Treason! Secretary Pompeo: Former Obama Officials Are Telling Iran to Wait Out Trump — Then America Will Go Back to Appeasing Iran Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft January 2, 2020 411 Comments

Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry was secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
After the news broke last week, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on G-men to arrest John Kerry for his treasonous acts.
Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage the Iranian nuclear deal.
In May of 2018 former Obama Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Trump’s claim that John Kerry violated the Logan Act is “true.”
“It’s true. I mean I was there in Munich when I saw not only Kerry … the whole gang that crafted that terrible deal…they were there, they met with the Iranian leadership,” Pompeo said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.”
“It’s unusual, but more importantly, it’s wrong,” said Pompeo.
On Thursday Secretary Pompeo accused the Obama officials of secretly telling Iran to wait out President Trump — then America will go back to appeasing.
Via FOX News:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused members of the Obama administration of undermining President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran by telling the Iranians to “just hang on” until Trump loses in 2020.
“I’ll be straight up with you,” Pompeo says in an interview for the American Enterprise Institute’s national security podcast “What The Hell Is Going On?,” which I co-anchor with my colleague Dany Pletka, “you have folks who served in the previous administration who are telling the Iranian leaders today, ‘Just hang on. President Trump will lose in the election in November and we’ll go back to appeasement. America will write you a big check, we’ll underwrite your terror campaign around the world, we’ll give you a clear pathway to a nuclear weapon system. Just wait until the Trump administration is finished.’”
The Mullahs likely will back down now. They escalate more, then they will be assassinated. Putin will explain it to them. He understands how this works.
Iran got too comfortable with the US predictable response.
• shot down a US drone. • attacked Saudi oil facilities, unprecedented • struck an American base, even if the victim was one contractor • organized embassy storming • Sulaimani still moved around feeling invincible

It seems like only yesterday Admiral Inga was going on and on and on about how critically important a short delay in a scheduled computer security exercise was and how it was basically Munich II.
Quick question for the remaining hoax russian collusion truthers like Inga and HoaxPPT: why would Trump order the whacking of key players of a russian client state?
Take your time and while you are coming up with brand new gibberish, ponder the Nordstream II sanctions.

