Democrat Senator Chris Murphy Admits To Secret Meeting With Iran — Then Admits To Treason?

The Federalist reported that Chris Murphy met with the Iranian regime in Munich without authorization from the state department. It took Chris Murphy a week to finally admit it, but the story he tells causes more significant problems.

Chris Murphy wrote an article for the Medium as an attempt to throw off the stench of his meeting with the Iranian regime. The reality is that it will cause more problems for him in terms of independent voters deciding candidates in 2020. You can read the elaborate attempt at his coverup here. It has everything from the impeachment sham with Ukraine and the moral superiority he feels over Trump and other Republicans. Don’t worry if you don’t want to give his drivel any more recognition I will do my best without too much snark to summarize it for you.

His recanting starts with an explanation, which often means he got caught like a little kid with his hands in the cookie jar.

“I just got back from a return trip to visit President Zelensky in Ukraine and a stop at the important Munich Security Conference in Germany. As is my habit, on the long plane ride home I wrote a candid, behind-the-scenes summary of my trip. I find that these journals help me digest my thoughts about these foreign trips, but it’s also a helpful way for you to see what really happens on these congressional delegation trips, and why they are so critical to U.S. foreign policy. As usual, this summary is long, but I hope you’ll find it worth your time.”

And boy was his “summary” long and full of bloated self-worth. He starts with what brought him to Ukraine. I think this is his failed attempt at trying to get the readers on his side. Look away dear readers at the fact I took a trip to meet with a terrorist regime behind the back of the state department and remember that Donald Trump was in an impeachment trial.

“In the middle of the impeachment process, I approached my friend, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, on the floor of the Senate. “Ron, are you going to the Munich Security Conference this year?” I asked. “If the trial ends in time,” he replied. “I have an idea. I think you and I should go see Zelensky on the Friday before the conference. Wouldn’t it be important for you and me to go there directly after impeachment, to send a signal that there is no distance between us, or Democrats and Republicans in general, on supporting Ukraine?” Johnson immediately agreed, and we quietly started to plan. Back in September, Johnson and I traveled to Ukraine together to see Zelensky and found ourselves right in the middle of the final stages of the corruption scheme that would become the subject of the impeachment of President Trump. We ended up both submitting testimony to the House impeachment committee, and our trip was referenced multiple times by the House managers and the lawyers for the President during the Senate trial.”

Look at the portion that I put in BOLD and Italics. “Johnson immediately agreed, and we QUIETLY started to plan.” These democrats are not even hiding their attempt to undermine the President of the United States anymore. It gets worse.

You see, this isn’t the first time that Chris Murphy has met with Ukrainian officials as an attempt to trash Donald Trump.

“At our September meeting with Zelensky, I made a point of telling him that getting involved with Rudy Giuliani and the Trump reelection campaign was potentially disastrous for Ukraine. And I knew that I had to deliver the same message to Zelensky now.”

He is actively working to ruin relations with a foreign government and our own. Some would call this act treason, not the Democrats, of course, but every other level headed American. If you think this saga is done, I’m sorry to tell you the ride has not ended.

Chris Murphy describes a meeting with the new Chief U.S. diplomat to Kyiv. He describes her as competent but doesn’t mix words saying that Trump has exacted his vengeance against the rest of the former chiefs. What he didn’t explain to the readers is that most of these people were loyal holdovers from the Obama administration. They were quick to undermine Trump and help aid the failed attempt at a coup. He goes on to talk about meeting with Zelensky.

“After a half-hour meeting, we made the short walk to the presidential palace. Zelensky is impressive. A first-time politician who made his name as a TV star in Ukraine, he is pushing hard for reform. He has passed a number of bills into law taking on corruption, and Trump’s undermining of Zelensky, just at the moment when Zelensky was beginning to make progress on cleaning up the country, was devastating.”

Does he even realize that he is accurately describing how we see President Trump? Is it just pure blind hatred or Trump Derangement Syndrome that causes these people to be so unaware? I think it’s safe to say that it is both.

After touting his false worry about the amount of aid heading to Ukraine, (always remember that the Democrats and Obama gave blankets and MRE’s while Republicans and Trump gave WEAPONS!) Chris goes to the real reason he wanted to meet with Zelensky, to find out if Giuliani/Trump was still trying to “pressure” the Ukrainians on the Biden issue.

“Then, I turn to the touchier subject. “Mr. President, your instinct has always been right, to stay out of American politics. You’ve always understood the damage that could have been done if you got involved in our presidential election. But there are reports that Mayor Giuliani isn’t done trying to dig up dirt on Trump’s opponents — he was here in Ukraine in December, we understand — and I just want to ask you directly if you are still feeling pressure to help with his investigations?”

