A bombshell report from Politico Sunday revealed that the Obama administration let Hezbollah’s money-laundering and drug-trafficking operations slide in order to protect the Iran nuclear deal from collapsing.
The Drug Enforcement Administration led a campaign dubbed Project Cassandra that reportedly targeted the criminal activities of the militant group.
However, Justice and Treasury Department officials reportedly delayed or outright rejected the DEA’s requests for investigations, sanctions and prosecutions against members of Hezbollah.
According to Josh Meyer of Politico, these players included: “Hezbollah’s high-profile envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank that allegedly laundered billions in alleged drug profits, and a central player in a U.S.-based cell of the Iranian paramilitary Quds force.”
In December 2011, U.S. attorney Preet Bharara filed a civil money laundering lawsuit against “Lebanese Financial Institutions That Facilitated a Hizballah-Related Money Laundering Scheme.”
The lawsuit claimed that “Lebanese Financial Institutions, Including Institutions Linked to Hizballah, Allegedly Wired Over $300 Million into the United States for the Purchase and Shipment of Used Cars to West Africa as Part of Money Laundering Scheme.”

Linda Sarsour “Oversaw Environment Abusive to Women,” Accused of Enabling Sexual Assault Against Woman Who Worked for Her
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, even though Linda Sarsour is a revered feminist icon. Remember: Sarsour is an open supporter of sharia. She claims that “Palestinian” women are being oppressed by Israel, but doesn’t have a word to say about the genuine oppression that Muslim women suffer because of sharia, which sanctions wife-beating, allows for polygamy, and opens the door to female genital mutilation and honor killing. That’s oppression. But Sarsour, the leader of the feminist movement, has never said a word about all that.
But this story does once again indict American feminists for their full-hearted and enthusiastic support of Sarsour, despite her pro-sharia misogyny. She only champions women when they’re useful for her propaganda: she used the Islamic honor murder of Shaima Alawadi to spread lies about the prevalence of hate crimes against Muslims in America, and never said a word about Islamic honor killing once the truth came out, that Alawadi had been murdered by her ...

Did Lisa Bloom Break Campaign Reform Regs by Arranging Pay for Trump Accusers?
Attorney warns that California celebrity lawyer could have violated election finance laws:
Lisa Bloom’s efforts to arrange undisclosed compensation during the 2016 presidential campaign for women accusing President Donald Trump of sexual harassment may raise a host of troubling legal ethics and election law worries for the California celebrity lawyer.
Mark Fitzgibbons, president of corporate affairs at American Target Advertising, headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, pointed to The Hill’s Friday bombshell report that the women’s rights lawyer arranged for public and prospective Trump accusers to receive compensation for coming forward through media outlets and political donors.
If political action committees and donors connected with 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton helped fund the compensation, Fitzgibbons warned that it would be "very troubling from a legal ethics perspective."
"All the trouble I have is Lisa Bloom as an attorney acting as a conduit to pay somebody to make ...

Miss Iraq posts ‘scandalous’ photo with Miss Israel - is forced to flee Iraq
The Horror!
Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan, and her family had to flee their homeland after receiving death threats over a photo she posted online last month.
Why? Because Idan posed with Miss Israel, Adar Gandelsman, at a Miss Universe International Beauty Pageant, the Times of Israel reported.
Idan came under fire for posting the photo to Instagram, captioned, “Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel,” in addition to modeling a bikini.
“The two of those things together caused a mess for her back home where people made threats against her and her family that if she didn’t return home and take down the photos, they would remove her (Miss Iraq) title, that they would kill her,” Gandelsman told Israeli TV, the paper reported.
In another Instagram post, Idan apologized to those who thought the photo was “harmful to the Palestinian cause,” clarifying that it was not a political statement, but instead meant to “express hope and desire for ...
