Leaked emails show coordinated Obama/Clinton effort to mislead public about Iran deal

Oct 10, 2016 1:49 pm By Robert Spencer

Find out exactly how disastrous the Iran deal was in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. The consequences will not be fully apparent for years. Eventually, they will be obvious to everyone.

“Clinton Campaign, White House Coordinated Pro-Iran Deal Talking Points,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, October 10, 2016:

Senior Clinton campaign officials were in direct contact with the White House to coordinate pro-Iran talking points in an effort to boost last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement, according to leaked emails that show the Obama administration and top figures in Clinton’s campaign played a role in promulgating information about the deal that later turned out to be factually inaccurate.

The emails, released late on Friday in a massive document dump by the hacker website WikiLeaks, show coordination between Hillary Clinton’s team and the White House, which spearheaded a massive effort to create what senior officials described as a pro-Iran “echo chamber” to mislead Congress and Americans about the nature of the agreement.

The director of national intelligence and Department of Homeland Security have accused “Russia’s senior-most officials” of hacking and leaking emails posted to WikiLeaks and other sites to influence and interfere with the 2016 election.

An April 2, 2015, communication sent from top White House press liaison Eric Shultz to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri includes several pages of pro-Iran talking points that were later discovered to contain misleading information.

“Love it!!” Palmieri responded to Schultz’s email. She subsequently forwarded the information to leading Clinton aides, including Cheryl Mills, Brian Fallon, and Nick Merrill, among others.

The disclosure of these emails threatens to entangle the Clinton campaign in a growing scandal surrounding secret White House efforts to mislead Congress and the public about the nuclear deal. Congress has been investigating these efforts for months and has uncovered evidence the Obama administration inked several secret side deals with Iran, including the rollback of key sanctions on Tehran and a $1.7 billion cash payment.

The Clinton campaign has been criticized in recent days for doubling down on its support of the Iran deal and for making false claims about its progress….

    The Trump website has a “CONACT THE CAMPAIGN” button at the bottom of the first page.

    YOU DON’T HAVE TO DONATE MONEY. Just look for the non-donate hotlink. It will lead you to a template form asking for just a bit of information to be sure you are not a troll.

    They will probably already have a source telling them about this, but if all of us get on board, too, it will make a bigger impact.

    Bush took two of Iran’s biggest enemies out, Afghanistan and Iraq that is at no extra cost to Iran and Obama just handed them nuclear bomb. m

      No doubt many Irans believe that Allah made Bush destroy Iraq, their biggest enemy; and made Obama give them a paid for ride to the atomic bomb.

      Allah made the American Presidents do it.

          I second you Graven and Mark.

          In point of fact: Just as ISIS was formed in the vacuum created by Killary and Zero, so both SIOA and JW were formed in the vacuum created by the PC treatment of islam starting right after 9/11. Which was the Bush administration.

      Being in the UK, we didn’t get to see all of it, but I **loved** it when Trump said in reply to her, ”No, you’d be in jail.” 🙂 Exactly where that repulsive bitch belongs.

      One thing I don’t understand, why isn’t he hammering Benghazi, and the tape where she actually **laughs** about getting off the rapist of a 12 year old girl, whilst admitting she *knew* the rapist was guilty ? I would have thought those two things were an absolute gift.

    Please U.S.A. do not start any more tensions between Europe and Russia. It is too much already, Europe needs peace, calm and good relations with Russia.

    • Angemon says

      Oct 10, 2016 at 5:53 pm

      There’s a fail-proof way of having good relations between Europe and Russia, and that’s to have Russia start acting like a civilized nation and keep its military out of the exclusive space of other nations (well, for a start – it’s going to take more than just that to erase the memory of what Putin’s been doing). Accusations of hacking made by US officials, regardless of their merit, should have no influence in Europe-Russia relations – unless, of course, Russia is simply looking to start s*** up via guilty by association.

      • Wellington says

        Oct 10, 2016 at 8:11 pm

        Seconded, Angemon. As I have mentioned many times here at JW, per George Kennan, Russia, whether under Czars, First Secretaries or now under Putin, looks upon its neighbors as vassals or enemies.

        Poles, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Czechs, Finns, Slovaks, Romanians, certainly Ukrainians (at least western Ukrainians), et al. know this truth put forth by Kennan exceedingly well. But don’t expect “Christianblood” to ever address this point. Nope. Said commenter here at JW wants only to sanctify Putin, excoriate the West (especially America and the greatest military alliance in history for the protection and promotion of freedom, NATO), all the while he NEVER addresses the many fully justified invectives over the centuries put forth by Eastern European peoples aplenty regarding what they think about dear, wonderful, Holy Mother Russia.

