BREAKING: Sessions Orders DOJ Review of Obama’s Hezbollah Racket — But Is Anyone Left To Investigate Obama?

According to Fox News‘ Alex Pappas and Jake Gibson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has launched a full review of Project Cassandra following a bombshell report accusing the Obama administration of protecting Hezbollah drug and human trafficking rings to help ensure the Iran nuclear deal was achieved. 

Many believe, including President Trump, that Sessions has abdicated his duties as Attorney General by failing to investigate the corruption committed by the Obama administration. Least we forget Sessions has yet to appoint a second special counsel to investigate the Clinton-Uranium One deal, and recently defended disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok from media scrutiny due to his anti-Trump texts.

Fox Business News host Lou Dobbs has even suggested Deep State may an “enormous file,” on Sessions, “prohibiting him from serving the president he signed up to serve.”

Fox News reports:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is launching a review of a law enforcement initiative called Project Cassandra after an investigative report was published this week claiming the Obama administration gave a free pass to Hezbollah’s drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations to help ensure the Iran nuclear deal would stay on track.

The Justice Department said in a statement to Fox News that Sessions on Friday directed a review “to evaluate allegations that certain matters were not properly prosecuted and to ensure all matters are appropriately handled.” […]

DOJ officials told Fox News the review could lead to new prosecutions of people affiliated with Hezbollah. It could also lead to an Inspector General investigation of personnel matters relating to the project.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and other lawmakers are also examining ‘potentially criminal’ evidence that could implicate former top Obama officials, including NatSec official Ben Rhodes. This week, DeSantis and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) instructed the Justice Department to hand over all documents relation to the alleged scheme.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Congress instructed the Department of Justice on Thursday to turn over all documents and communications that may be related to newly disclosed efforts by the Obama administration to handicap an investigation into the terror group Hezbollah and its Iranian benefactors, according to a letter sent to Attorney General Jeff Sessions obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. […]

“I’ve long believed that the Obama administration could not have done any more to bend over backwards to appease the Iranian regime, yet news that the Obama administration killed the investigation into a billion dollar drug ring that lined the terrorist group Hezbollah’s pockets in order to save its coveted Iran deal may very well take the cake,” DeSantis said. […]

Congressional leaders have begun a formal investigation into the matter and petitioned the DOJ to hand over “all documents and communications” that may shine light on “interference with the DEA’s law enforcement efforts against Hezbollah,” according to a letter sent by Reps. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) and Jim Jordan (R., Ohio.).

“We have a responsibility to evaluate whether these allegations are true, and if so, did the administration undermine U.S. law enforcement and compromise U.S. national security,” the Republican lawmakers wrote to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The Obama administration is believed to have deliberately put the kibosh on charging numerous drug dealers and arms dealing, such as Hezbollah operative nicknamed the ‘Ghost,’ and Abdallah Safieddine, the terrorist organization’s de facto envoy to Iran. All the while both Hezbollah and Iran made massive sums selling “drugs, weapons and used cars, [along with] diamonds, commercial merchandise and even human slaves,” say ex-Project Cassandra agents.

POLITICO previously reported:

Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

“This was a policy decision, it was a systematic decision,” said David Asherseasoned illicit finance expert who helped establish and oversee Project Cassandra as a Defense Department illicit finance analyst.

“They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.”

According to Meyer, Project Cassandra’s finding were so damning that the Obama administration believed they threatened fragile nuclear negotiations with Iran.

They said senior Obama administration officials appeared to be alarmed by how far Project Cassandra’s investigations had reached into the leadership of Hezbollah and Iran, and wary of the possible political repercussions.

As a result, task force members claim, Project Cassandra was increasingly viewed as a threat to the administration’s efforts to secure a nuclear deal, and the top-secret prisoner swap that was about to be negotiated.

“During the negotiations, early on, they [the Iranians] said listen, we need you to lay off Hezbollah, to tamp down the pressure on them, and the Obama administration acquiesced to that request,” a former CIA agent revealed to POLITICO.
