Obama protected Hezbollah drug ring to avoid ‘rocking the boat’ on Iran deal

Obama, the poster child for "Democracy, freedom, justice!" apparently "kneecapped" operations by the DEA to allow Hezbollah (a terror group) to continue with weapons and drug running operations, in favor of his publicized Iran Nuclear Deal. This new scandal has caught the attention of many worldwide, to the point of an Israeli politician calling for Obama to return his Nobel Peace Price (which he never deserved in the first place).

Let's take a look at the most recent scandal of Mr. Obama's:

From the Washington Times article:

"A Drug Enforcement Administration team says they were tracking a $1 billion per yer drug-and-weapons ring run by Islamist terrorists, only to have the Obama administration kneecap them to avoid “rocking the boat” with Iran.

U.S. officials told Politico for a report Monday that a 2008 task force called “Project Cassandra” was undermined by the former president as he tried to seal a nuclear deal with Iran.

David Asher, one of the group’s co-founders, said a “policy decision” was made to prevent the prosecution of Abdallah Safieddine, a Hezbollah envoy to Tehran."

From the New York Post article:

' “This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision,” said David Asher, an expert in illicit finance who helped found the project. “They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.”

The task force worked for eight years out of a top-secret facility in Virginia, with the help of 30 American and foreign security agencies, to unravel the global crime syndicate that was funding Hezbollah’s jihadist operations.

Politico also reported that late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was in cahoots with then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hezbollah in cocaine trafficking and other activities meant to undermine US influence.

In 2007, Venezuela’s state-run Conviasa airline was ferrying drugs and cash from Caracas to Tehran via Syria each week, according to Politico.

DEA agents nicknamed the airline “Aeroterror” because the planes would come back carrying weapons, along with Hezbollah and Iranian operatives.

But the Obama administration never fought to have two major players in the scheme extradited to the United States to face charges when it had the opportunity, task force members charged.

Others the team sought to bring to justice were Abdallah Safieddine, Hezzbollah’s envoy to Tehran, and a shadowy operative nicknamed “Ghost,” whom it considered one of the biggest cocaine smugglers in the world. '

Let us not forget the Fast and the Furious scandal, which also happened during Obama's administration (the ATF had a botched "gunwalking" program that was supposed to track weapons that cartel members received, resulting in the wrongful murder of a Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/07/fast-and-furious-report-slams-holder-doj-for-deception-in-gun-running-scandal.html).

We can't forget, Eric Holder, Attorney General was held in contempt after misleading congress and working to cover up the facts of this scandal.
