Wes Pruden writes about the obvious collusion the Mainstream
Media (MSM) refuses to cover because of its irrational hatred of President
Trump. This story would be huge in any period in the 20th century.
In a polarized 21st century, not so much.
Here’s a clue: Nefarious Barack Obama and Project Cassandra. If there is not a crime in this somewhere,
then the Left can do whatsoever it pleases and basically screw the U.S.
Constitution and We The American People.

A collusion bombshell, but not on target

You've got to give the Democrats and their acolytes in the
media credit for courage and a talent for tolerating bad taste and smell. It's
not easy to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a corpse.
How else to keep alive the Trump-as-Russian agent investigation?
Robert Mueller keeps hiring help, reluctantly cutting loose his chief
investigator who turned out to be a Hillary plant eager for revenge, and
keeping skeptics at bay with promises that he'll light the fuse on a bombshell
just as soon as he can find one.
Mr. Mueller may have a secret witness or two ready to come
forward, but Deep Throat is dead and gone, and secrets are never kept in
Washington. The Nation's Capital leaks like a month-old infant.
From time to time someone obsessed with finding the key to
nullifying the 2016 election and restoring Hillary to the White House, has
stepped up with something new -- not new evidence, but the same old song sung
in louder voice, full of noise and gas, only to be soon revealed as signifying
nothing. It's back to waiting for something next week, or next month or even
next year for the bombshell that will rattle the universe, or at least a few of
the suburban precincts.
There's lots of scandal out there, with fuses waiting for
the match, and but for preoccupation with Russian collusion some of the more
energetic Woodward-and-Bernstein impersonators might stumble upon some of it.
One ambitious reporter, Josh Meyer of Politico, the Capitol Hill political
daily, has delivered with a remarkable story on the weekend of how Barack
Obama, with connivance of John Kerry, the Obama secretary of State, and John
Brennan, Mr. Obama's director of the CIA, scuttled an investigation by the Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA) of Hezbollah, one of the most lethal distributors of
worldwide terror, because the investigation was getting too close to Iran.
Mr. Obama's obsession was with cutting a deal with Iran, and
he cut it by giving the Iranians everything they wanted. Then he set out to
avoid upsetting the mullahs. Mr. Obama knew enough about Islam, radical and
otherwise, not to hurt the feelings of mullahs.
Called Project Cassandra, the investigation was opened in
2008 to track Hezbollah's trafficking of drugs and weapons, money laundering
and other sordid crime. Some of it was plotted in the United States. One
investigator likened Hezbollah to the John Gotti crime family in New York,
Gotti the so-called Teflon don who eluded justice for years.
In fact, the story does read like the plot of a double
episode of a British detective mystery with so many twists, turns and dead-ends
that only the man who wrote the script could keep up with them all (and he was
never sure).
What comes through loud and clear is how Barack Obama, whose
first presidential trip was to Cairo to apologize to the Muslims in the name of
the United States for being the United States. He and his administration were
determined never to disappoint Islam again.
The faces of Project Cassandra were
those of John ("Jack") Kelly, 51, and David Asher, 49, who, working
out of a secret DEA safe house near Dulles International Airport, scoured
wiretaps and patiently built a network of informants to map Hezbollah mischief
with the help of U.S. and foreign intelligence and security agencies. The
Politico account describes how Messrs. Kelly and Asher tangled with rival
agencies that, in true and tested Washington bureaucratic practice, were
sometimes more interested in protecting their turf than the nation's security.
"But other agents embraced their swashbuckling
reputation," according to Politico, "claiming that more aggressive
tactics were needed because the CIA had long turned a blind eye to Hezbollah's
criminal networks, and even cultivated informants within them, in a misguided
and myopic focus on preventing terrorist attacks."
They were so determined, Politico reports, that they damaged
their careers by the intensity of the pursuit of the investigation. "It
got to the point where a lot of people didn't want to have meetings with
them," said one FBI terrorism task force who worked often with the two.
"They refused to accept a ‘no’ for an answer. And they were given a ‘no' for an answer, even
though they were usually right."
John Brennan, the former CIA director, was determined that
the United States would embrace Hezbollah as an influence for tolerance and
compassion, and this appealed to Mr. Obama's instinct to blame America first
for the sins of its tormentors. Mr. Brennan has been dogged for years by a
story that he converted to Islam years ago in Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Obama wanted a deal, any deal, with Iran to cement his
"legacy." Now he has one. It's just not the legacy he ordered.

UPDATE 12/20/17
Here’s an update I found
while sharing this post thanks to Nebo Nano a Moderator for the G+ Community United We Stand One Nation Under God.
The update is from a Five
in Ten broadcast on SkyWatch TV talking about this Project Cassandra
Catastrophe that Obama secured drug and arms dealing for Hezbollah so that Iran
would sign the bad for America Nuke deal. The story is in the first 5-minutes
or so, then moves on to other brief current event issues.

A bombshell report by
Politico shows how the Obama administration protected Hezbollah while it built
an international drug and weapons dealing empire because a major investigation
by the DEA might have derailed the nuclear deal with Iran.
