To Save Iran Deal Obama Squashed Prosecution of Hezbollah Drug Running Operation

Posted by Tina

Both Politico and the New York Post are reporting today that President Obama interfered to blunt prosecutorial efforts by a team at the Drug Enforcement Administration in order to secure the Iran deal:

A team at the Drug Enforcement Administration had been working for almost a decade to bring down the Lebanon-based militant organization’s sophisticated $1 billion-a-year drug ring — which it found was smuggling cocaine into the US and laundering the profits by buying used cars stateside and shipping them to Africa for resale, Politico reports.

But the departments of Justice and Treasury delayed and rejected prosecution and sanctions requests from the team that had exposed the Iran-backed criminal network because the Obama White House feared “rocking the boat” with Tehran ahead of the deal, the site reports.

“This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision,” David Asher, who helped found the program for the Defense Department, told Politico. “They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.”

The taskforce, named Project Cassandra, worked for eight years out of a top-secret facility in Virginia with help from 30 American and foreign security agencies, unraveling the global crime syndicate that was funding Hezbollah’s Jihadi operations, the site reports.

Ex DEA agent Jack Kelly comments:

They were a paramilitary organization with strategic importance in the Middle East, and we watched them become an international criminal conglomerate generating billions of dollars for the world’s most dangerous activities, including chemical and nuclear weapons programs and armies that believe America is their sworn enemy.

This wasn’t just a drug operation. This was a terror operation. These revelations bring into stark contrast the Obama administration’s policies to keep America (and others in the world) safe and those of President Trump. It is unconscionable that the leader of our nation pulled something like this…disgraceful in terms of national security and justice. But, as should be obvious by now, Obama constantly did things that made us question question whose side he favored in the terror fight.

I don’t know about you but I prefer Trumps approach to national security and that includes his approach to diplomacy!

    Used to think that the Obumble prezidency would only be known for Failures.
    Guess I was wrong.
    In addition to winning the Biggest Liar Trophy for 8 years running (although $hrilLIARy almost edged him out a time or two) Obumble’s legacies are Failures AND Corruption at Every Level!

    The dots are beginning to connect. We should soon know just how corrupt Obama, his administration and the DNC are.

    Suspected House Hackers Ran Car Dealership With Markings Of A Hezbollah Front:

    “The used car dealership known as CIA never seemed like an ordinary car dealership, with inventory, staff and expenses.

    On its Facebook page, CIA’s “staff” were fake personalities such as “James Falls O’Brien,” whose photo was taken from a hairstyle model catalog, and “Jade Julia,” whose image came from a web page called “Beautiful Girls Wallpaper.”

    If a customer showed up looking to buy a car from Cars International A, often referred to as CIA, Abid Awan — who was managing partner of the dealership while also earning $160,000 handling IT for House Democrats — would frequently simply go across the street to longstanding dealership called AAA Motors and get one.

    “If AAA borrows a car to Cars International and they have a customer, it was simply take the car across the street and sell it, and then later on give the profit back or not,” Nasir Khattak, who ran the longstanding AAA dealership, testified in a lawsuit. “There was no documentation which is write every transaction that takes place. … If you go and try to dissect, you will not be able to make any sense out of them because there were many, dozens and dozens, of cars transferred between the two dealerships and between other people.”

    Report: Major news networks refused to cover bombshell story about Obama protecting Hezbollah:

    “Politico broke a bombshell story on Monday, reporting that the Obama administration sabotaged its own DEA’s efforts to fight Hezbollah, a terrorist group supported by Iran, in order to sign his prized nuclear deal with Iran.

    Despite the gravity of the story, not many Americans went to bed informed of the actions of the previous administration.

    Why not?
    According to conservative media watchdog site, NewsBusters, the top three nightly news networks — NBC News, ABC News and CBS News — in addition to the two leading Spanish networks, Univision and Telemundo, refused to cover the story.

    NewsBusters characterized the lack-of-coverage as a “blackout.” A search of the three English-speaking network’s websites also showed their news teams didn’t cover the story, either.”

    Sweet justice, in part.

