In case you missed it over the weekend, National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes admitted in a lengthy New York Times Magazine profile that the Obama administration used the media to manipulate and lie to the American people about the nuclear deal with Iran. Here is one of the lies pushed by the administration, which David Reaboi highlighted yesterday at The Federalist.
First, the lies and the denials about the negotiations. It took months before a few dogged journalists started to ask questions about the talks Obama officials were engaged in with Ahmadinejad’s regime. In February 2013, then-State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland flatly denied “direct, secret bilateral talks with Iran.” Republicans on Capitol Hill were nervous about the rumors, but the media was willing to accept the State Department’s denial. The secret negotiations with Iran also alarmed America’s allies in Jerusalem, who had also been kept in the dark about their closest ally’s clandestine meetings with their most potent adversary.
Nuland’s successor, Jen Psaki, would later admit that, as Fox’s James Rosen reported, “the meetings stretched back to 2011.”
After the administration was caught lying, thanks to Rhodes, the State Department deleted video footage in the archives of the exchange Reaboi discusses. Fox News James Rosen reported on the deletion last night.
Rosen: Obama Administration Extensively Deceived Public, Media to Sell Iran Nuclear Deal
As Rosen notes, the State Department is working on restoring the footage.
UPDATE: The State Department is arguing the footage of the exact statement under scrutiny went missing because of a "glitch."
State Dept.: Missing Video Potentially Showing Iran Deal Deception Was a ‘Glitch’
You are correct, Boehner was in charge and Ryan was #2 Man in the party, which makes him just as culpable as Boehner. I blame ALL OF THEM!
Seems that anything Hillary touched at State turned to doo doo and if it didn’t, it disappeared.
“it disappeared”... to include $6,000,000 she lost somewhere... Follow the money since it probably leads right to the Clinton Foundation.
Yesterday when I read we had glitches,it rattled me to the core. I was for sure we had another gender
The United States of America doesn’t have any “deal” with Iran.
Egad, you're right! I identify as a Glitch and I wanna use somebody else's crapper!
I have never understood social activism...
Catch up to the FBI presser,indirectly , sorta, Comey sent a message

Allowing? ... Actually they are enabling it all because they fund it all knowing what they are funding ... presumably.
