Ben Rhodes, a former top aide to President Barack Obama, repeatedly dodged questions from CNN's Wolf Blitzer !! Friday about a new report claiming his administration misled Congress about granting Iran access to the U.S. financial system during the negotiation of the Iranian nuclear deal.
On Wednesday, Senate Republicans released a report claiming that the Obama administration secretly granted Iran a license "that authorized a conversion of Iranian assets worth billions of U.S. dollars using the U.S. financial system," despite administration officials testifying before Congress that granting Iran access to the U.S. financial system was never on the table as a negotiating tool.
The former deputy national security adviser for strategic communications tried to shoot down the idea the administration misled Congress by telling Blitzer that it was only a "single license granted" that was "never even used."
Rhodes added that it doesn't really matter how the administration operated, as Republicans "got what they wanted. They tore up the Iran deal."
"Instead of actually putting forward a policy for nuclear weapons going forward, they are investigating things in a partisan way that happened years ago," he stated. "And frankly what is more concerning to me is the fact that a few days ago the supreme leader of Iran said they're going to resume the nuclear enrichment activities. That is what we should be worried about here."

So, at this point what difference does it make? Ask the victims of Iranian sponsored terrorism in the Middle East.

It happened years ago. Tell that to Judge Moore.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
