparently knew a fair amount about what was in this deal and was willing to tell all. Of course, nothing will happen to the Obama Gang because the GOP are a bunch of candy-a$$ losers, so this probably the last we will hear of it.

So cite the blog post. The rules are you copy the title from the linked article. Truncate if necessary.

From the article:

"It seems increasingly plausible that Obama was hamstrung to act in Syria by the overriding need to avoid upsetting the Iranians (and Russians). That alone should be enough to count the Iran deal as a massive disaster. Yet, considering how little we know about what was in the deal, who knows what ugly things we’ll find out in the coming years."

Appeasement leads to War. Thanks Obama.

If ever one person dies from an Iranian nuclear weapon. . .

If FIRING SQUAD is good enough for the "What difference does it make" pant suit person, then it should also be good enough for her Boss Bammy also.

A former FBI assistant director who served during Bill Clinton’s presidency said Hillary Clinton should be “shot by firing squad for treason.“

Obama, Kerry and Iran can thank Sen. Corker's bill for giving them (unconstitutional) authority with out a Senate vote on "the deal".

They can also thank a majority of the Senate, including Ted Cruz (the pretend constitutional conservative) for signing the bill.

Now we've learned that Corker is dirty and I wonder what his and the signers payoff was for bringing that bill to the floor for a vote.

I hope they all rot in hell.

If no media, or politicians in Washington ,say the word treason, is it treason??

That is what we have come to. Being completely ruled by an evil oligarchy willing to do ANYTHING to get theirs and protect theirs.

Yes, it is treason and provably so. But no one says a word. Thank Gd Trump is in there, but we see how difficult this is for him. Prayers up.

Remember: Corker's Bill passed the Senate by 98 votes. (Only Cotton and Boxer did not vote for it; the former voting against, the latter not voting.)

I consider everyone who voted yea to be a traitor.
