I agree with you here too. I suppose I was looking for US type suspects on the list I asked for, but but I totally suspect a lot names of officials in countries still aboard the deal would surface as well.

As much as I dislike him it is highly doubtful Kerry is on that list, money is one thing he does not need more of.

Trump needs to make only one tweet tomorrow morning:

quote:

Iran threatened to release names of western officials who took bribes unless I stick with the horrible Obama deal. My response: I dare you. #MAGA


And then not tweet another thing until after the morning political shows go off on it (so as to not do anything to distract them from the topic).

This may not go the way they think.

I'm gonna guess all the Obama administration, plus a few GO took the moneyPe a-holes like McStain.

I say bring it on!

While I think the list includes American officials, I'm with you. I think that's the reason why we have had some exclusive guests visit the White House the last few weeks.

Daring them to wouldn't work, as they don't want to be seen being told what to do.

Trump needs to pull the ole "please don't throw me in the briar patch" approach.

I’m not sure I believe this

Wouldn’t that basically be Iran saying it’s a shitty deal for the US? If it required bribing then it was a shitty deal for us by definition.

Seems strange they would admit this, but we can still hope

You have to believe the man is a time traveler. He somehow knew pulling out of the deal would cause Iran to lose their shite

And turn ON ALL Americans

They expected someone who was bought to stay bought.

They also believed Barry and company telling them they fixed the upcoming election to stay in power.

It could well be that, hopefully if they go through with this they release bank records to prove it.

Even if it is only European officials, if any of them are prominent Germans then that Der Spiegel writer ends up with massive Der Scheisse on his/her face. Any European country with a high-ranking official on that dole that has been vociferous about how the US shouldn't pull out puts their entire country at risk of being viewed internationally as being for sale.

Unless there's someone in Trump's inner circle, there's no lose in this situation for TOGO (The Orange Glorious One).

He thinks so far outside the box that no one can predict where he is going and he is often criticized by people who will not accept he has a plan and know what he is doing. Mt Rushmore is calling

That's how I read it too.

Remember the enormous bribes European officials and elites were engaging in with the Iraqi oil for food program? It was so bad it pretty much blunted any effects from sanctions.

Imagine 8 years of Obama with Hillary at the helm in the State Dept......must have been like ringing the dinner bell at fat camp.

Or it is standard government practice on all deals to demand bribes?

What kind of threat is that? This is exactly what we want



It's not a threat to Trump, but to those who took the bribes and they are saying do something now with Trump or we will release it.

Maybe. I just don’t see how this would benefit Iran now or for future deals