Everyone in District of Criminals knows the reason why Obama's 1.4 billion of the pay off was sent to the Mullahs in untraceable cash and gold bars was so that a third of the loot could kick back to the EU leaders and the Soros/Clinton/Obama Gang's secret bank accounts. Khamenei has twice threatened to tell on all of them if they don't stop that Bad Orange Man.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.
Well, Obama and Hillary did strike Libya with some "kinetic warfare," destabilizing the country. That led directly to Benghazi. And only you and Cedarford backed the filmmaker BS around here.
"Putin will explain it to them. He understands how this works."
What if he tells them that we'll always be able to F with them as long as they don't have nukes as a deterrent? What if they come to that conclusion on their own?
Or, is the idea that if we F with them more and more, then supposedly they'll hit a tipping point where because of the terrible pain they'll be scared such that they'll conclude that it's best for them to maintain no nukes such that we are always able to massively F them when we want cause they got no nukes?
Although I'd like it if they did, I wouldn't bet that they'll see our increasingly harsh F-ing them, and then conclude that that's a balance they'd like to maintain forever by not having nukes.
How long until the democratics and LLR-lefties add the killing of terrorist mastermind and democrat-declared "spark of divinity" Soleimani to the current hoax articles of impeachment?
adSs: "What if he tells them that we'll always be able to F with them as long as they don't have nukes as a deterrent? What if they come to that conclusion on their own?"
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
History began 15 minutes ago for lefties like adSs!
Hey dummy, obambi and Biden and Hillary have already taught the world that lesson in spades in Libya.
Which also accelerated the islamic supremacist refugee waves into Europe.
Thanks for playing.
Try reviewing recent history once in a while. It would truly set you apart from your lefty/LLR-lefty pals.
Congress has to assert itself and determine exactly what our Iran policy is. Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?
Has anyone bothered to check what that little Iranian cypher who was last seen living with the Obamas has to say about all this?
Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?
Taking these questions in order: (1) I imagine so, yes. (2) Yes, but you don’t need to know what it is. The one with the slightly complex answer is (3) under long-established international law a country’s embassy is part of its sovereign territory. In launching an attack on the American embassy Iran and its Iraqi stooges technically committed an act of war on the US itself. Ben Rhodes should know this.
In other important ME news: Israel begins energy production in its massive Leviathan field. Right on top of the US becoming the worlds largest producer of oil and gas as well as becoming a net exporter.
Islamic supremacists, democratics and LLR-lefties hardest hit.
Suleimani has murdered or maimed hundreds of american and other coalition forces. He was the viceroy who oversaw the suppression of the wave of protests.
Via Rantburg: ...Overnight, demonstrators pitched tents and camped outside the embassy walls. On Wednesday morning, they were bringing in food supplies, cooking equipment and mattresses, Reuters witnesses said, suggesting they intended to stay for a long time....
Is history when they filled a reactor core w/ cement, stopped centrifuges and shipped nuke material out of country?
I.e. is history back before DJT? I.e. before they started ramping up uranium enrichment?
Is the idea that now they'll slow and/or stop? Unlike they've done re responding to DJT so far? When do DJT's policies start to make the Iranian nuke problem better, instead of worse?
Major Iran protests erupted in November 2019 triggering the greatest existential crisis in the regime's 40-year history. Protesters took to the streets in at least 191 cities calling for regime change. The regime has resorted to brute repression, killing at least 1500 protesters and arresting thousands more. It also shut down Iran’s internet completely for a week, blocking images of the protests from reaching the outside world.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE IRAN PROTESTS: Number of restive cities: 191 Number of martyrs: At least 1500 Number of injured: More than 4,000 Number of detainees: More than 12,000
The protests began on November 15, 2019 over a three-fold rise in gasoline prices but in less than 24 hours, the chants became entirely political. Iranians are chanting “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to Rouhani” on the streets of Iran. They want regime change.
Theyve been testing us for forty years, one can look farther back to noel in moore in khartroum in 1972, one of the beneficiaries of the deal was naccache and associate of carlos the jackal.
“ Does anyone know if Patterico 's blog is off line ? I just clicked on a link and got something unrelated.”
It might as well be. He has around a dozen steady commenters and he rarely posts anything. I think your LGF comparison was spot on, as he seems to derive pleasure from alienating people.
The speed with which the US actions against Iran played out today is stunning. This was carefully planned and anticipated in advance. Iran tripped the trigger today and US forces acted with precision.
Trump and his team saw this coming. They planned. They acted. This is what real leadership looks like.
I'm sorry if Ann fails to find her desired boredom in the actions in Iran today. Being a doormat for Islamic terrorism is not the kind of boredom we should embrace.
"The death of Qasem Soleimani, one of Iran’s most revered military leaders, is certain to heighten tensions between the United States and Iran."
Revered?
Fox News:
'...Inside Iran, his name generates something of a split view. In March this year, Iran’s Supreme Leader awarded him the highest military order – the Order of Zulfaqar – making him the very first Iranian official to be endowed with the commendation since the 1979 founding of the Islamic Republic.
He was even immortalized in a 2017 epic animated film entitled “Battle for the Persian Gulf,” in which he takes center stage vanquishing the Americans in the imaginary conflict.
Yet one young Iranian dissident in the country told Fox News that, at least quietly, he is characterized as “a criminal,” but most are afraid to protest in the face of being arrested, maimed or killed.'
Will they now speed up or stay the same or slow down re their work on nukes?
The only thing driving the Iranian push for nuclear weapons is the pursuit of power and prestige. They would be doing their best to build the bomb if we were shipping them a billion dollars a year, and they would be doing their best to build the bomb if we were carpet bombing their cities.
Democrats & LLR-leftists now officially on record as being opposed to killing terrorist leader Soleimani and supporting unrestricted immigration into the US of MS13 "spark of divinity" murderers.
I'm a never-trumper to my core. I think the guy is a world class ass clown. On the other hand, making sure the world understands that organizing an invasion of a US embassy is not a healthy lifestyle choice sounds like a good idea.
This "revered" military leader wasn't shot down in the streets of Paris by a Mossad hit team. He was killed in a military strike while operating in a country not his own, against American interests and American personnel. He put himself in harm's way and got "unlucky". Stuff happens.
[Senator] Chris Murphy [Dem, CT] ✔ @ChrisMurphyCT The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable.
Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us.
America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away.
What a disgrace.
And a couple days later:
Chris Murphy ✔ @ChrisMurphyCT Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question.
The question is this - as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?
That might be the most shameless one-eighty in recent memory.
@Drago It means I didn't vote for him in 2016 and I won't vote for him in 2020. My point being that despite how I feel about the guy, the strike in this situation was justified. I place country over politics.
Chris Lopes: "@Drago It means I didn't vote for him in 2016 and I won't vote for him in 2020. My point being that despite how I feel about the guy, the strike in this situation was justified. I place country over politics."
No you dont. What a pathetic self-serving lie.
If you are a nominal republican and decide you just cant vote for OrangeManBad then you are affirmatively supporting whomever the democrat candidate happens to be.
The choice is binary.
But hey, maybe you like the direction the dems are taking us in.
Chris Lopes is no doubt hoping for another totally not corrupt at all Mueller investigation into this unprecedented action by Trump because its just not fair that Trump has delivered the most conservative governance in 100 years AND Trump keeps saying mean things about dems and beating them.
Why, its just not sporting old chaps! Not cricket wut wut! Harrumph!
I see three comments here, as well as news reports stating marines arrested...
That just bothers me. How about using Marines captured. Insurgents, terrorists, the ENEMY, aren't arrested in war zones by Marines or soldiers and given Miranda warnings, they're captured.
Charles Hoskinson ✔ @cehoskinson If Qassem Soleimani is really dead, that's a bigger score for the US than either al-Baghdadi or bin Laden. He was more dangerous than both of them.
Two senior members of #Lebanon's #Hezbollah are reported to be the main targets of #USAF drone strike near #Baghdad International Airport tonight. They both had arrived from #Damascus via Cham Wings Flight No. 6Q501. One of them is reported to be Mohammad Al-Kothrani!
What does that even mean in the context of how the dems literally Stasi-ized our federal government?
Yes, when we needed to vet Trump, we got witch hunts and warlock trials instead. Now, for better, or worse, he will return to office for four more years to prove his mettle. That said, while others have skimmed the surface, created waves, Trump has at least embarked into the pool, albeit wading in the shallow end. There is work to be done on the foreign end, more on the domestic end. Still, cautiously optimistic with a center-right trajectory. For now, he has restored a working relationship with Iraqis, and is clearing the clutter left by administrations past, not limited to Obama spied, Clinton colluded, Biden obstructed, etc.
The chancellorship at British universities is in very great part a ceremonial position, an honor given to... why they chose Mrs Clinton for 'an honor' I have no idea. It involves, perhaps, an annual speech. The vice-chancellors are the UK equivalents of US university presidents.

