There's arguably a far bigger Obama admin scandal relating to #IranDeal appeasement than shutting down the #ProjectCassandra investgiation into the #Hezbollah financing cars-for-cocaine, one involving upwards of $100bn flowing into the mullahs' coffers thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
As @FDD's @JSchanzer detailed in a must-read @TheAtlantic piece "The Biggest Sanctions-Evasion Scheme in Recent History" (theatlantic.com/international/…) #Turkey-#Iran concocted a "gas-for-gold" trade yielding $bns as part of an effort to wage "economic jihad" thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
The success of that effort, which surely funded detrimental activities to US while keeping the Khomeinists afloat during a time of econ duress was bad enough. Worse was that "NATO ally" #Erdogan AND THE OBAMA ADMIN whitewashed the scheme AND enabled it thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
The US had in place a sanctions regime that would've blocked the "gas-for-gold" trade btwn #Iran-#Turkey, yet chose not to enforce it, enabling mullahs to take in over $6bn. As @JSchanzer notes, US provided de facto sanctions relief for bargaining purposes thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
Stated differently, #Iran-#Turkey didn't so much exploit gold trading loophole, as O admin left it wide open for them as part of appeasement efforts to entice mullocracy to #IranDeal that would only further enable its jihad w $bns more for nothing concrete thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
So we know about #ProjectCassandra and O admin's willful sanctions non-enforcement underwriting #Hezbollah and all of #Iran's other poisonous tentacles and activities. This leaves us with more than a few troubling questions re #IranDeal-driven appeasement thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
What other investigations, military ops, intelligence activities did Obama admin disrupt on account of #IranDeal negotiations? How did O admin's desire to achieve deal w Iran affect US policy vis-à-vis #Turkey re gold trade, #Russia re #Project Cassandra? thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
Is there any action #Iran could have taken that would have led the Obama administration to ditch #IranDeal? thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
Given what we've learned about all the Obama admin was willing to sacrifice from #Iransom to #ProjectCassandra and #Turkey-#Iran gas for gold trade, it is not merely rhetorical to ask if we will get answers for pivotal questions these activities raise thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
If #IranDeal was consummated in face of all manner of hostile actions, and US in effect helped sponsor the world's leading state sponsor of jihad to get to a deal that would only aid/abet/enable regime more, US AND #Iran citizens must know the whole truth thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
If members of Obama admin knowingly took actions detrimental to the natl interest, they must be held accountable not for political retribution but to ensure future admins don't undertake similarly destructive actions believing they'll pay 0 price thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil… #IranDeal
Will there be justice for those responsible for foisting Chamberlainian #IranDeal on the American people on the heels of a series of disasters the Obamaites created in the run-up to its signing? This is not a rhetorical question. Justice must be served. thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
