I know SO many brainwashed liberals who still think Obama was the best thing to ever happen to this country.
It makes me absolutely sick.
Obama – who was supposed to be the great “uniter” did more to divide this country than anyone in recent history. He enabled a victim mentality to descend upon our society unlike ever before…
Oh. And he basically gave Iran free rein to destroy us.
A new report highlights how exactly he enabled terrorism to THRIVE in the Middle East.
Yeah, really.
According to this:
Barack Obama’s administration has been accused of sabotaging an operation to stop Hezbollah smuggling drugs into the US so that the nuclear deal with Iran could proceed.
In a stunning exposé by Politico, the former US President’s officials are said to have opened the door for trafficking and money laundering operations.
Donald Trump’s White House slapped at his predecessor Sunday night, with press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeting that the story shows a contrast of ‘President Trump’s success against ISIS vs. President Obama’s appeasement of terrorists.’
The Drug Enforcement Administration led a complex venture called Project Cassandra to tackle the criminality of the Lebanese militant group from 2008 on.
But it is claimed Obama’s people threw down a number of roadblocks, effectively paving the way for Hezbollah’s illegal activities including cocaine smuggling into the US which agents believe raked in $1 billion for the terror group.
DEA agents claim the Obama administration stopped them from arresting key figures linked to Hezbollah as an agreement on the Iran nuclear deal approached – and scrapped Project Cassandra entirely once the terms were agreed in 2015.
Politico leans left… so I think something this damning of the left’s Golden Boy should be closely examined.
By putting themselves between the DEA and Hezbollah, it helped the militant group grow into a global security threat, the report said.
The undercover investigation’s leaders sought permission for a number of significant prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, but Justice and Treasury Department officials delayed, Politico said.
In some cases, they were hindered and some requests from the DEA’s Counter facility in Chantilly, Virginia, were flatly rejected.
This hampered Project Cassandra’s efforts to bring the Hezbollah hierarchy to their knees.
They included one of the world’s biggest cocaine traffickers who also supplied Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with chemical weapons.
Talking anonymously, some former Obama officials told Politico the decisions were made to improve relations with Iran.
David Asher, who helped establish Project Cassandra, told Politico: ‘This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision.
‘They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.’
He added that the closer Obama for to finalizing the Iran nuclear deal, the more difficult the DEA’s job became.
The weapons agreement was announced in January 2016, which coincided with Project Cassandra officials being moved onto other assignments.
Investigators were on the verge of homing in on dozens of important figures who acted as facilitators for the various criminal operations in Hezbollah’s pockets, according to Politico.
Wanna be friends with Iran? Throw terrorists a bone!
The revelations also come just a week after the leader of Hezbollah swore to ‘end’ the US, calling for ‘martyr’ terror attacks in Jerusalem after Trump’s recognition of the city as the Israeli capital.
Thanks, Obama. Good move.
