Barack Obama, John Kerry’s work for Iran shows Russiagate was pure projection

By Post Editorial Board

Then-President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry put Iran’s interests ahead of American national security — service to a foreign power unprecedented in US history.

A blockbuster new report from Sen. Charles Grassley’s Judiciary Committee shows that the Obama administration secretly worked behind the scenes to systematically protect Iranian agents and operations from federal investigators — for fear arrests and exposure would upset Tehran and so derail negotiations for Obama’s obscene Iran nuclear deal. 

Via newly released, unclassified emails, whistleblowers have revealed that Obama officials at Justice and State (and Kerry personally) stopped federal agencies from enforcing sanctions on Iran and even intervened in FBI investigations — killing literal dozens of Iran-linked investigations, including ones against individuals aiding Tehran’s efforts to build nukes.  

It so disturbed Bureau personnel that they sought an audience with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch — who whistleblowers say went along with the efforts to help the mullahs. 

That this was done in pursuit of Obama’s mad pro-Iran agenda is clear as day. 

“We are all beside ourselves on asking the field to stand down on a layup arrest, however as it stands right now we all have to sit back and wait until all the US and Iran negotiations resolve themselves,” wrote FBI counterintel big Louis Bladel mere days before the disastrous accord was signed. 

And that it was understood as a deliberate assault on US security is clear too. 

FBI official Stacey Moy discussed keeping records on Obama interference “should there ever be a special investigation/hearing etc. on why FBI could not action law, and potentially prevent [a] national security incident.” 

The whistleblower disclosures suggest that the Obama admin efforts to protect Iranian sanctions violators continued even after the nuke deal was done. 

Kudos to Grassley for bringing this obscenity to light; he and the committee he chairs must keep digging — we need that “special investigation” Moy feared. 

Not least because for years, America endured screeches and screams from the left about Donald Trump’s servitude to a foreign power. 

Turns out Democrats were simply projecting.
