Shocking! Iran Reveals Congressional Republicans Tried To Keep American Prisoners Locked Up Until After Elections (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Some shocking news was just revealed that makes Congressional Republicans look even worse than they already did. Occupy Democrats reports that the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Ali Shamkhani, alleges that Congressional Republicans tried to convince the Iranian government to postpone the recent prisoner exchange until after the 2016 election.

Of the incident, Shamkhani said:

“In the course of the talks for exchanging prisoners, the Republican rivals of the current US administration who claim to be humanitarians and advocates of human rights sent a message telling us not to release these people (American prisoners) and continue this process (of talks) until the eve of US presidential elections. However, we acted upon our independent resolve and moved the process forward.”

These Congressional Republicans, who fancy themselves patriots, secretly tried to keep five Americans trapped in an Iranian prison so that they could benefit from their imprisonment. The goal, presumably, was to use their prolonged captivity as a political weapon against President Obama and the current Democratic candidates. The same Republicans who have made it their mission to discover the “truth” about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi  are also responsible for using American lives as pawns, trying to keep them imprisoned for their own gain.

This is not the first time that Republicans have tried to mess with relations between Iran and the United States. Last year, forty-seven Republicans — led by Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton — sent a letter to the Iranian government attempting to scare them out of President Obama’s nuclear peace accord. Republicans were later caught taking bribes from foreign governments in exchange for their efforts to sabotage the President.

With this new revelation, it is clear that the gall of the Republicans in Congress has absolutely no bounds. They will stop at nothing to go behind President Obama’s back and derail his foreign policy plans. This news is depressing, and even those of us who already hold Republicans in low regard are shocked to learn that they would sink so low. Let us all hope they pay for their mistakes with a Democratic win later this year.

      Fair enough – it makes sense why they would have asked for this. And it makes sense that they would ask. Don’t see what the fuss is about: American politicians act in underhand and devious way shocker. Not. Not shocker. To be expected. Next :arrow:

      • RAINCAT

        Sure sure.. it’s plausible. Remember those of the Iran hostage crisis – held until, and released only shortly after Reagan’s inauguration……

        • Leroy Winston

          Ah yes! Thought it sounded familiar. :idea:

          Unless the story is just being recycled this time to have a dig at the GOP -?

          • RAINCAT

            trust no one. except me. haha….

            Watt, long long ago I came across a detailed account (allegedly) of specific deals made in order to withhold the release until the day of Reagan’s big bash. Now gone. Maybe i can search again but as I recall, it was scrubbed clean years ago..

            As for this particular event, only Shadow know, unless more come to light.

            “Is confusing” haha…….

      That bunch of gutless crybabies should have been locked up PERMANENTLY for the way they acted along with whoever ordered them to surrender without a fight. You are to NEVER surrender without a fight and only give name, rank, serial number, and date of birth. This whole thing STINKS of a setup because NO U.S. soldier or sailor would ever willingly do something that stupid. These little boats could have EASILY taken care of their so called “captors” and been on their way. They have redundant navigation systems and the ability to rescue and tow each other if necessary. They did NOT get lost or break down. Again, this whole thing STINKS and the so called”sailors” involved have conveniently been unavailable for questioning about who gave them their orders. This thing smells like a Ten man Porta-John after a week in the sun on a Twenty man job.

      As if this is the first time a political stunt has been pulled. BOTH PARTIES DO THIS STUFF AND USUALLY THE DEMOCRATIC BASE IS FAR MORE GUILTY. Just look at the recent NH elections…..the DEMOCRATS AND VOTER FRAUD. O”Keefe video showing OUT OF STATE PEOPLE with NO IDs talking to the democrat voter office about voting that day and ADMITTING they live in other states, deliberately driving into NH to vote that day. O’Keefe was asked to leave. Or how about WWII or the Federal Reserve…..or HILLARY, BENGAZI… Muslim Brotherhood in every cabinet. There is a long list.
      This breed of congressional republicans at present are NOT republicans at all….but RINOs….very much democrats in sheeps clothing. Only a handful are actual republicans. The remainder have sold their souls to lobbyists just like the MANY CARD CARRYING COMMUNISTS in the democrat party. Let’s not forget about AIPAC!!!!!!!!!!!
      If a democrat gets elected later this year we might as well start digging the hole for the coffin…our country will be gone.

        You think what went on in New Hampshire was fraud, just wait until November. When the Obama/Clinton/Democrat voter fraud machine REALLY gets cranked up, it will make New Hampshire look like a model of voting integrity. Every Illegal alien, out of state, non-resident student, felon, dead person, identity thief,forged absentee ballot, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Green Lantern, Howdy Doody, Rin Tin Tin, and comatose nursing home and insane asylum resident will be out there. TWICE.
