Pompeo Responds to Reports Democrats Secretly Met Iran's Javad Zarif (John Kerry there, too)

Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference with Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedu Andargachew Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to reporting that a number of Democrat Senators secretly met with Iranian Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference.

“I have seen that piece about some senators meeting with Foreign Minister Zarif. This guy is designated by the United States of America. He’s the foreign minister for a country that shot down a commercial airliner and has yet to turn over the black boxes. This is the foreign minister of a country that killed an American on December 27. And it’s the foreign minister of a country who is the largest world sponsor of terror and the world’s largest sponsor of anti-Semitism,” Pompeo said. “If they met, I don’t know what they said. I hope they were reinforcing America’s foreign policy and not their own."

The news of the alleged secret Zarif meeting was first reported by Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist.

"Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and other Democratic senators had 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. Murphy’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment by press time," the outlet reported.

Zarif was designated for sanctions by the Treasury Department last summer for sponsoring terrorism around the world.

They were asking for Iranian help in defeating Trump. Just like Kennedy did with Gorbachev in 1984. It’s what democrat Senators do.

Menendez was probably looking for more 14-year-old prostitutes.

Isn’t there a committee or someone that could at least ask them what the h they were doing there? How do we know they aren’t doing treasonous activities? Where is the outrage from Republicans?

I would imagine they were sharing assassination plans with Iranian intelligence.

We should be demanding prosecution under the Logan Act. How about a special prosecutor? RATs aren’t subject to the same laws as the rest of us.

The leaders of Iran are not happy with the results they are getting from the Democrat leaders they have bribed.

Why is horse face so interested in iran? Could it be the big pallets of cash the Kenyan pole smoker sent over in secret a few years ago? It makes me sick to have two idiots like Murphy and Blumenthal as my representatives. They both suck ass.

*************

There never is any outrage from the spineless Republicans.

We need a new party in the worst way. The pathetic Republicans do nothing but fail us again and again.

They should just indict both Murphy and Kerry for violating the Logan Act and for possible treason.

Sleep with wild dogs and you get fleas.

These treasonous Senators will soon be scratching themselves raw. The mange is with them.
