BREAKING: Congress Urged to Investigate Obama’s Dirty Deals With Iran
Truthfeed News ^ | December 19, 2017 | By Eren Moreno

Things are not looking good for Obama, after Politico’s bombshell expose, which detailed how the former president let Hezbollah off the hook for their many crimes, in order to cement a disastrous nuclear deal with Iran.

Now, Republican Congressman Robert Pittenger sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, urging an investigation into the Obama administration for protecting Hezbollah.

From Fox News

A Republican congressman on Monday urged the House to look into a report the Obama administration held up a Drug Enforcement Administration task force’s investigation into Hezbollah’s drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations, all to ensure the Iran nuclear deal remained on track.

After the bombshell exposé in Politico Sunday revealed that Obama administration officials road-blocked the campaign of the task force, Project Cassandra, to curtail the Lebanese militant group’s criminal activities, Rep. Robert Pittenger of North Carolina sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy.

“These revelations are shocking and infuriating,” Pittenger said in a statement to Fox News. “While American soldiers were bravely fighting ISIS terrorists, with some paying the ultimate price, the Obama administration reportedly was protecting Hezbollah terrorists who were funding themselves by trafficking illegal drugs. No wonder President Obama couldn’t bring himself to call them ‘Radical Islamist Terrorists.’”

Politico reported that the red tape against Project Cassandra allowed Hezbollah to evolve into a major global security threat bankrolling terrorist and military operations.

When Project Cassandra leaders, who were working out of a DEA’s Counter facility in Chantilly, Virginia, sought approvals for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, Justice and Treasury Department officials delayed, hindered or rejected their requests, according to Politico.

Many many eggs will be broken open once the House and Senate make their votes. The focus can then go to other “matters”.

Why are liberal outlets clobbering the left lately?

The FBI, now obummer.

The Times? Politico?

Is it because they know nothing will happen or because they are willing to throw some under the bus to get Trump?

Fighting Sunni ISIS while at the same time helping Shia Hezbolla isn't conflicting goals, it's alignment with the Shias and Iran.

Here we go again. This is becoming such a bad movie that we all the ending:
1. Congress is outraged;
2. Calls for hearings;
3. Committee hearings produce lots of chest-thumping; and
4. Nothing gets down.

YUP, and considering how much Obama and his pals love jihadists, there were probably some actual Hizbullah members in the Obama admin. In any case, there most certainly were Muslim and leftist apologists for terrorists, who were put into key intel and security positions. They wrecked the training programs for Homeland Security etc. with their fake political correctness and worse.