    Israeli Politicians Demand Obama Forfeit Nobel Peace Prize After Hezbollah Report:

    Politicians in Israel, a country directly affected by Hezbollah’s terror, have lashed out at Barack Obama over the report. Some have even called for him to return his Nobel Peace Prize. Here are some statements from prominent Israeli politicians, according to the Jerusalem Post:

    “Obama must return his Nobel Peace Prize. Israel warned repeatedly that there can be no connection between the nuclear deal and anti-terror activity, certainly against Hezbollah…We also warned of this specifically, because of the proven link between Hezbollah and Iran.” — Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid

    “Up until the Obama Administration, every American President fought terrorism uncompromisingly…I am convinced that the Trump Administration will not turn from that tradition and the outrageous and mistaken policy that was revealed this week will not be repeated.” — Regional Cooperation Minister Tzachi Hanegbi

    “It was clear that the government was willing to do anything to reach an agreement, including ignoring Iranian terror that took the lives of hundreds of Americans and Israelis and hundreds of thousands of Syrians. This exposée and others that may be published in the future must strengthen our resolve…[to] change this dangerous agreement.” — Former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren

    “Does anyone still doubt why Obama was bad for Israel and how Trump is better for us?” — Communications Minister Ayoob Kara”

    The revelations about the damage Obama did to us just keeps on coming. I am heartsick that guy was ever born. I’m serious, the world would have be so much better off. Obama’s really hurt the whole country and it’s cost the world many lives. Thanks for bringing us this report Tina, even though it’s really sad.

      While I share your sentiment, I should point out that Obumble was just the sock puppet wielding the pen and phone. As an individual, he was a total zero, and empty shirt. If it had not been him, there were plenty more where he came from. As we are seeing (thank God) the problem runs much, much deeper, and was well entrenched before he hopped on board.

    Snip–

    “Obama was desperate. After a string of public failures and humiliations, he badly needed something in the win column. And so with a cloud of failure swirling around him, he committed an act so egregiously destructive, so outrageously deceptive, it rivaled Neville Chamberlain’s calamitous Munich Agreement. On July 14, 2015, the Obama administration bound the United States to an agreement with the world’s premier state-sponsor of international terrorism and drug trafficking.”

    From American Thinker.

    Obama Was a State Sponsor of Terror:
    By Daniel John Sobieski

    “It should not surprise or shock anyone that President Barack Hussein Obama has been revealed to have derailed the investigation and prosecution of Iran’s terrorist sock puppet, Hezb’allah, and its drug-running operation in order to complete the fatally flawed Iran nuclear deal. Obama gave aid and comfort to terrorist groups and their state sponsors from the day he was sworn in, to the point of actual criminality.

    —-

    A former Pentagon official told Fox News that Obama received specific intelligence in daily briefings about the Islamic State’s rise. The information was said to be “granular” in detail, laying out IS’ intentions and capabilities for at least a year before it seized big chunks of Iraqi territory and started beheading Americans.

    Obama’s indifference to the briefings was an issue during the 2012 campaign, when former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen observed that Obama personally attended only 44% of them. Obama’s perceived lack of interest in a terror war, which he claimed was won prior to the Benghazi attack, mirrors his reported lack of interest in the rise of the Islamic State.

    So with Obama’s turning a blind eye to the terrorist threats posed by the Taliban, Ansar Al-Sharia, and ISIS, even offering material aid and comfort to the Taliban, should we be surprised that he flew pallets containing $1.7 billion in cash to Iran, cash used to fund terrorist groups like Hizb’allah whose drug-running he excused and ignored?

    Just as he was an accomplice to gunrunning in Operation Fast and Furious, which got Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and many others killed, now we know Pressident Obama was so intent on getting any kind of nuclear deal with the state sponsor of terror known as Iran that he was willing to derail efforts that were about to shut down Hizb’allah’s drug running activities inside the United States:

    In order to keep the Iran nuclear deal on track, Obama gave a free pass to Hezbollah’s drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations, including crimes unfolding inside the United States, Politico reported.”
