Why is Iran deal classified, locked in Senate office?
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, April 21, 2015 | By Fred Fleitz

Posted on 04/21/2015 3:35:34 PM PDT by Dave346

A Senate staff member told me yesterday there is a classified version of the nuclear framework with Iran that members of the Senate are having difficulty assessing because it has been classified secret and is locked up in the Senate security office. I was told that few Senate staffers are being allowed to read this classified version of the framework.

This revelation raises several serious questions about President Obama’s desperate effort to get a nuclear deal with Iran.

First, this classified version of the framework agreement must be different from the fact sheet on the framework released by the State Department on April 2. We already know, based on a revelation by the French, that the Obama administration withheld from the fact sheet a controversial provision of the framework on advanced centrifuges. Were other controversial provisions withheld? Did Obama officials selectively release parts of the framework to block congressional action against a nuclear deal?

Second, since Iranian officials have denounced the fact sheet as a lie, does the classified version show what was actually agreed to? Does it show major differences in areas where Obama officials are claiming the United States and Iran are in agreement?

Third, the U.S. government classifies information to prevent disclosure to our adversaries. Who is the adversary here? Not Iran, since the classified framework document reflects discussions and agreements with Iranian diplomats. It is pretty clear that the framework documents have been classified to keep them from the American people, not hostile foreign governments, and to make it as difficult as possible for members of Congress and their staffs to access them.

They don’t want most of the house and senate and public knowing what a bad deal Obama is making and how much he is giving away.

It would be the proof they finally need to hang the Muslim traitor? Benedict Artnold., Snowden, and Nixon are owed a great apology...

But doesn’t congress have to see the deal because of that goofy arrangement they made with the African that 67 members of the senate have to vote against it to overturn it.

Because there’s the remote possibility, admittedly a slim possibility, but still a possibility... that there might be someone in the Senate who isn’t OK with the idea of Iran getting nukes and moving forward with her plans to obliterate Israel.

Full text of the deal:

"If you like your nuclear capability, you can keep your nuclear capability. And this time, I mean it."

The EXEMPT: "Classified secrets kept from the Senate? We don't care.
Destruction of the stupid Constitution? We don't care.
Helping Iran and N. Korea destroy America and its allies? We frankly don't care.
America being destroyed by an undocumented Impostor? We could not care less.
Benghazi? We don't care about it or the coverup.
Treason? We don't care since we get money for it.
ObamaCARE? We ARE EXEMPT.
IRS abuse of conservatives? How could we care? We began it."

Corker doesn’t want the full details of his sellout to be revealed.

0dunga is trying to prevent Iran from getting nuked by Israel. Everybody knows what this is about. It has nothing to do with stopping their nuclear ambitions.

Why is Iran deal classified, locked in Senate office?

Well, the primary reason is that the American people will become very angry when they learn part of the deal is to provide Iran with twenty-eight W-88 nuclear warheads out of our inventory.

Don’t forget the $50 BILLION ‘signing bonus’. We’re paying Iran to KILL US (and Israel).

Anything, repeat, anything proffered by this government, Dem or Repub is immediately suspect. They have frittered away any confidence in them had by the American people who see them as self serving, political whores available at a price and so immoral that they are open to blackmail and bribery any time any place on any matter. Diogenes would be wasting the oil in his lantern.

Bob Corker is a total moron. I hate him. I didn’t vote for him and I’m ashamed he and Lamar! are my senators.

Our governor is a liberal squish RINO too. I can’t figure out what is wrong with the voters here in TN.
