Obama Admin Hid Intel on Iranian Militants in Syria to Push Nuclear Deal
Washington Free Beacon ^

Posted on 08/29/2017 1:26:53 PM PDT by detective

The Obama administration likely hid information about Iran illicitly ferrying militants into Syria on commercial aircraft in order to promote the landmark nuclear deal and foster multi-billion dollar business deals with Tehran's state-controlled airline sector, according to lawmakers and other sources familiar with the matter.

The Washington Free Beacon first disclosed last week that congressional leaders are calling for an investigation into Iran for using its state-controlled air carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militant fighters into Syria, where they are taking up arms in defense of embattled President Bashar al-Assad.

Photographs provided to Congress show Iran using Iran Air to ferry these soldiers between 2016 and 2017, in part when the Obama administration removed sanctions on Iran Air and promoted multi-billion dollars sales between the carrier and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which is seeking to provide Iran Air with a fleet of new planes that many suspect will be used to carry terrorist fighters and weapons into regional hotspots.

This is an excellent article.

This dishonesty by the Obama administration officials certainly rises to the level criminal activity and probably treason.

Too bad we don’t have a justice system to deal with it.

Since we’ve entered the twilight zone it’s impossible to know where’s the threshold for treason, but how much more do we need to hear? We either agree on a limit or admit that Obama is immune to the law and the Constitution.

Note that McMaster was part of the Obama Administration that knew about Iran in Syria. McMaster and Mattis still push the Iran deal today.

Folks, this will all be over when Trey Gowdy states, “This is terrible!”

Because, as we all know, nothing ever gets beyond a simple statement when the Republicans control all the Congress and the Presidency.

Many of them are collaborators who should face justice themselves for aiding the enemy.

“To fight Assad and those that supported the Syrian leadership & military. Let’s be clear on this !!”

From the article:

“Iran for using its state-controlled air carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militant fighters into Syria, where they are taking up arms in defense of embattled President Bashar al-Assad.”

Iran sent troops to fight for Assad. Obama spent taxpayer money to Syria to train, arm and fund what became ISIS.

Yep, and the criminals know they can get away with just about anything they want without punishment. Most Americans either don't get a rat's @ss or have more than enough to deal with in their own personal lives.

This isn't the 1700s or 1800s. No more Revolutionary or Civil wars going forward. And the deep state knows this, until proven otherwise.

Mullah McMaster and Rex have pushed Trump into breaking his promise and keeping us in the dreadful Iran deal. We still don’t know what’s in it. We do know in a few years Iran can legally start making nukes. Once that starts it will make the norks look like a kid ringing your doorbell.

Only one example of the many times Obama and his minions lied, and covered things up.

There is no such thing as treason anymore. Our government refuses to see it.The very core of our republic and society is rotting away.

Giving Iran the capacity for nuclear weapons has given a death sentence to millions. I guess the Mullahs will decide who will be nuked and when. I think they are more fanatical and suicidal than North Korea.
