Seeks emails, texts, instant chats between Kerry and State Department officials and/or Kerry meetings with Iranian officials
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State for records of communications between former Secretary of State John Kerry and State Department officials regarding “the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (also known as JCPOA or ‘Iran nuclear deal’) and/or meetings between Kerry and Iranian officials to discuss the JCPOA.” (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:19-cv-00777)).
On May 8, 2018, President Trump announced the United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, which had been negotiated by Kerry in 2015 on behalf of the Obama State Department. In the months preceding the U.S. withdrawal, Kerry reportedly had been on a “stealthy yet aggressive mission” of shadow diplomacy in an attempt to preserve the Iran nuclear deal. Kerry reportedly held meetings and spoke with major players, foreign and domestic, involved in the Iran nuclear agreement who opposed the U.S. withdrawal.
The Judicial Watch lawsuit was filed after the State Department failed to respond to a May 7, 2018, FOIA request seeking:

Thank God for JW.
The DOJ should be doing this job.
no kidding
I do write checks to them
Evidently, Traitor John likes Iran’s nuclear weapons program. I find this to be typical of Lurch’s non-loyalty to this country. To think, he almost got elected president. We would probably be under Sharia Law by now if he had been successful. Why he wasn’t lined up against the wall back in the early 1970’s is beyond me.
“How is this not a violation of the Logan Act?”
Laws are for little people.
Kerry should be forced to face a firing squad.
Thanks bitt.
Tom Fitton should be named Special Counsel by Barr to run the investigation into how all of this started.
The press AND traitors in our country give a pass to anyone with a D by their name.
I ‘get’ why the press does it - they get paid off with insider information... but what’s the payoff for people in our government?
I don’t think anybody has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act. . . but I think this looks like a very good case to start.
He must have got out of Vietnam just before his troops got him.
And he was an Obama donor.
Nemazee’s also the brother of the wife of the UK Ambassador to the US during the Obama admin- the UK ambassador to the US who was formerly the UK’s ambassador to France.
Did you know John F’n Kerry served in Vietnam?
