Not sure where I got this from...but it was mostly about why did Sessions vote for this ...

There was no “Iran deal” without Corker’s maneuver.
The Corker scheme allowed the Iran agreement,(not treaty) to let the senate cede their constitutional advice and consent role as this wasn’t presented as a Treaty.

Congress voted for the Iran Review act. It only required a simple majority to pass. (Jeff Sessions voted for this.)

What this did, was force any other vote on Iran, to go thru cloture in the senate (which happened in sept 2015 a couple of times and failed.) and pass the house.

If it had passed Congress, Obama would have vetoed it and Congress would have had to override by 2/3 rds.
The votes weren’t there for that, so there was no way this Iran deal was going to be sabotaged.
If Corker’s maneuver fails, there is no Iran deal.

I assume once the Demshevik peachmint hoax is over, the evidence will be collated and appropriate charges filed against the various lawbreaking actors.

It’s starting to become more and more apparent why the ‘RATs accused the President of “colluding” with the Soviet Russkis. Their big time “witnesses” against President Trump are all Soviet moles masquerading as “honorable and patriotic” Americans.

Why hasn't LTC Vindman been reassigned to Fort Wainwright, yet?

Or if that is too transparently vindictive, transfer him to Schofield Barracks - how can anyone say that he was punished by being transferred to Hawaii?

Any comment towards a democommie activist, regardless of it’s basis in fact, is deemed ‘defamatory’.

It appears Sen. Marsha Blackburn has touched a nerve when she accused Lt. Col. Vindman of being the handler for the so called “whistleblower”.
Mr. Vindman and House Democrats must have a lot to hide. The Boies law firm does not come cheap, who, I might ask is paying the bill?

And why would you need a law firm like that just to deal with someone who hurt your feelings?

I’m thinking he is bracing for some bad stuff coming at him for lying at his hearing and going outside the chain of command.

Blackburn doubles down because she has the true facts on her side.

Vindman is a political operative, an agent of espionage.
