Donald Trump blasted Barack Obamas Iran nuclear agreement as the worst deal ever. It was sold to the American people on the lie that it would stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. But a new report reveals just how badly Obama lied about the deal.
As part of the deal, the Obama administration had to release seven Iranian prisoners. The Obama administration claimed the prisoners were not charged with being terrorists or for committing violent crimes.
Politico reports: When President Barack Obama announced the one-time gesture of releasing Iranian-born prisoners who were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses last year, his administration presented the move as a modest trade-off for the greater good of the Iran nuclear agreement and Tehrans pledge to free five Americans.
Iran had a significantly higher number of individuals, of course, at the beginning of this negotiation that they would have liked to have seen released, one senior Obama administration official told reporters in a background briefing arranged by the White House, adding that we were able to winnow that down to these seven individuals, six of whom are Iranian-Americans.
But this was a lie. Four of the prisoners were connected to Irans ballistic missile program.
Politico also reports: Three allegedly were part of an illegal procurement network supplying Iran with U.S.-made microelectronics with applications in surface-to-air and cruise missiles like the kind Tehran test-fired recently, prompting a still-escalating exchange of threats with the Trump administration. Another was serving an eight-year sentence for conspiring to supply Iran with satellite technology and hardware. As part of the deal, U.S. officials even dropped their demand for $10 million that a jury said the aerospace engineer illegally received from Tehran.
In addition, Obama released Seyed Abolfazl Shahab Jamili who had been charged with taking part in a conspiracy to acquire nuclear parts for Irans centrifuges.
ø was and is an enemy islamist Traitor. But instead of arresting him, he’s having a library built for him.
The greatest FRAUD ever perpetrated against the United States.
With all due respect, what was the lie?
Even STAFF at this blog don’t deny that those released were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses.
Click-bait headlines at the old americanpatriotdaily?
If there is any mooselimb woman that should be wearing a burka it is she.
It ALL started w/ Valerie Jarrett, who NOW lives in Michelle Obama’s home in D.C. They must have some interesting, .ie, horrible discussions about “ what’s next “ for how the 3 of those Skunks can hurt the U.S.A. even more.
Maybe Trey Gowdy will go after this....and fail.
She's a Real Reptile
Treason.
Pointed that out during the early debates. There was still a gaggle of hopefuls on stage. I remember asking which Senator standing at a podium voted for Corker? I felt at that instant Trump would win because EVERY one of the others were of the swamp. Including the good Senator from Texas. In other news President Trump said he now likes said Senator again. All is well?
Don’t forget he had a lot of help. The rinos could have stopped Obama in his tracks anytime they wanted. I believe most of the politicians and high ranking employees hate this country.
Funny how all this comes out 4 months after BO leaves office. He should have been impeached for all these crimes against the security of this country.
Valjar is charming like the baby-eating lizard alien in human form that she is.
He strikes me as the type that listens to the, “Here, sign this and here’s a teleprompter, say that.” kind of person.
He has a very obvious hatred for our country.
He looks like he’s trying not to show that he is happy, too.
And let’s hope and pray he will be shown to have failed in his concerted attempt to “fundamentally transform America.”
Dare I say, he operated at the same frenzied pace Trump does, only Obama was to all our detriment.
DC pols love the swamp more than America.
“Sadly the phony ‘constitutional conservative’ Ted Cruz was among the signers approving the anti-American, anti-Israeli, pro-terrorist, pro-Iranian, pro-Obama/Kerry scam”
Obama did not comply with the Corker bill when he brokered the deal with Iran. Corker-Cardin explicitly prohibited the President from removing any sanctions “prior to” disclosing the full Iran agreement to Congress.
The ending of sanctions by Obama was illegal and criminal, even under Corker.
Cruz had also proposed amendments to Corker that would have made accountability to Congress even greater.
While this was one of a handful of mistakes Cruz has made as a Senator, he is not a “phony” conservative. His votes prove otherwise.
You should take a good look at the record of other senators. You will then realize that Cruz is one of a small minority of REPUBLICANs who vote conservatively.
The endless attacks on Cruz because he almost beat Trump is the stupidest thing I have seen in my many years on Free Republic.
But there are plenty of naive people here who never can seem to get enough of attacking a pro-life, limited government, pro-family, pro-religious freedom conservative like Ted Cruz.
When you get rid of the 60+ % of REPUBLICAN senators who are liberal, I might have some interest in hearing about how we could do better than Cruz. Right now he is one of the best we have.
Never.
I find it odd that she lives with them. The woman has money so why does she have to shack up with them?
I guess she only wants to talk behind the mansion walls so they don’t have to worry about surveillance of any kind.
