Congressman Demands Probe into Evidence Obama Admin Protected Hezbollah to Score Iran Deal

This is treason. High treason.

President Barack Obama torpedoed a DEA-led effort to stop Hezbollah from smuggling cocaine into the country so that his nuclear pact with the terror state would not be undermined. POLITICO broke the bombshell news Sunday night.

  • A new report in Politico claims that the terror group Hezbollah was operating a massive drug and weapons smuggling operation that the DEA was poised to take down.
  • DEA agents claimed that Obama administration officials intentionally prevented them from taking actions that would have dealt a major blow to Hezbollah.
  • DEA and other officials believe it is because the Obama administration was laying off Hezbollah to not anger Iran and secure the nuclear deal that was being negotiated.

Former security officials claim that the Obama administration intentionally stonewalled a Drug Enforcement Agency investigation against a major terror group, according to a Politico report.

Officials tell Politico’s Josh Meyer that the Obama administration ultimately derailed the DEA’s investigation into Hezbollah’s massive drug trade operations that investigators believed provided the terror group with up to $1 billion in funds a year. According to the report, the White House cut support for the investigation — known as Project Cassandra — in order to gain favor for the Iran nuclear deal.

Congressman Demands Probe into Evidence Obama Admin Protected Hezbollah to Score Iran Deal

By Edwin Mora, Breitbart, December 20, 2017:

A Republican congressman has called on a House panel to investigate the Obama administration’s reported interference in a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force probe against Hezbollah’s lucrative drug trafficking, money laundering, and arms smuggling activities in Latin America, all to ensure passage of the Iran nuclear deal.

On Sunday, Politico revealed that Obama administration officials reportedly undermined a DEA operation, dubbed Project Cassandra, aimed at combating the Iranian narco-terrorist proxy’s “billion-dollar criminal enterprise” in Latin America.

In a statement issued Tuesday urging the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee to investigate the allegations in the report, Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC), the chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, said:

These revelations are shocking and infuriating. While American soldiers were bravely fighting ISIS [Islamic State] terrorists, with some paying the ultimate price, the Obama administration reportedly was protecting Hezbollah terrorists who were funding themselves by trafficking illegal drugs. No wonder President Obama couldn’t bring himself to call them “Radical Islamist Terrorists.”

Pittenger, a years-long advocate against Hezbollah’s activities in Latin America, sent a letter to House Oversight Committee chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) urging him to investigate the allegations in the Politico report.

“The growing nexus between terrorist organizations and Latin American drug cartels poses a grave threat to our national security, especially considering the porous state of our southern border,” added the North Carolina Republican, who also serves as the vice chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing.

The U.S. military has for years been highlighting the menace against the United States posed by operations linked to Hezbollah and Iran, its benefactor, in Latin America.

Despite the warnings from the U.S. armed forces, the Obama administration argued that Iran’s influence in the Western Hemisphere was “waning,” reported the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress’s watchdog arm, in late September 2014. This assessment came months before world powers and Iran agreed to the nuclear deal in July 2015.

Shiite Hezbollah operatives are involved in various lucrative criminal activities in the Western Hemisphere, ranging from money laundering to massive cocaine trafficking primarily into Europe and the United States.

Referring to the DEA operation sabotaged by the Obama administration, Politico reported:

The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.

A day after the world powers and Iran approved the nuclear deal, former President Obama conceded Iran would use sanction relief money from the nuclear pact to fund Hezbollah.

The Jerusalem Post recently revealed that Iran has significantly increased funding to Hezbollah from $200 million to $800 million per year after the nuclear deal.

The road to the hell is paved with good intentions. This, like the countless other criminal acts of the obimbo administration should be investigated with criminal charges being placed. But, as it involves the political elite, who are above the law, this is merely another space filler in the news.

“..the security of a free state..” requires American citizens to do the job.
But, cowardice has Americans tightly in its grip. As long as we remain cowardly, nothing will change, because “all it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing”.

Don’t think American Citizens have become cowards, most of us happen to remember our upbringing. WE were taught to respect the law, and to vote for changes we wanted to see, not do like the folks you see who are rioting and trashing stores because they didn’t get their way. MOST conservatives are ready and willing to stand up and fight when the need arises, so don’t let yourself be fooled we aren’t. Why do you suppose we voted for Donald Trump?

Attorney Larry Klayman, fresh off a preliminary court ruling that the National Security Agency’s spying on Americans likely is unconstitutional, now has named President Obama and others in a racketeering complaint.

Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and a columnist for WND, alleges the president and others laundered U.S. taxpayer money that was spent on Hamas rockets fired against Israel.

The civil lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington falls under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, alleges criminal acts by Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

Seeking $1.5 billion in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages, it accuses the global figures of “laundering U.S. dollars” to Hamas, which is officially designated by the U.S. government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

“This money has been foreseeably used to buy rockets and construct tunnels to attack Israel and terrorize and kill American and dual American-Israeli citizens who reside or are located in Israel,” Klayman said in a statement.

Before POS Bill Clinton ran for president, you could find pictures of him actually holding a sign that said “down with U.S.A.” when he was in Moscow. The anti-American media said he was protesting the Viet Nam war. Yeah…right.

Notice that the so called “Investigations” are always into the “Obama Administration” and never the investigation of Obama himself! I find that ever so interesting, how it is so strategically worded! So does 20% of the American voters have to file a Class Action Lawsuit to get the former president of the U.S. investigated for crimes against the United States and the endangerment of it’s citizens by putting them in harms way? As So Known As TREASON!
