Obama Officials Manufactured Media Narrative Ahead Of Investigations Into Hezbollah Scandal
Daily Caller ^ | 12-22-2017 | Peter Hasson

The former Obama officials who manufactured a media “echo chamber” to sell the Iran deal are now working to undermine a bombshell report that revealed how former President Barack Obama’s administration derailed its own Drug Enforcement Agency’s efforts to stop Islamist terrorist group Hezbollah from developing a global narcotics syndicate.

The Obama administration gave Hezbollah a pass, according to a bombshell Politico piece, in order to protect the Iran deal — one of the few remaining pillars of Barack Obama’s legacy.

Two Republicans on the House oversight committee, Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan announced a congressional investigation into the scandal on Thursday, calling on the Department of Justice to release all documents on the subject.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes has spearheaded an effort to discredit the Politico report, attacking it as a made up right-wing conspiracy, even though Politico is a left-leaning news organization.

Other Obama officials, including former National Security Council officials Tommy Vietor and Ned Price, have mobilized to spin an exculpatory media narrative ahead of coming investigations into the scandal.

Organizations funded by the Ploughshares Fund, a left-wing donor group that helped the Obama administration manufacture positive Iran deal coverage, have pushed that same narrative smearing the Politico story.

We knew the Obama administration was aiding ISIS, now we know they were allied with Iranian terrorists as well.

I just finished listening to a podcast from the John Batchelor Show of his interview with David Asher, who was a liaison from some Special Ops with the DEA. In it, he ticks off the connections among the Colombian FARC, Chavez’s Venezuela, Lebanese bankers, Hezbuallah, and the Iranians, and sets up the timeline from the beginning of the investigation to when Obama cut it down to save his Iran nuclear deal. This was an operation that tracked the sale of cocaine and the subsequent laundering of the billions of dollars of money for Iran and Hezbuallah. He also takes a shot at the guy mentioned in this post.

This is well worth the 20 minute listen.

By the time this article was published Thursday evening — four days after the Politico report — The Washington Post, The New York Times and CNN and have combined for zero articles about the scandal.

How anybody see’s them as credible news organizations is beyond me.

There is so much corruption going on in Dc that “draining the swamp” might result in a ghost town, eventually. That would be a MAGA goal.

The pillars of Obama's legacy were as phony as the Greek columns at one of his "soaring rhetoric" teleprompter-dependent speeches.

O worked for the most anti- American forces in the world today - IslamONazism and of its most lethal aggressive types — Iran, hezbellah , plo-pa-abbas-Fatah. Hamas. And of course sorozNazi himself! Obama did a “good jobl” of weakening America our defenses allies economy jobs and morals. And he got away with funding and arming our Muslim terrorist enemies

Where does the US Department of State’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement fit into this legal problem? They are the diplomatic arm of International Drug Diplomacy.

What will the black community think about hearing that the U.S.’s first black president was facilitating the importation of cocaine into the black community?

If the MSM doesn’t cover it, it means it’s really bad for the dems and Obama. That’s the way I look at it.

Simply explain to them that it's about redistributing whitey's wealth to the drug cartels, with the benefit of jobs for young black drug dealers.

They'll never hear about it and if they do, it's something Trump's people made up. See....it's not even in the news.

Politico is "right-wing" now LOL. Maybe Ben Rhodes is so deluded he actually believes that.

Well, it worked for Hillary.......she told CBS the VRWC “made-up” the story about Saint Bill getting BJ’ed.

Of course, he later confessed after bobbon and weaving for months......just like the polls told him to do.
