Flashback: Democrat Senators Took Money from Iran Lobby Before Vote on Obama’s Nuke Deal — Iran Threatened to “Out” Bribed Officials

It’s time we did a little time travel to understand why Democrats are so quick to criticize President Trump’s decision to take out noted terrorist, General Soleimani.

Just before the Iran agreement was signed, the NIAC,  National Iranian American Council, through it’s Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC)  contributed significant amounts of money to many prominent Democrats.

Then in 2018, Iran threatened to “out” Western politicians that accepted their money – and how much – if they did not fight Trump and his decision to drop out of the terrible Iran deal.

 

Only two Democrats, Jeff Flake and Chuck Schumer took Iranian money but did not vote for the Iran deal. (You really don’t believe Jeff Flake was ever a Republican, do you?)

Daniel Greenfield, at FrontPage.com, reported in 2015 on the Democrat senators who took money from the Iran US lobby before their vote to support the deal.

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 Democrat 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.
