When investigators sought approval for prosecutions, arrests, and financial sanctions, the Justice Department and Treasury Department officials delayed, hindered, or denied their requests, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision,\u2019 Defense Department illicit finance analyst David Asher said. &#8216;They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down,'&#8221; and it was all to make sure the Iran deal didn\u2019t get &#8220;derailed.&#8221; Now, the Iran deal is Obama\u2019s grand achievement of ensuring that the Iranians will secure nuclear weapons in less than 10 years, if they\u2019re not already on the precipice. In order to not derail that, Obama told his Justice Department and Treasury department to stop pursuing Hezbollah as they\u2019re running cocaine into the U.S. conducting money laundering.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a bombshell!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a literal bombshell that nobody knows about, even though it is in The Politico.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this Politico piece, it\u2019s 14,000 words. The average column is 750, maybe 800 words. Nobody\u2019s gonna read 14,000 words. And the minute you start trying to summarize &#8212; you know, Apple has a feature that very few people know about. You cut-and-paste text, you put it in a document, and you go to the services menu and say summarize. And you can select the degree to which it summarizes.<\/p>\n<p>So you can have this app or this &#8212; it\u2019s not actually an app; it\u2019s a service. Take these 14,000 words and reduce them down to, say, 1,500 if you want to. Theoretically it gives you the nuts and bolts of the story. But let me just sum this up for you. This is what 14,000 words in Politico mean. I\u2019m just gonna read this one little blurb.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-232643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ObamaHillaryPIX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ObamaHillaryPIX.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ObamaHillaryPIX-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>Fourteen thousand words to report that, 14,000 words. It\u2019s deeply reported, it\u2019s extensively sourced, and the moment the average reader looks at it they\u2019ll give up. You mean I\u2019ve gotta read 14,000 words? Yeah. But I just told you what the story says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran &#8211;&#8221; And why would Obama care about securing a nuclear deal with Iran? That\u2019s something else that needs to be looked at. Might there be a deep dislike and hatred for Israel on the part of the Obama administration? Might there be, if not that, a distinct bias against Israel? How in the world does something like this happen? And we have people trying to tell us that this is the greatest administration ever, and people all over this country have been brainwashed and fooled into thinking it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-221743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Obama-Blah-Blah-BW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Obama-Blah-Blah-BW.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Obama-Blah-Blah-BW-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>&#8220;In its determination to secure a nuclear &#8211;&#8221; let me rephrase that. In its deal, in its determination to secure nuclear weapons for Iran, because that\u2019s what the Iranian nuclear deal is, in its determination to secure nuclear weapons for Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign, and it was the DOJ and the Treasury department both working on this, which was targeting drug trafficking by Hezbollah, which is bought and paid for by Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah was funneling cocaine into the U.S. Now, the DEA is all over Mexican drug cartels, right? One of the reasons why TSA security at airports is such that it is is because of Mexican drug cartels and other things, border security, you name it. And here\u2019s the Obama administration ordering law enforcement to look the other way when they find cocaine trafficking in the U.S. by Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some might say, &#8220;Why, Rush, why?&#8221; Because Obama did not want to anger the Iranians. Remember, the Iranians at this time held either four or eight Americans hostage, which Obama paid a ransom for, by the way, too. Flew pallets of American cash into Tehran, unmarked, the sleaziest kind of payoff you can imagine. Fourteen thousand words to say that. And because it\u2019s 14,000 words, nobody is gonna be able to cut to the chase like I have here \u2019cause they\u2019re gonna think, 14,000 words, I\u2019ve gotta say more than a paragraph about it, but that\u2019s basically the story.<\/p>\n<p>Now, take Obama out of it and put George W. Bush in it. Or put Ronaldus Magnus or put any Republican, put any name you want other than Obama in that paragraph. And I ask you if the Drive-By Media would be ho-humming it. But they are because the focus must be on Trump is going to fire Mueller. That serves a dual purpose. It makes people think that Mueller\u2019s found the goods on Trump and Trump can\u2019t handle it so Trump\u2019s gotta fire Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what people are gonna think. You can\u2019t blame \u2019em. They\u2019re not gonna take it to the next deep two or three levels. &#8220;Wow, Trump\u2019s gonna fire &#8211;&#8221; In fact, the brain dead leftists, and it\u2019s becoming more and more obvious each day that they genuinely are, when they get rolling on social media with this stuff, which they already are as well, it just continues to spread that kind of absolute BS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The headline: &quot;Obama Let Hezbollah Run Cocaine into the U.S. in Order to Facilitate the Iran Deal Getting Done.&quot;
