The senators claimed the reason for the State Department's interference was because of ongoing negotiations related to the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, which former President Barack Obama signed in 2015.
Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson unveiled evidence on Wednesday that former Secretary of State John Kerry's State Department "actively interfered" with the FBI's attempts to arrest people suspected of being in the United States illegally to support Iran's efforts to create weapons of mass destruction.
Whistleblowers allegedly told the senators and shared unclassified documents with them that supported their claims, and showed that the Justice Department and FBI did not "failed to take the necessary steps to stop Kerry’s obstructive efforts against law enforcement," according to Fox News.
The senators claimed the reason for the State Department's interference was because of ongoing negotiations related to the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, which former President Barack Obama signed in 2015.
“The records provided to our offices show that the Obama/Biden administration’s State Department, under the leadership of John Kerry, actively and persistently interfered with FBI operations pertaining to lawful arrests of known terrorists, members of Iranian proliferation networks, and other criminals providing material support for Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” the senators wrote in letters to the State and Justice Departments, and the FBI. “The records also show that DOJ and FBI leadership apparently allowed it to happen until the Trump administration altered course.”

John F’n Kerry...
No...ValJar
I’m still waiting for this corn eater to resolve the Blasey Ford investigation. I guess I’ll be waiting till the next century.
I like Grassley, and he’s totally right about this and many other things, but because he doesn’t get any support from the GOPe, his speeches are meaningless.
I hate GOPe!
...Barack Obama: “if the political winds should shift, I will side with the muslims”...
Nice of this geezer to tell us nine years later.
That’s the exact point!
They wait nine years and they really don’t want anything done.
Biden has been pulling his scams since 2012, at least.
Those Senators did nothing about all that was going on under that Muslim Obamma??
It gives new meaning to the pronouncement of:
THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES EVIL PROGRESS IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO....NOTHING.
THAT’S WHAT THE OBAMA YEARS TAUGHT US.
Please God help us to correct a very major wrong.
The Wrong: TRUSTING A MUSLIM.
Two - three says ago Biden said he saved every family $800,000 with the Afordable Care Act.
Total Silence among the GOPe.
Grassley is a Pence man.
He didn’t Subpoena Hunter when he had the opportunity (2016-2020).
A simple committee Vote when the Republicans had the committee and the numbers is all it would’ve taken, but they kept postponing Votes and ran out the clock. Running out the clock is their favorite trick.
Looks like Grassley and Johnson only got the records recently when whisleblowers came forward. Just shows the level of corruption in the Obama Administration.
However, look at some of the comments. Freepers who seem to be Assistant Democrats immediately attack Grassley and have not one negative word to say about terrorist supporter Obama.
“John F’n Kerry...”
I will say this. They shot the wrong JFK.
GOPe is just Democrat-lite
I suspect that the FBI top floor was part of the problem.
ValJar and Barry Sotero, the Brains and Buffoon of the #JihadJunta…
I agree - Grassley has been around for decades. He is part of the problem.
He may be BETTER, but is he just better at what he is saying [now]?
Trump reversed it
