Dem Senator Who Mocked Trump As ‘Literal Laughingstock’ After Killing Of Soleimani Holds Secret Meeting With Iranian Official, Report Says
daily wire ^ | 2/17/2020 | Hank Berrien

The Democratic senator who mocked President Trump after Trump ordered the killing of Iranian general and terror leader Qassem Soleimani, saying Trump had ‘made us a literal laughingstock” around the world, held a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week, according to a source briefed by the French delegation to the conference.

The Federalist reports that Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who had mocked Trump in early January, joined other Democratic senators for that secret meeting. What makes Murphy’s action particularly hypocritical is that in the past, he has bitterly slammed the idea that senators might interfere with a current administration’s foreign policy.

In 2015, 47 senators signed an open letter to Iran’s leaders that was never even sent to Iran in which they warned, “We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei … The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen, and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”

Murphy ranted to the National Journal, “I can’t even imagine the uproar if Democratic senators [had been] writing to Saddam Hussein in the lead up to the Iraq War,” adding that Republicans “have made it crystal clear that this has nothing to do with the merits of the deal. This has everything to do with undermining the president.”

Truer words were never spoken. All other forms of getting him out of the white house has failed, this will be their next move.

Now this is the type of Shiite that Trump should Tweet about. This traitorous activity should be shouted from the rooftops for all to hear and know.
Lord knows it won’t be on the evening “news”.

Rats run roughshod over rules, laws and the constitution.

Nothing to see, move on.

Trumps people need to be creating a Confidential File on Congressman Collins. He’s up to some dirty dealings.

There are seditionists and traitors at every level of government.

Because of the nature of us people (Homo sapiens),every country should expect a number of their citizens to hate the country and want it to fail.

This would of course be true in Germany, China, Russia United States, Japan etc.
Traitors are to be expected.

What surprises me is how many are citizens in this country, and are so well organized to bring our country down.

It looks like eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

Besides politics, the educational system and press, needs to be overhauled.
Donald Trump is a start in the political landscape.

There is a law, but at the moment, it is just too difficult to enforce, because of “public opinion”, i.e., the mainstream media would immediately blow the whistle and mount a whirlwind campaign to renew the efforts to impeach this President.

Most everybody else that has a real stake in the continued good fortunes of the United States would see this for what it is, another example dating from the time of Ted Kennedy, to overthrow the duly elected Administration by extralegal means, by consorting with foreign leaders to change the narrative of US politics.

Probably promising that the Democrats will reinstate Obama’s Iran deal if they win the election. How much can Iran do to try to help the Democrats win?

Thank Goodness the Greenies have saved the trees. We may need lots of trees (after arrests, speedy fair trials and convictions, of course).

Time for Republican Senators to help Trump here by going after Murphy and his fellow sleaze bag Senator D’ Nang DICK.

The democrat party is working for our enemies. It wasn’t just bammy with the iran deal, and the billions of dollars that he gave them. His party has aligned itself with iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.

The entire democrat party needs to be outlawed.
