John Kerry’s bid to save one of his most significant accomplishments as secretary of state took him to New York on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, where, more than a year after he left office, he engaged in some unusual shadow diplomacy with a top-ranking Iranian official.
He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.
With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside. President Trump, who has consistently criticized the pact and campaigned in 2016 on scuttling it, faces a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue abiding by its terms.

Not sure what value Kerry can bring to them at this point, its not like he or anyone else on his team have hooks into the current players advising Trump.
Trump is likely reading transcripts of his conversations with the Iranians anyway.
We already knew that this loser’s fingerprints were all over this. It’s terrible that you can’t punish somebody who aids the enemy anymore.
Traitor is as Traitor does. Note he doesn’t talk to the current Administration to explain what he has fomented. No he goes to the enemy. Why? $$$$$?? Bury the dirt???
“Why? $$$$$?? Bury the dirt???”
Scum Sucker probably still has Top Secret clearance. Zero doubt he has leftist scum in Government feeding him info. to help destroy Trump and side track the disabling of the dirty rotten Iranian deal.
Bump
Has the vainglorious buffoon registered as a foreign lobbyist? Michael Flynn might have a few words to say.
Word of the day: collusion!!!
I seem to remember a ‘great’ man hopped a train at Union Station Washington DC, and took it to Missouri and in his after president life CONTINUALLY turned down ‘all’ the supposed job offers with the ‘excuse’
‘You don’t want Harry Truman for your company, you want HST because he served as President.’ (or words to that effect)
To bad these other ‘ass clowns’ don’t realize that.
Where is DOJ, how does a person ‘leak’ something to CNN and then get hired by CNN as a ‘serious journalist’?
(And have the unmitigated gall to ‘brag’ about it with his superiors in on the scheme)
Not only no sense of honor, these clowns have NO SHAME and dangerously close to ‘committing’ moral terpitude.
That didn't slow this traitor down one bit when he was negotiating our surrender to the Norks and he was still a member of the Naval Reserve.
WHY HASN’T TRUMP DRAINED THE SWAMP. OBAMA IS STILL THE PRESIDENT!!!
LOGAN ACT??
What evidence do you have that that is true? He appears to be on the job for Obama who is also supposed to be out of power, but he is not by any stretch.
Doing the same thing while Republican.
Lurch is colluding with the muzzie mullahs?
Who’s paying him?
Iranian collusion...
Why is he NOT under arrest?????
Party affiliation.
“More sedition from Lurch...”
Yews, but does it really matter? Trump is going to scuttle the deal no matter what Lurch does. I just hope that Trump has had the forethought to revoke any security clearances Lurch may still have.
Isnt that illegal?
I remember they wanted to bring criminal charges to Trump and his team when he contacted foreign representatives after winning ths election, but before being president.
Dont those rules apply to Kerry?
You’re allowed ;D. Great to know though. I’m sure down the road—with the Dems—we’ll have a need for your reference here. They are in the habit of disregarding Acts and rules on the regular.
Yes to all your wrote (and btw “vainglorious fool’ is SOOO befitting him!!) Although I argued he married money for just that same reason and now that he has that he can focus all the his vanity and narcissism craving with more precision.
