Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and other Democratic senators had a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week, according to a source briefed by the French delegation to the conference. Murphy’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment by press time.
Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Murphy said in 2017 after anonymous leaks of Flynn’s phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak were published. He also strongly criticized the open letter some Republican senators sent Iranian leaders during the Obama administration’s campaign for a nuclear agreement.
However, Murphy has previously defended rogue meetings if they’re done by Democrats such as former Secretary of State John Kerry.
“Unless it was authorized by the president or secretary of state, conducting independent foreign policy sends mixed signals to our adversaries,” said Christian Whiton, former State Department senior advisor in the Trump and George W. Bush administrations. “It seems very unpalatable. If we want to talk to Iranians, they know how to reach us and they don’t need to go through an intermediary.”

ALSO, PAMGELLERREPORT:
We should really pay attention to Molly.
She is a superb reporter.
I hope she pursues this.
Traitors all of them.
“Get the ropes out” is thrown around here way too haphazardly.
I’ve never said it.
You know what?
People need to start paying the ultimate price for plotting against the POTUS and the US.
Get the ropes out.
No worry Sen Murphy, W Barr’s got yo six -
The word TREASON has lost what it once was. So much has been overlooked and given a pass in the past years, there is no justice equal to the crimes of the elite in Washington... on the otherhand.. there is no justice for them, period!
What these dems did is tanamount to treason and it should have been in the knowledge, from past experiences and knowledge, that you just don’t go and meet with foreign governments when you are not the President of the United States.. where is the fear in those senators to go and do that!! with iran, even!!
They dare anyone to try to stop them... after all, they are special and can do whatever they want... yeah, right!!!
The ENEMY. No trying to hide it at all.
This includes Nanzi going to Syria (remember that?).
In before the pearl clutching concern trolls....3...2...1
Mollie is one of my favorites and I appreciate her innate ability to cut into any subject with no spin and no fear. I love watching her on a panel with Fox because she demolishes idiots with the same impatience I have for them.
She is worth bookmarking as are Strassel, Solomon, VDH, Attkinson, Goodwin, and a few others.
All very good, very great people.
Makes you proud to be American, volunbeer.
Have one on me.
Who else beside Murphy? We need to out the traitors.
I’ve now seen this printed by several sources in the last hour.
Praying these traitors finally get their comeuppance. I know, I know... Don’t hold my breath.
Every person who voted for the coup.
Traitors must swing.
He is in pure violation of the Logan Act.
This is ridiculous, I’m getting sick of the left believing they are above the law, when are we the people going to see justice or even equal punishment?
