Very Big Deal! US Amb. Stops $400 Million Cash Going from Germany to Iran
It’s a big deal because Iran and the EU are still doing business despite the U.S. sanctions. This transfer of cash was a means of circumventing the U.S.-imposed restrictions. Iran uses the cash for terrorism — cash isn’t easily traceable.
U.S. Ambassador Rick Grennell, doing an amazing job
The policy appears to be a response to efforts by the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Rick Grennell. It is by no means an easy or small diplomatic accomplishment.
Angela Merkel could step in and transfer the cash. Merkel’s government is considered the most pro-Iran friendly European governments.
Last month, Ambassador Grenell urged Berlin to prevent Iran’s withdrawal of large sums of cash from German bank accounts. It was a way for Iran to circumvent U.S. sanctions that took effect following Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
BILD reported in July that Iran’s regime seeks to use the European-Iranian trade bank in the northern German city of Hamburg – with the approval of the German government – to transfer the nearly $400 million in cash to circumvent pending US sanctions.
Both Israel and the U.S. are concerned [justifiably] that the cash will be used to finance terrorism. Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
Quiet diplomacy from U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell appears to have stopped a large 400 million dollar cash transfer to Iran.
The Jerusalem Post reported that an April German intelligence report from the state of Bavaria concluded that the Islamic Republic of Iran is working to turn...

Collusion: Chinese Spy Caught, Had Been at Diane Feinstein’s Side For 20+ Years
The spy was busted over 5 years ago but the story was largely downplayed and more details are just emerging:
Now, all eyes are on Chinese intelligence in the Bay Area after the website Politico reported last week that a staffer for Senator Feinstein turned out to be a Chinese spy who reported back to the government officials about local politics.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle uncovered additional details in a column written by reporters Phil Matier and Andy Ross.
The column revealed that the Chinese spy was Feinstein’s driver who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office and was a liaison to the Asian-American community.
He even attended Chinese consulate functions for the senator.
Feinstein — who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time — was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d be infiltrated.
Investigators reportedly concluded the driver hadn’t leaked anything of substance and Feinstein forced him to retire.
Former FBI agent and KPIX 5 security analyst Jeff Harp said he was not surprised.
“Think about Diane Feinstein and what she had access to,” said Harp. “One, she had access to the Chinese community here in San Francisco; great amount of political influence. Two, correct me if I’m wrong, Dianne Feinstein still has very close ties to the intelligence committees there in Washington, D.C.”
Harp ran counter espionage for the FBI in the Bay Area. He said in addition to traditional political intel and diplomatic secrets, Bay Area spies are often focused on things like R&D, technology and trade secrets.
“They also have an interest in the economy here. How to get political influence here,” said Harp. “What’s being developed in Silicon Valley that has dual-use technology. All of that is tied to the Bay Area.”Of course the media would downplay this.