“Zelensky clearly doesn’t really want to talk about this, and I don’t blame him. But he tells us that, though Giuliani has long wanted a meeting with him, he has always stayed clear of Giuliani and intends to keep it that way. He has no intention of getting involved in American politics any more than he already has, unintentionally.”

The fact is lost on this Senator that it was the Democrats and their failed impeachment attempt that brought Zelensky into American politics, and it was completely intentional. Now that he is done telling us all the ways that he is “trying” to “fix” relations with the U.S. and Ukraine, he goes on to tell about his meeting with the terrorist regime.

“I haven’t been in several years, but with the impeachment scandal and near-war with Iran, I decide that this is a year that I need to be there. And there is someone specific at Munich that I feel that I need to see.”

We all know who and why you used the Munich Security Conference to speak with the nation that is probably funneling money from the aid package that Obama gave them directly into your, and democrats like you, pockets.

“On Friday night I attend a dinner hosted by the Open Society Foundations (George Soros’ organization that funds pro-democracy efforts around the world) and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. I am one of the dinner’s speakers, and I make the case to the distinguished attendees that, “Americans are frankly losing faith in democracy, as are Europeans. Democracy hasn’t delivered during the past fifty years for people in my country. Wages aren’t going up, retirement is getting harder, climate change is still a menace. Meanwhile, the super rich keep getting richer and richer. If we want to support democracy, then we need to start making it work for regular people instead of just billionaires.”

He is literally spewing anti-democracy rhetoric at a George Soros organization event! I literally couldn’t make this up in my wildest imagination.

“My second objective is to make some waves within the large Middle East delegation that is in Munich. Trump’s Middle East policy has been an unmitigated disaster.”

“I have been invited to sit on a panel of Middle East Foreign Ministers. I am the sole U.S. figure on the panel, and I use the spotlight to make the case that the overriding U.S. interest in the region should not be trying to help Saudi Arabia gain preeminence over Iran, as is the policy priority under Trump. Our goal instead should be reducing, not ramping up, tensions between these two regional powers, not on trying to make sure one side eventually prevails. No doubt Saudi Arabia is an ally, but they are a deeply imperfect ally, and we should be more conscious about when our interests align with their interests. My comments are provocative, but they are designed to be. I want the leaders in Munich to understand that Democrats have a different view of the Middle East than Trump — this will be welcome news to some at the conference.”

He is the sole U.S. figure of a panel speaking about Middle East relations how does this happen. The only explanation is that he knew he would eventually get caught meeting with Iran and needed a backup excuse as to why he even cared.

“For years, I have met on occasion with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, during both the Obama and Trump Administrations.”

“Discussions and negotiations are a way to ease tensions and reduce the chances for crisis. But Trump, of course, has no such interests. For the last three years, there has been no diplomatic channel between America and Iran, and not coincidentally, tensions have escalated, most recently resulting in over 100 American soldiers being injured in an Iranian rocket attack on a U.S. base in Iraq.”

The fact that this Democratic Senator thinks that he has any idea on the behind the scenes discussions and negotiations between Trump and Iran is comical. Trump has now learned that there are precisely zero democrats in office that he can trust. Does he really think that Trump is going to pick him out of obscurity and include him on matters of national security?

Murphy goes on to say all the things he planned or did talk to Zarif about. He wanted to talk about the effect of the killing of Soleimani.

“I want to gauge whether he thinks the reprisals for the Soleimani assassination are over, and I want to make sure it is 100 percent clear to him that if any groups in Iraq that are affiliated with Iran attack the United States’ forces in Iraq, this will be perceived as an unacceptable escalation”

The Senator can’t even say now in a summary of his trip that Soleimani’s killing was more than an assassination. It was the taking out of a targeted official that has caused mass deaths and hysteria around the world, including on Americans. Murphy also brings up the American prisoners in Iran as well as the terror (my words not his) that Yemen is experiencing at the hands of the Iranian regime. The smallest amount of writing was given to Americans currently being held prisoner in Iran.

“I don’t know whether my visit with Zarif will make a difference. I’m not the President or the Secretary of State — I’m just a rank and file U.S. Senator. I cannot conduct diplomacy on behalf of the whole of the U.S. government, and I don’t pretend to be in a position to do so. But if Trump isn’t going to talk to Iran, then someone should. And Congress is a co-equal branch of government, responsible along with the Executive for setting foreign policy. A lack of dialogue leaves nations guessing about their enemy’s intentions, and guessing wrong can lead to catastrophic mistakes.”

As far as this man thinking that anything he did on his trip to Ukraine and Germany is somehow going to help relations is beyond the point of idiocrasy. Chris Murphy’s only mission was to drive wedges between the Trump administration and foreign leaders.