Pretty sure no one is going to be attacking another US embassy as long as Trump is President.

This was a proportionate response. The guy was 62. He was at retirement age. Trump did the Mullahs a favor.

Treason! Secretary Pompeo: Former Obama Officials Are Telling Iran to Wait Out Trump — Then America Will Go Back to Appeasing Iran
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft January 2, 2020 411 Comments
I read that 3? Years ago? I guess they couldn’t wait.
Wait out Trump and more cash will flow, I’ll bet.
That $150 billion could have been put to Social Security.
Trump didn’t attack Iran.
LOL-
All the butt hurt libs are sharing age old Trump tweets from completely different circumstances to show how butt hurt they are. Maddow looked like she was going to cry.
Meanwhile, Iraq's Tahrir Square is awash in celebration.
Admiral Inga checks in!!
Just in time to bolster the Kavanaugh is a gang rape leader narratives!!
It seems like only yesterday Admiral Inga was going on and on and on about how critically important a short delay in a scheduled computer security exercise was and how it was basically Munich II.
Quick question for the remaining hoax russian collusion truthers like Inga and HoaxPPT: why would Trump order the whacking of key players of a russian client state?
Take your time and while you are coming up with brand new gibberish, ponder the Nordstream II sanctions.
LOL

Reports of celebrations in Iraq following confirmation of Qassem Suleimani's death - a man who had the blood of tens of thousands of Iraqis on his hands. A monster in the body of a human being. https://twitter.com/Mo_Allamy/status/1212918739890581504 …
There’s video.
Trump flexing killing terrorists by tweeting out a picture of an American flag is the best part of this evening.
Are you not entertained?
Everyone in District of Criminals knows the reason why Obama's 1.4 billion of the pay off was sent to the Mullahs in untraceable cash and gold bars was so that a third of the loot could kick back to the EU leaders and the Soros/Clinton/Obama Gang's secret bank accounts. Khamenei has twice threatened to tell on all of them if they don't stop that Bad Orange Man.
Boy, that "Benghazi" lefty talking point didnt even survive 48 hours!!
LOL
Better luck next time Admiral Inga! Perhaps you should be conferring with Field Marshall Freder for your next set of talking points.

