Traitor Senators Took Money from Iran Lobby, Back Iran Nukes
The Democrats are becoming a party of atom bomb spies.

Senator
Markey has announced his support for the Iran deal that will let the
terrorist regime inspect its own Parchin nuclear weapons research site,
conduct uranium enrichment, build advanced centrifuges, buy ballistic
missiles, fund terrorism and have a near zero breakout time to a nuclear
bomb.
There was no surprise there.
Markey
had topped the list of candidates supported by the Iran Lobby. And the
Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) had maxed out its
contributions to his campaign.
After
more fake suspense, Al Franken, another IAPAC backed politician who
also benefited from Iran Lobby money, came out for the nuke sellout.
Senator
Jeanne Shaheen, the Iran Lobby’s third Dem senator, didn’t bother
playing coy like her colleagues. She came out for the deal a while back
even though she only got half the IAPAC cash that Franken and Markey
received.
As
did Senator Gillibrand, who had benefited from IAPAC money back when
she first ran for senator and whose position on the deal should have
come as no surprise.
The
Iran Lobby had even tried, and failed, to turn Arizona Republican Jeff
Flake. Iran Lobby cash had made the White House count on him as the
Republican who would flip, but Flake came out against the deal. The Iran
Lobby invested a good deal of time and money into Schumer, but that
effort also failed.
Still these donations were only the tip of the Iran Lobby iceberg.
Gillibrand
had also picked up money from the Iran Lobby’s Hassan Nemazee. Namazee
was Hillary’s national campaign finance director who had raised a fortune for both her and Kerry before pleading guilty to a fraud scheme encompassing hundreds of millions of dollars. Nemazee had been an IAPAC trustee and had helped set up the organization.
Bill Clinton had nominated Hassan Nemazee as
the US ambassador to Argentina when he had only been a citizen for two
years. A spoilsport Senate didn’t allow Clinton to make a member of the
Iran Lobby into a US ambassador, but Nemazee remained a steady presence
on the Dem fundraising circuit.
Nemazee
had donated to Gillibrand and had also kicked in money to help the
Franken Recount Fund scour all the cemeteries for freshly dead votes, as
well as to Barbara Boxer, who also came out for the Iran nuke deal.
Boxer had also received money more directly from IAPAC.
In
the House, the Democratic recipients of IAPAC money came out for the
deal. Mike Honda, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Iran Lobby
backed the nuke sellout. As did Andre Carson, Gerry Connolly, Donna
Edwards and Jackie Speier. The Iran Lobby was certainly getting its
money’s worth.
But
the Iran Lobby’s biggest wins weren’t Markey or Shaheen. The real
victory had come long before when two of their biggest politicians, Joe
Biden and John Kerry, had moved into prime positions in the
administration. Not only IAPAC, but key Iran Lobby figures had been
major donors to both men.
That list includes Housang Amirahmadi,
the founder of the American Iranian Council, who had spoken of a
campaign to “conquer Obama’s heart and mind” and had described himself
as “the Iranian lobby in the United States.” It includes the Iranian Muslim Association of North America (IMAN) board members who had fundraised for Biden. And it includes the aforementioned Hassan Nemazee.
A member of Iran’s opposition had accused Biden’s
campaigns of being “financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime
based in California and by the Silicon Iran network.” Biden’s affinity
for the terrorist regime in Tehran was so extreme that after 9/11 he had suggested, “Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran”.
Appeasement
inflation has since raised that $200 million to at least $50 billion.
But there are still no strings worth mentioning attached to the big
check.
Questions about donations from the Iran Lobby had haunted Kerry’s campaign.
Back then Kerry had been accused of supporting an agreement favorable
to Iran. The parameters of that controversial proposal however were less
generous than the one that Obama and Kerry are trying to sell now.
The hypothetical debates over the influence of the Iran Lobby have come to a very real conclusion.
Both
of Obama’s secretaries of state were involved in Iran Lobby cash
controversies, as was his vice president and his former secretary of
defense. Obama was also the beneficiary of sizable donations from the
Iran Lobby. Akbar Ghahary, the former co-founder of IAPAC, had donated and raised some $50,000 for Obama.
It’s
an unprecedented track record that has received very little notice.
While the so-called “Israel Lobby” is constantly scrutinized, the fact
that key foreign policy positions under Obama are controlled by political figures with troubling ties to an enemy of this country has gone mostly unreported by the mainstream media.
This culture of silence allowed the Iran Lobby to get away
with taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times before the
Netanyahu speech asking, “Will Congress side with our President or a
Foreign Leader?”
Iran’s stooges had taken a break from lobbying for ballistic missiles to play American patriots.
Obama
and his allies, Iranian and domestic, have accused opponents of his
dirty Iran deal of making “common cause” with that same terror regime
and of treason. The ugly truth is that he and his political accomplices
were the traitors all along.
Democrats
in favor of a deal that will let a terrorist regime go nuclear have
taken money from lobbies for that regime. They have broken their oath by
taking bribes from a regime whose leaders chant, “Death to America”.
Their pretense of examining the deal is nothing more than a hollow
charade.
This
deal has come down from Iran Lobby influenced politicians like Kerry
and is being waved through by members of Congress who have taken money
from the Iran Lobby. That is treason plain and simple.
Despite what we are told about its “moderate” leaders, Iran considers itself to be in a state of war with us. Iran
and its agents have repeatedly carried out attacks against American
soldiers, abducted and tortured to death American officials and have
even engaged in attacks on American naval vessels.
Aiding
an enemy state in developing nuclear weapons is the worst form of
treason imaginable. Helping put weapons of mass destruction in the hands
of terrorists is the gravest of crimes.
The Democrats who have approved this deal are turning their party into a party of atom bomb spies.
Those
politicians who have taken money from the Iran Lobby and are signing
off on a deal that will let Iran go nuclear have engaged in the worst
form of treason and committed the gravest of crimes. They must know that
they will be held accountable. That when Iran detonates its first bomb,
their names will be on it.
