Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is accusing multiple senior Trump administration officials in both the Treasury and State Departments of actively working behind President Donald Trump's back to save the Iran nuclear deal and continue providing Tehran with waivers permitting the regime to conduct sensitive nuclear work at a military site that houses Iran's nuclear weapons program.
In reaction to reports that the State Department will renew a series of controversial sanctions waivers that have permitted Iran to continue conducting nuclear work, including at a military bunker dug into the side of mountain, Cruz accused "deep state" officials operating at the State and Treasury Departments of actively working to undermine the administration's so-called "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran.
"If these reports are indeed accurate, then it is a temporary victory for the deep state staffers at Treasury and State who continue working tirelessly to preserve the Obama Iran deal rather than implementing the president's directive," Cruz said. "I will continue to work towards permanently ending the nuclear deal, including by exercising Congress's important oversight responsibility to ensure the implementation of United States policy."

These sources allege that a cadre of former Obama administration officials still in the State and Treasury Departments have teamed up to undermine Trump's hardline policy on Iran.
Bring John F’in Kerry up on sedition charges, and watch the rats scurry!
Trump will still have to sign off on it.
Treason used to be taken seriously. It still should be.
If Mitt Romney, or maybe Newt Gingrich had worked behind the scenes to undermine one of Barack Obama’s policies, what, would anyone hazard to guess, would the media be saying about it? Anyone have a wild guess?
That seems like a realllllllly long time ago.
Perhaps....finally...Cruz is discovering what we have known since GWB.
Voters mean nothing in modern politics.
“...Bring John F’in Kerry up on sedition charges, and watch the rats scurry!....”
Exactly!!! Horserace should have already been tried and behind bars by now.
Arrest the useless SOB and let the UniParty vermin howl like wounded dogs.
If they figure out how to sign Trump’s signature, let me know.
Bush League Republicans continue to work behind the citizens back on amnesty.
Eskews me... Shouldn't that be Horseface???
“...Eskews me... Shouldn’t that be Horseface???....”
Yes. My bad. Spell check is faster than my trigger finger....LOL
Identify them and get them out of there. If you can’t fire them transfer them to the worst outpost we have.
Umm, all of those mentioned as leaders are long gone and remnants of the Obama regime
They have NO power to do anything and if people in the departments are getting in the way through connections to them they will hang with the rest.
This article is almost humorous in it’s dated position and positing that all of those who are gone can somehow still impact our foreign policy
Ridiculous
It was. Back then, even perjury was taken seriously, rather than something we celebrated in presidents.
p
Pompeo, Mnuchen, and Barr should be all over this. Surveillance the perps.
They all should have been fired on Day 1.
“a cadre of former Obama administration officials still in the State and Treasury Departments have teamed up to undermine Trump’s hardline policy on Iran. “
And do not reply back that it is all the republican hold outs that are preventing him from draining the swamp. He should have taken the big stick out DAY ONE....