Trump sends packages of a different sort to our enemies.
BTW, if he was in Iran, he wouldn’t be dead. He should have stayed home.

Well, Obama and Hillary did strike Libya with some "kinetic warfare," destabilizing the country. That led directly to Benghazi. And only you and Cedarford backed the filmmaker BS around here.
"Putin will explain it to them. He understands how this works."
What if he tells them that we'll always be able to F with them as long as they don't have nukes as a deterrent? What if they come to that conclusion on their own?
Or, is the idea that if we F with them more and more, then supposedly they'll hit a tipping point where because of the terrible pain they'll be scared such that they'll conclude that it's best for them to maintain no nukes such that we are always able to massively F them when we want cause they got no nukes?
Although I'd like it if they did, I wouldn't bet that they'll see our increasingly harsh F-ing them, and then conclude that that's a balance they'd like to maintain forever by not having nukes.
I dunno.

Thanks for playing.
Try reviewing recent history once in a while. It would truly set you apart from your lefty/LLR-lefty pals.
Congress has to assert itself and determine exactly what our Iran policy is. Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?
Has anyone bothered to check what that little Iranian cypher who was last seen living with the Obamas has to say about all this?
Seeing Red said...Hillary Clinton appointed chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast
You mean the town where Titanic was built?
Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?
Taking these questions in order: (1) I imagine so, yes. (2) Yes, but you don’t need to know what it is. The one with the slightly complex answer is (3) under long-established international law a country’s embassy is part of its sovereign territory. In launching an attack on the American embassy Iran and its Iraqi stooges technically committed an act of war on the US itself. Ben Rhodes should know this.
In other important ME news: Israel begins energy production in its massive Leviathan field. Right on top of the US becoming the worlds largest producer of oil and gas as well as becoming a net exporter.
Islamic supremacists, democratics and LLR-lefties hardest hit.
Suleimani has murdered or maimed hundreds of american and other coalition forces. He was the viceroy who oversaw the suppression of the wave of protests.
Via Rantburg: ...Overnight, demonstrators pitched tents and camped outside the embassy walls. On Wednesday morning, they were bringing in food supplies, cooking equipment and mattresses, Reuters witnesses said, suggesting they intended to stay for a long time....
Seems they were in for the long haul.
Drago,
Is history when they filled a reactor core w/ cement, stopped centrifuges and shipped nuke material out of country?
I.e. is history back before DJT? I.e. before they started ramping up uranium enrichment?
Is the idea that now they'll slow and/or stop? Unlike they've done re responding to DJT so far? When do DJT's policies start to make the Iranian nuke problem better, instead of worse?
Also via Rantburg:
Major Iran protests erupted in November 2019 triggering the greatest existential crisis in the regime's 40-year history. Protesters took to the streets in at least 191 cities calling for regime change. The regime has resorted to brute repression, killing at least 1500 protesters and arresting thousands more. It also shut down Iran’s internet completely for a week, blocking images of the protests from reaching the outside world.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE IRAN PROTESTS:
Number of restive cities: 191
Number of martyrs: At least 1500
Number of injured: More than 4,000
Number of detainees: More than 12,000
The protests began on November 15, 2019 over a three-fold rise in gasoline prices but in less than 24 hours, the chants became entirely political. Iranians are chanting “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to Rouhani” on the streets of Iran. They want regime change.
Only 1 policy will make it better: submit.

Playing dumb is probably your best move here.

Had him removed from power and thrown to libyan islamic supremacist wolves.

