SERIOUSLY!? Former Obama adviser's spin on Israel's Iran deal revelations is 'beyond parody'

Doug P. | 4:46 PM on April 30, 2018

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealing information that nation’s intelligence operatives uncovered in Iran indicated that the nuclear deal was “based on lies.” However, former Obama advisers are starting to push back. Here’s a former special assistant to Obama trying to downplay the information Netanyahu revealed today:

For those who have followed the Iranian nuclear file, there is nothing new in Bibi's presentation. All it does is vindicate need for the nuclear deal

But the Israeli prime minister has an audience of one: Trump

And he's unfortunately unlikely to reach the same conclusion.

Wait… hold on, we got dizzy there for a second trying to figure out how that’s supposed to vindicate the Obama administration:

Obama official says the administration apparently knew Iran violated the deal by lying. And that's … the defense. https://t.co/hVNVktrig8

Wow, you already had prove positive that the nuclear deal was based on a dangerous lie, that Iran lied about its weaponization program and instead archived it for future use? You should have shared this with the rest of us. And why then do you still support the sunset clause?

See? Same response as Zarif.

It also admits Obama and team knew Iran was lying then and didn't care. Just wanted a vapid accomplishment while the next Presidents would have to deal with consequences. https://t.co/fCJM1aWZFE

Malley’s definitely not providing the defense of Obama he thinks he is.
