Pinkerton: John Kerry Isn’t the First Massachusetts Democrat Accused of Assisting an Enemy
Breitbart ^ | 4/27/2021 | James P. Pinkerton

Posted on 04/27/2021 6:05:02 PM PDT by bitt

The news about John Kerry is startling. The former U.S. senator from Massachusetts and secretary of state, now President Joe Biden’s climate czar, is accused of leaking sensitive—possibly classified—information to an enemy power, Iran.

The accusation surfaced in a news story about the supposedly off-the-record comments by Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, made in March to an Iranian journalist, who recorded the conversation in a three-hour audio file. Zarif’s words were leaked to a London-based Iranian publication called Iran International, and then the New York Times ran with the story on April 25.

While offering a candid commentary about an internal power struggle in Iran, Zarif made an interesting aside about information he received from John Kerry, as the Iranian news site explained:

The audio file received by Iran International contains only one brief sentence from Zarif, where complaining about the power of the Revolutionary Guard over Iran’s foreign affairs he asks rhetorically, “Should Kerry tell me that Israel has conducted more than 200 attacks [air strikes] against us in Syria?”

Zarif does not say when Kerry made the remark — during his tenure as secretary of state or after the Trump administration took office. This would make a big difference if Kerry were to stand accused of divulging intelligence to Zarif. As Secretary, it would sound perhaps part of a diplomatic dialogue, where Kerry could be questioning Iran’s deep involvement in the Syrian war. But if he is having a conversation with Zarif as a private citizen, with some access to US intelligence, and is discussing sensitive matters, it could be both ethically and perhaps legally an issue for him.

If Zarif’s comment is to be believed, America’s top diplomat was voluntarily sharing information that could potentially be harmful to Israel.

Didn’t Ted Kennedy ask the Russkies for help in defeating Ronald Reagan?

Actually, now since I read the quote it seems like he’s speaking hypothetically! It’s great that Kerry is receiving the hell that he deserves, but things get screwy in translation, and I don’t think John Effin has a clue about anything Israel has or has not done! It’s called the Bush Paradox! He can’t be a moron and a genius at the same time!

Swiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry is off his rocker. Maybe he is sniffing too much Heinz Ketchup.

Yep...No, it was Papa Bush, I think. He was trying to cut some kind of deal with Pikop Andropov, I think!

Lurch needs to be wearing stripes, and breaking rocks, with a sledge hammer, in the yard at Guantanamo.

Teddy Kennedy gave aid and comfort to the Russians while his father did the same to Hitler. The dem/libs have been in bed with the commies for years.

Sen. Ted Kennedy was playing with the communists long before the Mitrohkin/Romerstein/Kengor exposes of the 1980’s secret contacts with the Kremlin.

He was a very active co-sponsor of a Communist Party USA “fake” conference held on the Hill entitled roughly “The Congressional Conference on Cuba”. The top CPUSA leader of this operation was Michael Meyerson, the CP’s top man on Cuba and their propaganda arm, the “Tricontinental Conference on Cuba” (later aided by the SDS/New/Old Left group, the “Center for Cuban Studies’.

A lot of this is found at www.keywiki.org, esp. an FBI letter from J. Edgar Hoover concerning members of Congress (all but one either leftists or softies on communism; the conservative James Fulton was targeted because he was very anti-communist - I knew him personally).

See the KW section for Edward Kennedy or Ted Kennedy and you will find the FBI letter in it.

Hell, it isn’t even Kerry’s first time at giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

We know who they are and what crimes they have committed and yet they still walk free, when do we start locking them up?
