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.

It was frozen Iranian assets from 1979 -- with interest.

Obama belongs in GITMO. How could ONE MAN unilaterally do so much damage and funnel BILLIONS to Iran yet TRUMP CAN'T EVEN GET FUNDING FOR A STINKIN' WALL?

Prosecute Obama and throw him in prison FOR LIFE.

The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.

Who approved of this? It is ludicrously insane.

Yes, that is incredible. At least it was in the Federalist and Levin is talking about it. I heard he's going to have the author, Sean McCabe, on his show soon. This is so big, it's either being suppressed or not enough people have seen it yet. MSM? I'm not holding my breath.

Actually broke on Monday, but yes, it's recent.

Spread the word. Every American needs to hear about this. Hopefully Sessions can file charges for sedition and treason.

In the interview with the author, he said Kerry was spending his last days in office going world wide drumming up business for Iran. Assuring other countries and their companys that Iran was open for business, all sanctions had been lifted.

Why? Why did they do this with an avowed enemy of Israel and America? What was the end game? Can anyone tell us?

I am a Bible believer and I believe they were set up as pawns in the ongoing spiritual warfare between God and Satan. As a student of end times, Persia and Russia team up and do fight in the final battle of Armageddon. Russia and Persia (Iran) are definitely end time players, ultimately destroying the earth itself.

The next investigative article someone needs to write, is how many convicted criminals has Obama ultimately released worldwide? Hundreds from Guantanamo, thousands of illegals from prison during the government shutdown, a thousand early release prisoners commuted by Obama at the end of his term, the 21 Iranains charged or convicted international arms and weapons dealers, any more anyone can think of?

I'm sure ValJar was the driver of this deal

Do you think that Hussein Obama was simply a useful idiot?

The answer is really quite obvious.

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia.

Obama's father and step father were Muslim.

Hussein did everything he could to infest the US gov't with Muslims.

Hussein flooded the US with Muslims from nations in conflicts where Hussein worked to fan the flames.

One of the reasons Americans are so easily fooled by the Obama scam is that they are waiting for the NY SLIMES to tell them the truth. That will never happen.
