Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing, but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews.
Before Mr. Clinton left office, the intelligence pointing toward Iran’s involvement in the terror attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen and wounded hundreds was deemed both extensive and “credible,†memos show.
It included FBI interviews with a half-dozen Saudi co-conspirators who revealed they got their passports from the Iranian embassy in Damascus, reported to a top Iranian general and were trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), officials told The Washington Times.
The revelations about what the Clinton administration knew are taking on new significance with the recent capture of the accused mastermind of the 1996 attack, which has occurred in the shadows of the U.S. nuclear deal with Iran.
Ahmed al-Mughassil was arrested in August returning to Lebanon from Iran, and his apprehension has provided fresh evidence of Tehran’s and Hezbollah’s involvement in the attack and their efforts to shield him from justice for two decades, U.S. officials said.
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh told The Times that when he first sought the Clinton White House’s help to gain access to the Saudi suspects, he was repeatedly thwarted. When he succeeded by going around Mr. Clinton and returned with the evidence, it was dismissed as “hearsay,†and he was asked not to spread it around because the administration had made a policy decision to warm relations with Tehran and didn’t want to rock the boat, he said.
“The bottom line was they weren’t interested. They were not at all responsive to it,†Mr. Freeh said about the evidence linking Iran to Khobar.
“They were looking to change the relationships with the regime there, which is foreign policy. And the FBI has nothing to do with that,†he said in an interview. “They didn’t like that. But I did what I thought was proper.â€
Mr. Freeh made similar allegations a decade ago when he wrote a book about his time in the FBI. He was slammed by Clinton supporters, who accused him of being a partisan, claimed the evidence against Iran was inconclusive and that the White House did not try to thwart the probe.
But since that time, substantial new information has emerged in declassified memos, oral history interviews with retired government officials and other venues that corroborate Mr. Freeh’s account, including that the White House tried to cut off the flow of evidence about Iran’s involvement to certain elements of the intelligence community.
Chief among the new evidence is a top-secret cable from summer 1999 showing that Mr. Clinton told Iran’s new and more moderate president at the time, Mohammad Khatami, that the U.S. believed Iran had participated in the Khobar Towers truck bombing.

Clinton was a don't-rock-the-boat lazy incompetent (I sometimes refer to him as William the Incompetent). Clinton didn't take the first attack on the Twin towers seriously. Clinton didn't take seriously signs of foreign input into the OKC bombing. Clinton placed a wall between the FBI and CIA, forbidding common-sense information-sharing. Clinton refused to take out OBL.

It isn't even a surprise how low some of these politicians will sink. Congrats, Billy you and your obsession with your willie turned America into a paper tiger and your black liberation theologian is about done ripping it into tiny shreds.
Really glad the Republicans in Congress tried to stand up against this Iranian nuke deal. :sarcasm:

I'm guessing the next shoe to drop will be that his administration had intel about the 1998 bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and did nothing to stop them either.
And yet the DUmmies and the Libtards will STILL obsess over a couple lines in a PDB about Bin Laden and airplanes.

Or that they had details of the 9/11 planned attack on the WTC and Pentagon, but didn't share them with the incoming administration.

Of course they will because they should be renamed the Deflection Party. And I remember the so-called peacekeeping mission to Bosnia in Dec 95 when my husband went...Clinton was such a lying sack of shit then too since after pissing off the Serbs by bombing them non-stop, he sent out the troops to keep the peace :bird: and hubby experienced more gunfire than during Desert Storm. He was a shitty president but Obama is worse and if his bitch wife gets elected, doubtful I know, she'd take the cake.

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. officials conclude Iran deal violates federal law
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/08/exclusive-us-officials-conclude-iran-deal-violates-federal-law/
Some senior U.S. officials involved in the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal have privately concluded that a key sanctions relief provision – a concession to Iran that will open the doors to tens of billions of dollars in U.S.-backed commerce with the Islamic regime – conflicts with existing federal statutes and cannot be implemented without violating those laws, Fox News has learned.
At issue is a passage tucked away in ancillary paperwork attached to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, as the Iran nuclear deal is formally known. Specifically, Section 5.1.2 of Annex II provides that in exchange for Iranian compliance with the terms of the deal, the U.S. “shall…license non-U.S. entities that are owned or controlled by a U.S. person to engage in activities with Iran that are consistent with this JCPOA.â€
In short, this means that foreign subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies will, under certain conditions, be allowed to do business with Iran. The problem is that the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA), signed into law by President Obama in August 2012, was explicit in closing the so-called “foreign sub†loophole.
It is a sham and crime.

It is a sham and crime.
Yet didn't the Senate vote give Obama/Kerry the ok on this?? With this Iran "deal" violating federal laws you cannot tell me that both Obama who is supposed to be a Constitutional scholar and our Secretary of State didn't know that they were violating federal laws. That indicates that the Iran deal was wickedly and deviously meant to destabilize the region further accomplishing several things; allowing Putin and Iran to gain power threatening Israel and the West and promoting terrorists to flee the area to infiltrate the West under the guise of refugees to further advance a caliphate.
Also, I've looked at news sources such as CNN, MSNBC and absolutely nothing (no surprise) has been mentioned on this.
