Senior Iranian officials are warning the Trump administration about disclosing secret deals related to the nuclear deal that have long been hidden from the public by the Obama administration, according to recent comments that prompted pushback from senior sources on Capitol Hill.Story here.
Iran's warning comes on the heels of a Washington Free Beacon report disclosing that former national security adviser Michael Flynn had been pushed out of office partly due to his intention to release these sensitive documents to the American public.
Leading lawmakers in Congress launched multiple investigations last year into the Obama administration's efforts to keep these documents secret and out of public view. Sources who spoke to the Free Beacon about the matter said that the Trump White House is working on ways to publicize this information despite warnings from Iran.
Secret side deals related to the nuclear agreement remain unclassified but have been stashed in a secure location on Capitol Hill, making it difficult for staffers and lawmakers to view them. Individuals seeking to view these documents must have security clearance and are barred from taking notes or speaking about what they see.
Multiple senior congressional sources familiar with the nature of the documents told the Free Beacon that lawmakers and the Trump administration would not be intimidated by Iranian threats.
I disagree with Obama Admin foreign policy on numerous points. But disagreement does not equal criminality...until they cut this deal.
The amount of secrecy we're seeing on an agreement that was basically cut with the wave of a pen and done by a "form" of executive order is distasteful at best.
Its another reason to hate lawyers.
But back on task. What are those secret side deals? Why have they made them so difficult to see...even for our representatives? Why is Iran so batshit determined to keep those side deals from becoming public? Finally did the Flynn really get "politically assassinated" because he was pushing to release them?
We need to know what's going on with regard to this deal. The Trump Admin should make the agreement public poste haste!
