Iran Warns Trump Against Disclosing Secret Iran Deal Documents

Iran claims disclosure threatens deal

Senior Iranian officials are warning the Trump administration about disclosing secret deals related to the nuclear deal that have long been hidden from the public by the Obama administration, according to recent comments that prompted pushback from senior sources on Capitol Hill.

Iran's warning comes on the heels of a Washington Free Beacon report disclosing that former national security adviser Michael Flynn had been pushed out of office partly due to his intention to release these sensitive documents to the American public.

Leading lawmakers in Congress launched multiple investigations last year into the Obama administration's efforts to keep these documents secret and out of public view. Sources who spoke to the Free Beacon about the matter said that the Trump White House is working on ways to publicize this information despite warnings from Iran.

This was one of the key things Trump ran on. He needs to make this deal public.

At the very least, he needs to expose it to key people in the senate, Sessions, Tillerson, and whoever replaces Flynn.

Maybe he could assign Flynn to audit the agreement for compliance by Iran.

Must you post a photo of a toddler making an obscene gesture? Seems like a trick the left would pull.

I’m sitting here reading this wondering why this information is not available already. What is the basis for hiding it from the American people? National security?

A release of this information should be followed up by an investigation of Kerry, Clinton, and Obama's links to Hassan Nemazee.

Any deal that cannot withstand the sanitizing effects of the light of day is not worth the paper it’s written on.

You are right on target and I hope Trump has the guts and balls to release these so called “Secret” documents as they probably went into details how the public as well as Israel got screwed. Chances are that a good portion of the public will not believe it anyway as they are interested in everything but and most of the left still believes that obozo was the next best thing to sliced bread and the second coming of something or another.

Guys, help me with something.

We weren’t the only people involved in the Iran deal, although we bent over the furthest. Secrets don’t usually stay kept. How come the details haven’t found their way out from the other half-dozen countries who were sitting at the table?

Maybe there’s a secret bi-lateral set of deals with Iran, as well as what the other parties know. Wouldn’t that be funny, given that, in the case of TPP, Odungo was all for multi-party deals that tied us up, and takes a dim view of Trump’s preference for bilateral deals?

Not really an issue anymore. Pres. Trump can change all this in a heart beat.

He better release it while his heart is still beating then.

Trump is the best thing that could have happened to the Republic but he better get tough pretty quick or he will have squandered his good will base. Clearly the shadow government is at war with Trump and he hasn't fired a shot, only a general.

Obviously the democrats and entrenched republicans have never understood the admonition to “be careful what you ask for because you might get it”. President Trump spoke of voter fraud and democrats asked for an investigation. They will probably get what they want. Democrats and republicans are both asking for an investigation into contacts with the Russians. They will probably get that also but it will not be confined to just the Trump campaign. The Iran deal will probably be the subject to an investigation also and will involve both republicans and democrats. The multiple intelligence services are also ripe targets.

We are used to investigations being a dog and pony show conducted in Congress where members from both sides cooperate to cover up any wrongdoing. Such investigations are good for campaign statements and preserving careers, but are almost worthless for finding the truth and punishing crimes.

I think when President Trump refers to investigations, he is talking about official Justice Department initiated actions which have real investigative tools and actual authority to prosecute crimes. Since he is actually neither a republican or democrat and has had no past government ties, he has no vested interest in protecting anyone. He is also old, stubborn, vindictive, and rich; all reasons to not mess with him. For the first time in my life, I am optimistic about the prospect of reigning in some of the corruption that has been allowed to run rampant.

That card has an expiration date.

I just saw that 71% of American Jews voted for Hillary, compared to about 28% (not sure of that number, but close) for Trump. This is VERY hard to believe. It would appear that more Christians in America care about Israel than do Jews.

I want President Trump’s team to properly review those documents, and then declassify them all. Let the corrupt chips fall where they may.
