Earlier today, a stunning report was published alleging that the Obama administration “actively interfered” in order to hinder the FBI from arresting individuals suspected of aiding and abetting Iran’s efforts to develop a nuclear bomb. We didn’t hear a peep about this interference on any of the network evening newscasts. Given their proclivities, a reasonable person may wonder whether they’ll report on these developments at all.
Per Fox News:
The Obama-Biden State Department “actively interfered” to prevent the FBI from executing arrest warrants on individuals illegally in the United States who were allegedly supporting Iranian financial efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction, whistleblowers told Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.
Fox News Digital obtained letters Grassley, R-Iowa, and Johnson, R-Wis., sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Attorney General Merrick Garland on the matter.
The Obama-Biden administration began its Joint Plan of Action, which served as the negotiating process for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, that was signed by then-President Obama in 2015. At the time, Obama said broader sanctions would remain in place, which the administration would “continue to enforce… vigorously.”
But Grassley and Johnson received unclassified and legally protected whistleblower disclosures which they say show that “while the Obama-Biden administration publicly committed to ‘preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by raising the cost of Iran’s defiance of the international community,’ then-Secretary of State John Kerry actively interfered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation executing arrest warrants on individuals in the U.S. illegally supporting Iranian efforts, including financial efforts, to develop weapons of mass destruction and its ballistic missile program.”
Some of those efforts directly led to Iran’s massive drone and missile attack against Israel this past April 13th, which placed American service members in direct harm’s way.
There was once upon a time when the media, the Regime Media, paid attention to whistleblower reports- and pushed them, even. That time was when the president had an “R” after his name and a “T” to start his name. That particular whistleblower report was, in fact, the basis of an impeachment.
In sum: the Obama State Department, headed at the time by Teheran John Kerry, obstructed the FBI from arresting illegal aliens that aided and abetted Iran’s nuclear program. Furthermore, this obstruction occurred in service of Obama’s precious Iran Deal. Whistleblower also indicates that the Obama Department of Justice under Attorney General Loretta Lynch did little if anything to deter this obstruction and execute the prescribed arrests.
Imagine media coverage of a whistleblower coming forward with a similar set of circumstances happening under the Trump administration. We’d never hear the end of it.
We will keep tabs on media coverage of this case (or lack thereof), especially given the ongoing turmoil in Iran, as it develops.
