Russiagate was not a hoax, as some conservative journalists call it. Rather, it was a purposeful extension of the Obama administration’s Iran Deal media campaign, and of the secret espionage operation targeting those opposed to Obama’s efforts to realign American interests with those of a terror state that embodies the most corrosive forms of anti-Semitism.

I beg to differ. It’s still a hoax. Just because a hoax has a strategic and purpose benefitting those who have mounted the plot behind the hoax does not change the fact it’s a hoax. It’s a conspiracy based on an elaborate web of lies intended to fool or hoax the public for nefarious purposes. It doesn’t matter who or why it was mounted beyond the nefarious and illegal motives intended to gain advantage through deception by fraud.

The entire Obama Presidency was a hoax

Trump and Kim sign agreement.

Kerry signs Iran 'deal' Notice anything missing?

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/iran-nuclear-deal-not-signed-document-not-binding/

How easy we forget. On November 19, 2015, the State Department sent a letter to then-Representative Mike Pompeo that severely undercuts the notion that the Iran deal represents any form of binding American commitment. It turns out that the Obama administration not only acknowledged that the deal wasn’t a treaty (obvious enough), but it also admitted that it wasn’t “an executive agreement” or even a “signed document.”

Great Read.

The only thing I have to add is that this was an abuse of power, one whichi may go unpunished because it does not villate any US statute?

What that means is that the left gets away with most of this fiasco.

What that means is that punishment will be left not to the courts, but to the hands of The People. As The People come to realize this fact, the lives of the perpetrators will becoe increasingly worthless.

"this was an abuse of power, one whichi may go unpunished because it does not violate any US statute"

18 U.S. Code § 242 comes to mind. Deprivation of rights under color of law.

Yes, thats right. But the powers that be will only go after thiose who have clear evidence and documentatiuon whichi reveal their crimes.

Obama , Biden, and the higher ups are proitected by the shadow of institutional legitimacy as “policy”

Short of a revolutionary coup, we will never be able to bring them all to justice.

Some abuses of power segue into simply bad policy on the part of elected officials. Short of ckear treason , there is litte we can do.

And Obama clearly engaged his power fully to always abuse it but comeing up just shoprt of clear treason, as he did in the Iran Deal , giving them pallet loads of US Greenbacks, used to attack the West.Many of us would like to see him stand before a firing squad, me included, for his treason.

But the Justice system cannot provide a remedy which needs to be political.Not that I do not want them to try, but we will see.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of tService. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

We can be contacted at judgment.fund@fiscal.treasury.gov or 202-874-6664.

Supposedly the JCPOA deal embraced the idea that about $100 Billion in frozen Iranian assets would be returned globally. Is the $1.3 Billion in your post the same as the $1.7 Billion “in debt and interest” Kerry said the USA was required to pay back to Teheran?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

standard vigorish (”vig”), “juice”, “points”, “finder’s fees” in mob run deals start at 10% and and goes up from there.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 50/50 cut on some of these NGO/IMF “grant” type skams

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

iirc, I read somewhere that the $1.4bb in cash & currency was actually delivery by multiple air planes to multiple (as many as 5 different) destinations????

fwiw.

but imo, lotta people got a taste of that pie & the big $140 bb pie too.

PS: they’ve come a long way from renting out the lincoln bedroom & getting grocery bags full of money orders.
