A great piece of work by POLITICO....

Its a very long read, with much research and interviewing.
At the moment, I am still trying to wrap an understanding to the gravity, effect, possible outcome(s), around the thrust of the story......

Well a  Mom, first time  grocery shopping with her child, has a  ‘choice’.

1.  Let him/her, and ‘Give IN’, when they throw a  tempter tantrum, to get candy, sweets, sugar things, etc.
2. Leave the cart, take them by the hand, (or carry), go to the car, and tell them:  “That is  the  LAST  time you will go shopping with me, because you do NOT  Behave”.
Tell me,  what do they, ‘Learn’, from each experience ?

So, last 8 + years, some, ‘bana republic’, throws their version of a, ’Temper Tantrum’,, And get’s what they want, because they have,  LEARNED, the POTUS, will give them the candy.

Well, they are gonna,  ‘Learn’, it is no longer so.   The Hard Way.
     (And it will take more that 100 days, to turn around, 8  YEARS)

The link above, seriously doubt the, ’tweedy/orange’, people will actually read it, and understand it.
So, just included a  few,  ’Sound Bites’ for ya !!!!!!!!!!!

“Obama Secretary of State John Kerry declined to comment"

“They didn’t just dismiss a bunch of innocent business guys,”

“it’s more significant that these guys were freed, and that people were killed because of the actions of one of them"

“This is a scandal,” she said. “The cases bear all the hallmarks of exactly the kinds of national security threats we’re still going after. It’s stunning and hard to understand why we would do this.”

"At the time, those investigations were providing U.S. officials with a roadmap of how, exactly, Tehran was clandestinely building its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and maintaining its military with the unwitting assistance of so many U.S. weapons parts and technology companies”

"Two post-9/11 cases exposed gaping holes in the global counterproliferation safety net. In the United States, Israeli-born trafficker Asher Karni was arrested for illegally shipping suspected U.S. nuclear components to Pakistan for its atomic bomb arsenal. And in Pakistan, metallurgist Abdul Qadeer Khan was caught selling his country’s nuclear capability to Iran, Libya and North Korea”.

“The impediment was not the leadership of DOJ but the other agencies that DOJ has to work with to bring these cases successfully,” the Obama Justice official said. “They can kibosh it, they can pocket veto it, they can tell us no, they can punt it down a couple of steps.”

“Lynch, through an aide, declined to comment"

"A lot of people were furious; they had cases in the pipeline for months, in some cases years, and then, all of a sudden, they were gone — all because they were trying to sell the nuke deal,”

“Part of the frustration is that there is strong evidence Iran is still conducting illegal procurement operations and the FBI can’t really go forward with these cases,”

Ben Franklin once said: "If you give up a freedom, for the sake of security, you will have neither".
Which is More TRUE, today, than yesterday.('06, S-40, Stock) well, mostly .

It boggles the mind to see how this went down.
Lots of people with names, and knowledge, telling the story, not some Anonymous  source.....
Real folk working in the system!

I agree, they won't respond.
Name calling is all they can think about, sad.

I don't understand why...
This needs to be further investigated, if it was just a really bad idea, hoping it might change Iran, and then doubling down with deceit when it failed....
There needs to be accountability, period.
This has the propensity to be much greater than tweeter or hummers, impact, on the M.E. and the USA.
Way more.
