FLASHBACK – Reports: Obama’s 2008 Campaign Reps Talked with Iran, Hamas

Amid the controversy surrounding White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s alleged conversations with Russia, it may be instrumental to recall that representatives for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign were accused of meeting with Hamas and Iran.

Depending on what took place, the alleged contacts with Iran may have violated the Logan Act, which bars citizens from negotiating with foreign governments in dispute with the United States. It may be questionable whether Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, legally qualifies as a foreign government.

In 2008, Robert Malley stepped down as an informal foreign policy adviser to Obama’s campaign when it was revealed that he met with Hamas members.

No.

"The other guy did it too" is NOT a valid justification.

   We know what keeps Bannon up at night, disseminating feeds to all his and Trumps press minions about how bad Obama was, even Pecker at the NE is feeding at the WH trough, reframeing the argument is not a winnable strategy, IMHO.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