She can hold office hours down the pub behind a bottle of Bushmills.
The speed with which the US actions against Iran played out today is stunning. This was carefully planned and anticipated in advance. Iran tripped the trigger today and US forces acted with precision.
Trump and his team saw this coming. They planned. They acted. This is what real leadership looks like.
“Epic.
Keep an eye on all the "real conservatives" that called Trump weak for not attacking Iran for shooting down a drone.“
Brother, you nailed it!
Is aggressive and competent defense of America's interests an impeachable offense?
Well at least were talking about real things, not peach mint, which has nothing to do with anything.
I'm sorry if Ann fails to find her desired boredom in the actions in Iran today. Being a doormat for Islamic terrorism is not the kind of boredom we should embrace.
“ Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?”

Soleimani dead, Inga and makers of goat sex lubricants hardest hit...
WaPo:
"The death of Qasem Soleimani, one of Iran’s most revered military leaders, is certain to heighten tensions between the United States and Iran."
Revered?
Fox News:
'...Inside Iran, his name generates something of a split view. In March this year, Iran’s Supreme Leader awarded him the highest military order – the Order of Zulfaqar – making him the very first Iranian official to be endowed with the commendation since the 1979 founding of the Islamic Republic.
He was even immortalized in a 2017 epic animated film entitled “Battle for the Persian Gulf,” in which he takes center stage vanquishing the Americans in the imaginary conflict.
Yet one young Iranian dissident in the country told Fox News that, at least quietly, he is characterized as “a criminal,” but most are afraid to protest in the face of being arrested, maimed or killed.'

Will they now speed up or stay the same or slow down re their work on nukes?
The only thing driving the Iranian push for nuclear weapons is the pursuit of power and prestige. They would be doing their best to build the bomb if we were shipping them a billion dollars a year, and they would be doing their best to build the bomb if we were carpet bombing their cities.
Democrats & LLR-leftists now officially on record as being opposed to killing terrorist leader Soleimani and supporting unrestricted immigration into the US of MS13 "spark of divinity" murderers.
But really, who didn't see that coming?
And danang blumenthal, chimes in
I'm a never-trumper to my core. I think the guy is a world class ass clown. On the other hand, making sure the world understands that organizing an invasion of a US embassy is not a healthy lifestyle choice sounds like a good idea.
This "revered" military leader wasn't shot down in the streets of Paris by a Mossad hit team. He was killed in a military strike while operating in a country not his own, against American interests and American personnel. He put himself in harm's way and got "unlucky". Stuff happens.

The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable.
Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us.
America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away.

Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question.
The question is this - as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?
That might be the most shameless one-eighty in recent memory.

Also:
Trump is interfering in elections!
Chris Lopes is no doubt hoping for another totally not corrupt at all Mueller investigation into this unprecedented action by Trump because its just not fair that Trump has delivered the most conservative governance in 100 years AND Trump keeps saying mean things about dems and beating them.
Why, its just not sporting old chaps! Not cricket wut wut! Harrumph!
I see three comments here, as well as news reports stating marines arrested...
That just bothers me. How about using Marines captured. Insurgents, terrorists, the ENEMY, aren't arrested in war zones by Marines or soldiers and given Miranda warnings, they're captured.
Chris supports the attempted coup.
You place politics over country.

If Qassem Soleimani is really dead, that's a bigger score for the US than either al-Baghdadi or bin Laden. He was more dangerous than both of them.
Two senior members of #Lebanon's #Hezbollah are reported to be the main targets of #USAF drone strike near #Baghdad International Airport tonight. They both had arrived from #Damascus via Cham Wings Flight No. 6Q501. One of them is reported to be Mohammad Al-Kothrani!
A PR guy was taken out, too.
What does that even mean in the context of how the dems literally Stasi-ized our federal government?
Yes, when we needed to vet Trump, we got witch hunts and warlock trials instead. Now, for better, or worse, he will return to office for four more years to prove his mettle. That said, while others have skimmed the surface, created waves, Trump has at least embarked into the pool, albeit wading in the shallow end. There is work to be done on the foreign end, more on the domestic end. Still, cautiously optimistic with a center-right trajectory. For now, he has restored a working relationship with Iraqis, and is clearing the clutter left by administrations past, not limited to Obama spied, Clinton colluded, Biden obstructed, etc.

Maybe they don't have extradition with the US? Doubt it, but more likely explanation than her academic acumen.
The chancellorship at British universities is in very great part a ceremonial position, an honor given to... why they chose Mrs Clinton for 'an honor' I have no idea. It involves, perhaps, an annual speech. The vice-chancellors are the UK equivalents of US university presidents.
