Listen to Negar Mortazavi, a known Iran lobbyist, say she is in "close contact" with Team Biden.

"... we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails to intimidate voters, incite social unrest & damage President Trump. You may have seen some reporting on this in the last 24 hours or you may have even been one of the recipients of those emails."

Where could Iran get hold of such sensitive information?
@samira_says, a member of Iran's lobby group NIAC, is a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of @RepBarbaraLee.
That could potentially give her (and the regime in Iran) access to U.S. citizens' data.

Looking back further:
The Obama/Biden admin was in bed with#Iran’s regime & NIAC, based on released emails.
“I have chatted with NIAC folks over the years”
“we do have a relationship with NIAC”
NIAC sought the admin’s advice on paying President Clinton for a speech.

The ties between the Obama/Biden State Dept. with NIAC were so strong that NIAC sought their advice on former U.S. President Bill Clinton doing a paid speech at a fundraising event.
Yes—Iran seeking to pay the Clintons.
And Obama/Biden’s State Dept. had no problem with it.

While @Princeton University says Mousavian had a “distinguished career,” it is worth noting that he was Iran’s ambassador in Germany overlooking the September 1992 Mykonos restaurant killing of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents.

Obama had Iran's lobbyists working inside the White House
@saharnow of NIAC worked on the Iran nuclear deal & had very close access to Obama.
If Nowrouzzadeh herself or anyone denies she was a NIAC member, her business card proves they’re lying.

For the record, Aslan was forced to delete that last tweet.
However, these are quite telling of his character.
