Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American business consultant arrested in October 2015; and his father, Baquer Namazi, a former senior UNICEF official arrested in 2016 and later placed on medical furlough in Tehran.
Former FBI agent Robert Levinson has been missing since a visit to Iran's Kish Island in 2007 and the U.S. government has repeatedly demanded information about his whereabouts.

As McCabe plays the indignant & outraged victim, let’s revisit McCabe’s leak, his multiple lies, his attempts to cover his tracks, shall we?
(Via @AndrewCMcCarthy)

McCabe’s Leak

In October 2016, McCabe directed his counsel, @NatSecLisa to leak investigative info about the FBI’s @ClintonFdn probe to reporter Devlin Barrett.
The leak confirmed the existence of the investigation, something the FBI is supposed to resist. While his high rank gave him the power to authorize such a disclosure if it were in the public interest, the IG found that McCabe’s leak “was clearly not within the public interest.”

Bloomberg: “How’s married life? You married?” Plaintiff said her marriage was great and that she was pregnant. He responded “Kill it!” He repeated “Kill it!” and muttered “Great! #16!” suggesting his unhappiness that 16 women in the Company had maternity-related status.
Garrison complaint
89. On April 11, 1995 at approximately 11:20 am, Bloomberg was having a photo taken with 2 female Company salespeople and some N.Y.U. students. When Bloomberg noticed Garrison, he asked “Why didn’t they ask you to be in the picture? I guess they saw your face.”
On another occasion, the Garrison lawsuit said, Bloomberg berated a female employee who had trouble finding a nanny. “It’s a f------ baby! All it does is eat and s---! All you need is some black who doesn’t even have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building!”

.@Maddow is fiercely defending McCabe & dropping of charges, & blaming Trump for the investigation, when it was the IG who recommended charges. McCabe admitted to leaking & lying under oath. Yet MSM/ Dems demand prison time for Stone, Flynn etc bcuz, of course, “rule of law.”
Now @Maddow is savaging Trump & Barr for speaking out against the prosecutors’ sentencing recommendation, basically a death sentence for Stone and much longer than sentences for many violent criminals. Stone was convicted for lying about boasts re: connections he didn’t have.
Yet, @Maddow in defending herself in a lawsuit regarding her slander and defamation of @OANN, that her statements can’t be taken as “facts.” I’m not sorry to say that she’s a fucking bottom-feeder

Saudi first: Trump wants to start a war with Iran when MBS gives the order interc.pt/30axJio by @mehdirhasan
On the word of a single, likely compromised, U.S. official, CBS says the Saudi oil attack was approved by Iran's supreme leader.

This story deserves our skepticism.

cbsnews.com/news/saudi-oil…
I gotta say, this doesn't FEEL smart.

Under Trump arms deal, US smart bombs to be built in Saudi Arabia

We should not hand the Saudis valuable weapons tech given the kingdom's conduct in Yemen and its human rights record.

So ...

■ Obama never would do anything to hinder #Iran, let alone strike directly

■ Even on PJW's terms, Trump can hardly claim credit for sparing people from orders he gave, BUT

■ Trump never gave orders to attack; this is messaging in search of a summit and "better deal"
DoD prepared contingencies for strikes on #Iran, and Trump turned them down when asked for approval.

Some officials got the impression on the day Trump supported strikes, but in the middle of that day he also said Iran's attack could be an "accident". washingtonpost.com/politics/i-sto…
Note: nothing got past the planning stage.

Trump never gave an order to attack #Iran that was revoked.

The administration's spinning it that way in the aftermath via the controlled leak is part of the attempt to gain leverage without actually doing anything to get to new talks.

1) I take the position that the U.S. is in a state of war with more than one country. War being defined as a hostile attack with the aim of invasion and takeover.
2) I thought this fact was obvious, but apparently it is not, because some people are still kind of laid back about the whole thing.
3) Let's start with Iran.
- @sibeledmonds names Iran as perp of 9/11 in her memoir. (Kindle ed. pp. 44-45)
- Iran benefited from our response to 9/11, which was to attack Iraq for no reason.
- Brennan covered for Iran in 2007 in a memo to the new Pres.

5) #Hussein orchestrated $ shipments 2Iran. At least $1.7bil went there. The #TreasuryDept & #DOS (Bureau of Polical-Military Affairs - which links 2the #DefenseDept -Think big #BudgetAllocations) control the flow of $, but bottom line, the #Fed secretly, or not, controls $$$. It
6) can be greatly aided in the effort with an #Executive's blessings. The Office of the Inspector General has a hand in distribution & the accounting of #ForeignAid. The #GAO (General Accounting Office) investigates $ moves.
7) orgs & then be redirected to the personal holdings of the creator/s. Another secondary shuffle is the covert placement in offshore holdings 4distribution. Activities attributed to slush funds come to mind. They move in all directions as needed. These methods are in use

First up: the inside story of a daring raid by Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, in Tehran. Part bank heist, part “Mission Impossible,” the intel seized was key to @realDonaldTrump’s decision to pull out of the #Iran nuclear deal.
When @realDonaldTrump withdrew from the #Iran deal, he cited the Israeli docs as proof that the Iranian promise to abandon nuclear weapons was “a lie.” Just days before, Israeli PM @netanyahu had revealed the intel to the world, with the words “Iran lied.”
Leading Mossad expert @ronenbergman says Tehran is “the hardest place for Mossad to act.” He estimates #Israel has “many dozens” of local dissidents working as operatives inside Iran.
