Iran: One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system. A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.
[snip] Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block ( this nuclear deal), we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.
[snip]It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.
That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.
[snip]Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it.

No traction, no prosecution, no coverage...
Amazing how many traitorous crimes were committed by the Left and some republicans, but they are muted trees falling in a forest.
Was it ever really a secret? It appeared to me that he did whatever he wanted, knowing that he would never be held accountable because:
1. Most of the Republican Party was in agreement with what he was doing
2. He could always play the race card and they were scared sh*tless of that and the storm it would bring.
Regardless, he got away with whatever he wanted and the people have been cashing that check for a long time, now, and will continue to do so.
It’s interesting, for years we’re led to believe that the people running these gigantic corporations are the best and the brightest. They climbed the corporate ladder thru hard work. That’s why they get paid the big bucks. And then you read this and you have to wonder, who in the f*ck authorized that money?
Only an absolute moron would agree to fork over that kind of cash, especially when the “library” is under so much scrutiny, to listen to an even bigger moron read from a teleprompter.
It’s as if they think he just might have some sway with the current occupant of the White House, who has been busy, trying to undo all the damage Moron #1 did for 8 years.
$5.7 billion... that would have paid for The Wall.
The reaction Michelle O got at the Grammys... if she runs, she just might win. UGH
I keep wondering why no one brings this up about Obama ...

The thought of that is mind numbing.
Don’t know if you had the same reaction , but looking at “ her” standing next to the other females on stage it appeared to me she was more manlike than any of them.
Looked like a pro football player standing next to a bunch of high school cheerleaders

Well summarized. Blame the MSM who fawned over him and would never do the deep dive on who and what he really is...
Contrast that will all things “ Trump” and we see the dual standard exposed....
Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.
It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.
He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 - linchpin of our missile defense - might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.
Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.
The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."
"In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as 'non-binding' and that 'my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.'
Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.
Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we've deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.
Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy's Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.
The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the "early intercept" phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3's secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.
The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan's dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.
Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

Given the venue, I'd compare the above, roughly, to the adulation for that monster Gosnell at a Planned Parenthood Infanticide conference.
Not saying it's impossible, but I'd surely hope to be back among the stardust before then.
I keep wondering why no one brings this up about Hilary.
BTTT!
