Obama Admin Covering Up Key Iran Deal Details in Final Days

 Senior Obama administration officials in their final days in office are seeking to cover up key details of the Iran nuclear deal from Congress, according to documents and sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon about continued efforts by the White House to block formal investigations into secret diplomacy with Tehran that resulted in a $1.7 billion cash payment by the United States.

As leading members of Congress petition the Obama administration for answers about what many describe as a $1.7 billion “ransom” payment to Iran, Obama administration officials are doubling down on their refusal to answer questions about the secret negotiations with Iran that led to this payment.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), a vocal opponent of last year’s nuclear deal with Iran, has been seeking answers from senior Obama administration officials since at least late September. However, officials continue to stonewall the senator’s inquiries, according to senior congressional sources and formal communications between Rubio and the State Department obtained by the Free Beacon.

Rubio and several other lawmakers have petitioned the Obama administration for documents and information about the secret negotiations that resulted in Tehran receiving $1.7 billion in cash and a promise from the United States to further roll back sanctions on an Iranian financial institution that helped finance the country’s illicit ballistic missile program.

A spokesman for Rubio told the Free Beacon that the administration’s continued obfuscation has motivated the senator to take steps to help President-elect Donald Trump kill the nuclear agreement once he enters office next year.

Former Staffer Defends Jeff Sessions From Decades-Old Liberal Attack

In the media, Sen. Jeff Sessions has been under fire since it was announced he was Donald Trump’s choice for attorney general. “I say that the people making these allegations don’t know Jeff Sessions,” said William Smith, the first Republican African-American chief counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, in an interview Monday on “Fox & Friends.” Smith was hired by Sessions. “When it comes down to the issues, if you look at Jeff Sessions’ history, he did prosecute the head of the KKK, made sure that he received the death penalty, [and] he desegregated the schools in Alabama,” Smith added. Sessions, a Republican senator from Alabama, has recently been the subject of criticism for...

Obama urges anti-Trump rioters to keep up the good work

One of the job requirements for the position of community organizer is the ability to be a convincing liar. The eight long years of Barack Obama that America has suffered through has been a protracted master class in prevarication.

After Republican Donald Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton, President Obama sounded magnanimous — well, magnanimous for the egomaniacal Obama. Addressing the media November 10, Obama lied about his own record. He congratulated himself for the “remarkable work” he did that will leave “the next president with a stronger, better country than the one that existed eight years ago.”

Now he’s telling the violent activists protesting the election of Trump to keep on doing what they’re doing.

“I’ve been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years,” Obama said yesterday while visiting Germany. “And I suspect that there’s not a president in our history that hasn’t been subject to these protests. So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn’t advise them to be silent.”

For all we know, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is paying people to...
