ACLJ Demands Answers: Did the Obama Administration Give Hezbollah a Pass?
By Jordan Sekulow
Did the Obama Administration give one of the most notorious terrorist organizations a pass?
Last week, Politico released a well-sourced and credible report about Obama-era officials obstructing an eight-year Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation called Project Cassandra.
We just issued Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of the Treasury, and the State Department demanding answers as to why and who impeded agents from taking down a billion-dollar drug trafficking ring led by the Iranian-back terror group Hezbollah.
Project Cassandra began in 2008, according to the report, after the DEA determined Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle Eastern military organization into a billion dollar “international crime syndicate” dealing in drugs, weapons trafficking, money laundering, and more. These criminal activities directly fund Hezbollah’s anti-Israel and anti-American terrorism.
Using key witnesses, the agents traced this criminal conspiracy to the highest levels in Hezbollah and Iran. Agents were prepared to file criminal charges against Hezbollah’s envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank involved in laundering billions in drug profits, and key players in Iran’s criminal cells in the U.S.
Instead of dismantling this revenue stream for terror, Obama Administration officials in Justice, the Treasury, and the State Department “delayed, hindered, or rejected” efforts, according to Politico, to prosecute these criminals and terrorists. Why? To protect President Obama’s troubling legacy project: the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal.
