" Quote In a quarterly report distributed to member states on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the Islamic Republic had kept to the caps placed on its uranium enrichment levels and enriched uranium stocks as part of the 2015 accord, signed in Austria's capital, Vienna. IAEA inspectors responsible for policing those nuclear restrictions were also given access to all sites in the country requiring a visit to verify Iran's ongoing compliance with the deal, according to the report. The Vienna-based IAEA has repeatedly confirmed Iran's compliance with the deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The Islamic Republic, on its part, has long said that it wants nuclear power only for the purposes of civilian energy." This does not stop Trump, Bolton, and Netahyahu, and their followers from spreading lies about Iran's (non existent) nuclear weapons . Repeat a lie often enough, etc. This of course is the same game plan as the one for the invasion of Iraq. Quote Bolton has been a consistent, and well compensated voice, for regime change in Iran, undeterred by the likely costs in lives and treasure. “The declared policy of the United States should be the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime in Tehran,” proclaimed Bolton last July before a gathering of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) cultists, “And that’s why, before 2019, we here will celebrate in Tehran!” Edited March 5, 2019 by Mark F

The deal Hiliary and Obama signed and now everyone else is left cleaning up the mess that is coming. You mean the easing of sanctions so that Iran wouldn't develop nukes?
17to85 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 2 hours ago, pigseye said: Mueller is already investigating much of that and the NY AG is investigating his prior dealings before becoming president, what more is there? The Republican led congress did a sham investigation of it too, the Democrats are just actually doing a non sham one now so it's not like only one body can investigate things. A guy doesn't want to be investigated perhaps the thing to do is not behave like a wannabe mob boss.

For those living in Trumpland, we (Trump) get everything we want, the other side gets nothing. Quote In 2007, the United States National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) stated that Iran halted an alleged active nuclear weapons program in fall 2003. Considering that the USA/Saudi Arabia/Israel have been seriously threatening Iran off and on since 1979, the Iranians are extremely tolerant, and peaceful. Edited March 6, 2019 by Mark F

I'm sure all the talks Iran has had with North Korea were about the weather too.

A guy doesn't want to be investigated perhaps the thing to do is not behave like a wannabe mob boss. There is a lot of speculation that the SDNY's investigation is is akin to a mob investigation. But I suppose if Trump was essentially a mob boss, thats okay as long as it was before he was President, according to some people. Keep in mind, the WH is refusing (so far) to hand over requested documentation. But...nothing to hide, right? lol
do or die Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Banking and tax speculation aside. Not that over the course of time.....Trump would of screwed any small investors, students or charitable donators in New York State. Heaven forbid. The Unknown Poster 1
The Unknown Poster Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Trump ordered top secret security clearances for his daughter and her husband over objections of senior security officials. He then lied about it (as did Ivanka). And is refusing to comply with Congress' request for materials related to this. Witch hunt? Come on... Foreign interference in US elections continues. Gee I wonder why. Maybe gutting cyber security was a bad idea. Maybe telling everyone it isnt true was a bad idea How many businesses wanting favours from Trump just spend money at his properties? Trump Org under investigations for insurance fraud. Let alone everything else....the only reason this seems like a gong show is the sheer enormity of Trump's crimes and improprieties.

The Unknown Poster Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Congress shouldn’t care about this at all though. Nothing to see
pigseye Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Seems Pelosi agrees with me, Quote All the impeachment talk is creating a headache for Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) and her leadership team, who want to create the space for a number of investigations to proceed without creating perceptions that Democrats have reached a verdict beforehand. Pelosi is particularly adamant that the investigation being conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russia's 2016 election meddling be allowed to wrap up before Democrats launch any formal punitive response against Trump. "When the facts are known, then we can make a judgment," Pelosi said last week. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/432861-tlaib-to-offer-impeachment-articles-against-trump-by-end-of-month
17to85 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Agrees about what? The simple fact is that nobody is getting impeached without the senate doing it, and the senate is blindly supporting Trump still. There are a mountain of things that Trump could already be impeached for, but it won't happen while the senate protects him so the Democrats in congress are going to continue to let investigations add to the evidence pile before they pull the trigger on impeachment.

That the Mueller investigation should wrap up before anything else. Campaign finance ie paying off the porn star, isn't enough to impeach anyways, Nadler (sp?) has said this, they need Mueller to pile up a few more charges but it doesn't appear that Mueller has found anything beyond misdemeanors. The optics are bad for the Dems, scrambling to find more charges just so they can move to impeach to appease their rabid base. Couldn't win at the polls so they will try with dirt, why not just wait a year and win the next election? It should be a slam dunk for them.
17to85 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Trump has done more than just violate campaign finance laws... but let's be real, how is that not enough to impeach? President is a criminal, can easily impeach him for that. Not like they need a real reason, they can do it with enough support in both houses. Trouble is the republican controlled senate won't impeach a republican president even if he shot some one on 5th avenue.
bustamente Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 The President gives his daughter and son in law a top security clearance over objections, my question would be "what was the cause of concern that sent up red flags in terms of their security clearance"

Couldn't win at the polls so they will try with dirt, why not just wait a year and win the next election? It should be a slam dunk for them. I am thinking the same thing - if Mueller has nothing of consequence they might as well just go hard to win in 2020 and forget all of this impeachment stuff. It's almost too late already anyway, as campaigning starts in the next few months. And you are right, it should be a cake-walk for the Dems, just like the last election was. One small bright spot in the Trump darkness:
pigseye Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 So if the funds to pay the porn stars didn't come out of the campaign finances, then the Dems don't even have that on him? https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/433007-trump-i-did-not-break-campaign-finance-laws You'd think somebody would have looked into that first, no?

But Trump had already stated that no payments were made, then that yes, payments were made, but he knew nothing about it. Even though Cohen (his attack dog and legal fixer for a decade) arranged them....in between making deals with the National Enquirer to catch and kill a variety of embarrassing and unflattering stories about Trump.
