Congress Demands DOJ Turn Over All Docs Related to Obama Scheme to Nix Hezbollah Terror

Congress investigating former administration's efforts to appease Iran

Congress instructed the Department of Justice on Thursday to turn over all documents and communications that may be related to newly disclosed efforts by the Obama administration to handicap an investigation into the terror group Hezbollah and its Iranian benefactors, according to a letter sent to Attorney General Jeff Sessions obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The letter represents the first salvo in a new investigation by congressional leaders into allegations senior Obama administration officials thwarted a decade-long Drug Enforcement Agency investigation into Hezbollah's illicit operations.

The Obama administration, in what congressional insiders described to the Free Beacon as a "potentially criminal" enterprise, interfered with the DEA's investigation into Hezbollah drug activities in order to avoid angering the terror group's chief patron Iran and preserve the landmark nuclear deal.

"I've long believed that the Obama administration could not have done any more to bend over backwards to appease the Iranian regime, yet news that the Obama administration killed the investigation into a billion dollar drug ring that lined the terrorist group Hezbollah's pockets in order to save its coveted Iran deal may very well take the cake," DeSantis said.

It’s called a “subpoena”. Start issuing them en masse.

At this point if you’re not sending in the Marines, then you be playing games. Raid the place, don’t be nice about it, or it will be all hidden under the rug. Deep, dark state; thinks it can hide any monstrosity it wants to.

the very first (and long overdue) step at cleaning up the awful stench of the illegal immigrant’s occupancy of our White House

This is how our government is supposed to work. For all of the hatred and anger, it is fuel for getting to the truth and keeping our leadership honest.

Trump has certainly been under tremendous scrutiny and leaks.

Now it is Obama’s turn.

Also, is this similar to Iran-Contra? Seems like Reagan was grilled and people charged.

Lots of Patriots in the DOJ who will see this does not happen.

Do you think the Congress did this just out of the blue?

They already know most of what they will get.

They probably have most of the documents already.

That makes it hard to destroy them or refuse them.

The Deep Staters do not know what is known, and what is not.

Serious felonies in obstructing justice by hiding or destroying subpoenaed materials.

It is extremely difficult to make sure you have destroyed all copies of digital docs.

Jarrett and Obama and Rhodes let Hezbollah traffic drugs into the USA. And US life expectancy went down, 2 years running, from drug overdoses.

For real.

PRISON!!!

So, Obama dabbled in being a gun runner and a drug kingpin.

All the records will have been “lost.” The reason will be given as “a computer glitch.”

Not putting you down. After close to two decades of hope and no joy re the Clintons, the Obamas and now the thugs in the DOJ/FBI, I am releasing my boom gigs.

Hopefully, this will turn out to be real, and Boom!, it begins!

However, until then, I post my normal response to these feel good stories:
