Donald Trump blasted Barack Obamas Iran nuclear agreement as the worst deal ever. It was sold to the American people on the lie that it would stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. But a new report reveals just how badly Obama lied about the deal.
As part of the deal, the Obama administration had to release seven Iranian prisoners. The Obama administration claimed the prisoners were not charged with being terrorists or for committing violent crimes.
Politico reports: When President Barack Obama announced the one-time gesture of releasing Iranian-born prisoners who were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses last year, his administration presented the move as a modest trade-off for the greater good of the Iran nuclear agreement and Tehrans pledge to free five Americans.
Iran had a significantly higher number of individuals, of course, at the beginning of this negotiation that they would have liked to have seen released, one senior Obama administration official told reporters in a background briefing arranged by the White House, adding that we were able to winnow that down to these seven individuals, six of whom are Iranian-Americans.
But this was a lie. Four of the prisoners were connected to Irans ballistic missile program.
Politico also reports: Three allegedly were part of an illegal procurement network supplying Iran with U.S.-made microelectronics with applications in surface-to-air and cruise missiles like the kind Tehran test-fired recently, prompting a still-escalating exchange of threats with the Trump administration. Another was serving an eight-year sentence for conspiring to supply Iran with satellite technology and hardware. As part of the deal, U.S. officials even dropped their demand for $10 million that a jury said the aerospace engineer illegally received from Tehran.
In addition, Obama released Seyed Abolfazl Shahab Jamili who had been charged with taking part in a conspiracy to acquire nuclear parts for Irans centrifuges.
Exactly! Valerie says frog, and Odildo jumps. That’s just what this was.
Now wait. I hear he is in line to win a “Profiles in Courage” award.
I’m sure glad that the Repubs have our backs!
yeah. Me too. (sar.)
Me too...tired of Muslim and tired of “gay”
When clinton provided the ChiComs with missile and satellite technology he got lots of campaign donations (which I’m sure are sitting in some Swiss Bank now).
What did owebama get? Where’s he stashing his mullah moola?
So basically they we in on it or are idiots...
Obama lied?!
Shocked, I am...
NOT!
Sadly the phony "constitutional conservative" Ted Cruz was among the signers approving the anti-American, anti-Israeli, pro-terrorist, pro-Iranian, pro-Obama/Kerry scam.
LOL
Lying, stealing, cheating, who cares? None of our politicians are held accountable for any misdeeds.
It seems so.
But I’m not going to shut up about it either ;)
The more they said it was "good" the more I sensed it was a sellout big time...perhaps of historic proportions.
I wonder whether a former president can be charged even though out of office. I wonder because impeachment only brings charges, nothing more. It takes a separate trial in the Senate to convict or acquit.
Charges of malfeasance can still be brought. If the Senate wants to hold the trial of Obama in absentia I think they still could do so.
Others, please comment.
ObaMao the Feckless.
Pusillanimous nancy boy.
He makes me wanna puke!
The prisoners or Obama's administration staff ?
Same reason Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, Koskinen, Huma Abedin, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, George Soros, etc., are still running around loose -— corruption.
