Things are not looking good for Obama, after Politico’s bombshell expose, which detailed how the former president let Hezbollah off the hook for their many crimes, in order to cement a disastrous nuclear deal with Iran.
Now, Republican Congressman Robert Pittenger sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, urging an investigation into the Obama administration for protecting Hezbollah.
From Fox News
A Republican congressman on Monday urged the House to look into a report the Obama administration held up a Drug Enforcement Administration task force’s investigation into Hezbollah’s drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations, all to ensure the Iran nuclear deal remained on track.
After the bombshell exposé in Politico Sunday revealed that Obama administration officials road-blocked the campaign of the task force, Project Cassandra, to curtail the Lebanese militant group’s criminal activities, Rep. Robert Pittenger of North Carolina sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy.
“These revelations are shocking and infuriating,” Pittenger said in a statement to Fox News. “While American soldiers were bravely fighting ISIS terrorists, with some paying the ultimate price, the Obama administration reportedly was protecting Hezbollah terrorists who were funding themselves by trafficking illegal drugs. No wonder President Obama couldn’t bring himself to call them ‘Radical Islamist Terrorists.’”
Politico reported that the red tape against Project Cassandra allowed Hezbollah to evolve into a major global security threat bankrolling terrorist and military operations.
When Project Cassandra leaders, who were working out of a DEA’s Counter facility in Chantilly, Virginia, sought approvals for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, Justice and Treasury Department officials delayed, hindered or rejected their requests, according to Politico.

Maybe some liberal journalists and pols are trying to move beyond the Obama/Clinton era as quickly as possible? They don’t want 2020 to be consumed with recriminations about Obama and Clinton?
That seems plausible to me, some libs are getting desperate to cut their losses and “move on”.... if stuff is going to come out anyway, get it out now and deal with the fall-out asap.
Nothing will happen. Trey will be entertaining but it will not grow legs.
it’s breaking my heart...
BREAKING BREAKING.....zzzzzzzz
So then the fault lies with the DOJ and the AG.
Obama is a criminal...
VERY plausible and smart thinking.
In 2020 they can say “that’s old news”
All of Obama’s actions favoured the muslim extremists. He managed the “war” in a way that ISIS could recruit and build. If you watch what he does rather than what he says, it’s easy to see that he’s nothing short of an Iranian plant.
Don’t go breakin’ my heart....
Could the $450 million in cash paid to the muckity mucks in Iran be the Obama insurance for safe passage. I hear Osama bin Laden’s pad in Pock-E-Ston is available!
Very likely but still needs to be proved. Then,” Off with his head!”
This looks like more red meat style clickbait; however, even if true, Congressional investigations are little more than ankle-biting, theatrical productions. Any action on this front would have to be over at DOJ and Sessions would have to arise from the dead.
bkmk
I wouldn’t be surprised if this dot leads all the way to the deaths of Seal Team Six.
Won’t happen.
Their focus will be on how fast they can get out of DC for their vacations. Priorities, priorities.
Hmmmm, guess that would not be very constitutional but then, neither was the civil war.
Sessions is deep in his lab fighting against the evil devil weed.
Hope it’s a cover.
Thank the 17th Amendment. The senate is an institution without a purpose beyond reelection.
Just a question to all the FR armchair warriors on here who are posting that nothing will come from this. Have any of you done a damn thing in the way of demanding that your Rep get off his/her azz and do something?
It a burr under my saddle when I hear someone say “well you can’t do anything about that”. BS! All that amounts too is running up the white surrender flag.
