Clear evidence of Obama admin terrorism support & support of drugs in US
This should be one of the biggest stories ever.
"In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation."
"In this case, multi-ton loads of cocaine entering the United States, and hundreds of millions of dollars going to a U.S.-designated terrorist organization with vast reach."
"The administration also rejected repeated efforts by Project Cassandra members to charge Hezbollah’s military wing as an ongoing criminal enterprise under a federal Mafia-style racketeering statute, task force members say. And they allege that administration officials declined to designate Hezbollah a “significant transnational criminal organization” and blocked other strategic initiatives that would have given the task force additional legal tools, money and manpower to fight it."
"A former senior national security official of the Obama administration, who played a role in the Iran nuclear negotiations, [...]
“The world is a lot more complicated than viewed through the narrow lens of drug trafficking. [...] Your approach to anything as complicated as Hezbollah is going to have to involve the interagency [process], because the State Department has a piece of the pie, the intelligence community does, Treasury does, DOD does.”"
In plain English he's saying that knowledge of massive drug trafficking into the United States will be ignored, and the perpetrators allowed, if the (all left wing) STATE DEPARTMENT wants to veto it.
"Within months, task force officials said, Project Cassandra was all but dead. [...]
As a result, the U.S. government lost insight into not only drug trafficking and other criminal activity worldwide, but also into Hezbollah’s illicit conspiracies with top officials in the Iranian, Syrian, Venezuelan and Russian governments - all the way up to presidents Nicolas Maduro, Assad and Putin"
"Meanwhile, Hezbollah - in league with Iran - continues to undermine U.S. interests in Iraq, Syria and throughout wide swaths of Latin America and Africa, including providing weapons and training to anti-American Shiite militias."
"Meanwhile, in Iraq, the U.S. military was probing the role of Iran in outfitting Shiite militias with high-tech improvised explosive devices known as Explosively Formed Penetrators, or EFPs, that had already killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers.
All of these paths eventually converged on Hezbollah."
"The administration’s eagerness for an Iran deal was broadcast through so many channels, task force members say, that political appointees and career officials at key agencies like Justice, State and the National Security Council felt unspoken pressure to view the task force’s efforts with skepticism. One former senior Justice Department official confirmed to POLITICO that some adverse decisions might have been influenced by an informal multi-agency Iran working group that “assessed the potential impact” of criminal investigations and prosecutions on the nuclear negotiations."
"Once the Obama administration left office, in January 2017, the logjam of task force cases appeared to break, and several task force members said it wasn’t a coincidence."
Allowing tons of cocaine into the US
Allowing massive scale money laundering in the US
Allowing countless millions be funneled to terrorist enemies of the US, who were killing US soldiers
All to protect a deal that PROTECTS terrorist Iran for ten years as they develop nukes.
