Title: Democrats Contacting Iran Directly?
Post by: HankB on January 08, 2020, 09:56:12 AM: I don't know if this is true or not, but I read Democrats are contacting Iran directly.

They're rumored to be trying to license Iran's trademarked "Death to America" chant so they can use it as a campaign slogan.

Chris Murphy and other Democratic Senators held a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif last week, a high-level source reports. FWIW, his office is not responding to repeated requests for comment. https://t.co/hvLZ1gJbDC

Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia.

“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Murphy said in 2017 after anonymous leaks of Flynn’s phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak were published. He also strongly criticized the open letter some Republican senators sent Iranian leaders during the Obama administration.

That's why it's called "secret."

Can Democrats do "secret"? They leak everything.

That is one reason why I was certain Mueller had nothing. If he did, it would have been leaked.
