Source: Democrat Senator Held Secret Meeting In Munich With Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif
February 17, 2020 By Mollie Hemingway
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and other Democratic senators had a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week, according to a source briefed by the French delegation to the conference. Murphy’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment by press time.
Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia.
“Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,†Murphy said in 2017 after anonymous leaks of Flynn’s phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak were published. He also strongly criticized the open letter some Republican senators sent Iranian leaders during the Obama administration’s campaign for a nuclear agreement.

Did people know, it is often written that under Obama, we tried to realign ourselves, set the reset button or something like that with Iran? This kind of stuff, yes, it was beyond my sphere of knowledge.
Article to read:
https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/289045/obamas-genocidesI was still pondering posting the above though one of the headings is not as inflammatory and it's an hour long read, nearly. I just don't want to throw some article out and I haven't finished reading it yet, it's a bit of a complex matter.
Otherwise, this seems to be important... Ted Koppel, I don't know his political leans but I did feel I was getting the real news from him.