        Ah, if only Christianblood would show a little balance at times. But by not doing so he speaks volumes, not that he hears such. Like Russia in general, he is symbolically deaf. Big time.

        Moreover, you summarized things quite well by challenging Russia to act like a civilized nation. Hasn’t yet to be sure. And no clear horizon in sight, I would contend, as long as Putin is at the helm in Moscow.

        Too bad Russia, post-USSR, got a drunk and then an ex-KGB agent as its leader. I think America did far better with Washington and then Adams. If Russia had done as well, it would have been in NATO by now, aligned with the West against forces aplenty who despise freedom. But then Russia has never “gotten” freedom.

        Hence someone like Putin. Damn shame What a waste.

    • Mark Swan says

      Oct 10, 2016 at 6:43 pm

      Richard Paulsen, you must understand that, it is the U.S.A. that has afforded you the peace
      you have enjoyed thus far. No Nation has done more, gave more, sacrificed more to help
      the whole world. The U.S.A. did not invent the worlds problems, but has done so much to
      help. It was the Europeans who have always had animosity towards the Russian People,
      related to the Royalty in Europe, the tsar was never accepted and treated with respect.

      The Russians are not so much concerned with the U.S.A. as with encroaching European and
      U.N. intentions. Yes the U.S.A. has protected Europe from Russia, and Europe itself, The U.S.A.
      has done way more than it share, and got precious little from Europe in return, except contempt,
      interference, and complaints about our way of life, which is the envy of the world, still, even with
      all the obvious fault and depreciation of the greatest single Nation that ever existed.

      Europeans no longer see America as able to solve Europe’s problems and provide it its security,
      and this will rapidly lead to another sick European answer to fill the void, and yes war will follow,
      it is all that continent has ever known and will be all they can come up with again.

      If America is finally subdued by the world, the world will look back at it as the
      worst thing that has ever happened, but it will be too late then.

      • Richard Paulsen says

        Oct 10, 2016 at 8:37 pm

        You are absolutely right. Sorry if I expressed myself wrongly. I was worried about Hillary Clintons word concerning Russia when discussing with Donald Trump.

        • Mark Swan says

          Oct 11, 2016 at 1:41 am

          Richard Paulsen You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for, instead of becoming
          a right people who deserve a great Nation, we have allowed continuous generations
          of wrong people to have their way over far too much—they are the ones who should
          be very sorry and ashamed. By the time they realize how wrong they were, it will not
          matter.

          Russia and China both have been building-up Military capabilities and the current
          American Administration has been undermining the American Military. Mr. trump
          mentioned this, and the fact that Mrs. Clinton would continue to do harm.

          The way things are now instead of being able to stop both in any war now we may
          be facing a draw—this is shameful and does not have to be this way.

          We are still around, for now, and only time will tell.

          Take care Richard Paulsen,

    The “Palestinians” and the BDS movement desire no less than the annihilation of Israel. Iran’s Ayatollah seems determined to help with that wish yet would have no hestitation about killing all the “Palestinians” in the process.

    Now we know the nuclear deal was a sham, when will Israel be forced to stop the Ayatollah’s pogrom as a matter of survival?

          You all got that right, and surviving is not the same quality as living, far too many
          are just surviving and not living, already.

    “A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
    – Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

    It appears that America has lost its “Moral Compass” and is nothing more than an accident waiting to happen. a ride on the Titanic so to speak.

    That may explain why O was elected 2 times and why Bernie has a large following and why Hillary is not in jail. If Billary is elected, head for the lifeboats.

      From where I view it, America has three compatible religions for which they will fight, God, Patriotism, and Love of Freedom. The first two are waning and that is causing a loss of identity. The last could be lost before it is realized, if the first two fail.

        Oct 10, 2016 at 9:54 pm

        I regret to say that the rising generation, with its yearning for “safe spaces”, and willingness to see its opponents silenced for “hate speech” is probably one in which the spirit of liberty has died. Maybe it will revive (perhaps if there is a true spiritual revival), but I’m starting to wonder if we’re not heading where Learned Hand once warned we might be headed–once the spirit of liberty dies in a people, the best laws, constitutions, institutions, and the like cannot revive it.
