Security adviser: US intel believed Kerry's unauthorized talks with Iran undercut Trump

"Yeah, he did it all the time," said Kellogg, citing "the fact that he went over there, and the fact that he talked to Zarif to send a very, very strong countermessage to what we were trying to do out there."

Kellogg dismisses the defense that Kerry only shared information that was already public. "Well, you don't — even if it's public record, you never acknowledge classified operations," he said. "You don't. The press may get it, but you don't acknowledge it ...

and now this is public record … you put it out there that that's what the Israelis were doing against the Iranians, that was all classified information. He would give it out to them and passes it on to them. And we read cables and we understand what's going on."

Kellogg explained how Kerry's unauthorized talks with Iran undercut Trump's diplomatic efforts.

"We talked about it in the Oval Office several times," he recalled. "It was not helpful what he was doing, because he was basically countering every message we were putting out there and trying to push them into some type of negotiation.

"I was in there many times when the president would reach out to people like Macron of France, he would reach out to Boris Johnson in U.K., and trying to get them to be an intermediary to talk to the Iranians to get us into some type of discussions. And we always had a pushback ... because we had people like Kerry out there talking to Zarif and others."

Kerry embraced “Death to America” even before the Mullahs came along.

Kerry is a treasonous SOB and has been for 50 years or more.

You can tell Kerry is guilty because after he claimed it never happened, the State Dept. said it was Public Information.

Both are LIES!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Democrats hatred of their political enemies eclipses everything, even self preservation.

Trump’s achievements in the ME must have positively galled Kerry!

Why wasn’t he the subject of a no-knock raid at 0 dark 30 then? We need to play by their rules, not Marcus of rules.

Maybe Kerry can throw his own Vietnam medals over the White House fence this time. He obtained the medals fraudently. They were all one big lie. John Kerry has been colaberating with the enemy for decades going all the way back to Vietnam. He can’t seem to break his habit. Obama named him SOS, but he is Same Old S**t.
