Something doesn't smell right about it. Like they're starting to beat the war drums or something not good.

It is not a coincidence that this is being done to give Trump justification to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal. However, what isn't being discussed too loudly is that the documents are pre nuclear deal, and why they worked so hard to get the deal done in the first place.

Netanyahu is conveying that this is newly known information. It isn't, and Netanyahu professing that Iran is NOW not complying with the Deal, counters the IAEA inspectors who have found no evidence of noncompliance.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-hayden-former-cia-director-concerns-iran-nuclear-deal-cbsn-interview-tuesday-2018-05-01/

"In a presentation Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that material Israeli intelligence had taken from Iran proved Tehran was hiding a secret nuclear weapons program, and he called on President Trump to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal next month.

But former CIA Director Michael Hayden tells CBSN's Elaine Quijano, in an interview airing on "Red & Blue" Tuesday night, that what Israel has in its possession just confirms what U.S. intelligence found more than a decade ago...............

I really hope Mueller is able to present evidence so damning regarding trump that he is forced out of office sooner than later.

I heard on the radio yesterday and all I could think was "what part of this story is missing?"

The part that I got was "a HALF TON OF NUCLEAR documents" to the listener they didn't hear "documents"

From before sanctions, before inspections, before it was determined Iran was in compliance. Everybody in the world is playing Trump now because they know he’s an idiot who bases his decisions on emotion not fact. Just say something nice about him and he’ll do whatever you want.

Is it a coincidence that as soon as Asshole Bolton got in there that this comes up?

I think not.

I can only go back to the Willie Coyote graphics of his UN presentation. This is someone that cannot be taken seriously.
