    another Hillary failure as Sec of State?? add them up:

    1.architect of Libyan war ( not Bengazi)

    2.calling for sanctions on Egypt (when Congress did not) after the Morsi coupe' - sanctions did great damage to US/Egyptian relations.

    3. hosting the E Muslim Brotherhood at State - even after el-Sisi outlawed it.

    4.meddling in Syria to create an alternative to Assad by "Friends of Syria" that improved the Islamists, but not necessarily the secularists.

    They are gonna twist it for their own propaganda value fer sure.
    It seems a strange thing though being that most Americans don't trust anything the Iranians say, why would they feel releasing this information would be valuable? It would not change the already partisan on either side.

    The Republicans seem not to be concerned, they haven't replied as of yet to either story, and neither have the Democrats.

    Really? So if I make a claim and someone says it is not true, they have to prove it is not true? I'll remember you said that.

    Only thing I can think of is the Iranian nuke deal still has to pass Congress -so this could be seen as pressure on the Repubs
    - but it might also backfire..

    Maybe it's a higher up in the Iranian gov't/theocracy just out to slime the Americans...but I agree the motivation is very sketchy

    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    That is because the story is only circulating mostly in far left wing blogs. The claim is false. He won't even mention names.

    Are those two publications left wing? I am not familiar with them.

    I heard it. Hillary's saber rattling? It's conservatives who resisted any negotiations with Iran and are still criticizing the nuclear deal.

    So what's your position? That we shouldn't have negotiated and the guy shouldn't have been released?
