I believe that if they are holding secret talks it is about how to shut this thing down quietly to avoid putting half the beltway in jail if the sword of justice starts swinging.

“Actually this is not the first time Politico has done investigative journalism regarding barry’s administrtion. Interesting and very critical article:
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/24/obama-iran-nuclear-deal-prisoner-release-236966
From the article:
...But Obama, the senior official and other administration representatives weren’t telling the whole story on Jan. 17, 2016, in their highly choreographed rollout of the prisoner swap and simultaneous implementation of the six-party nuclear deal, according to a POLITICO investigation.
In his Sunday morning address to the American people, Obama portrayed the seven men he freed as “civilians.” The senior official described them as businessmen convicted of or awaiting trial for mere “sanctions-related offenses, violations of the trade embargo.”
In reality, some of them were accused by Obama’s own Justice Department of posing threats to national security. 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.”
Thanks Jane...
Sorry for the belated reply but you being a Noob I first had to consider whether you could be trusted with this vital information ... ;-)
I saw the post, read it, considered bookmarking/replying but got distracted and the ‘ol laptop has been reset but I did glance back though my history without success.
FReepmail me if this is of import and worse case I’ll give you a guaranteed method to get a hold of our President’s attention.
Legally of course.
