TraitorTots

++Bobby Jindal said this afternoon that he signed the letter to the Iranian leaders. Interesting. Is Tehran Tom Cotton going to circulate the letter to all aspiring GOP nominee?

++Hillary Clinton didn't take the bait at her UN press conference over the e-mails--which, in my opinion, was a nothingburger. She says the letter either was meant to help the Iranians or harm President Obama.

++Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks went "Unchained" for a segment blasting the GOP as pen pals for the Ayatollah. He said it was unprecedented that Congress would go to a leader of another country for advice and use that to criticize a sitting president. He said the letter was literally "burning up a peace treaty". He accused the Republicans of not loving this country but bathing in their hatred for President Obama.

++Sam Seder of the Majority report went after the Republicans as coming as close as you can get to violating the Logan Act. He lambasted Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Kelly Ayotte for signing this. He noted that much of foreign policy were executive agreements and that what the authors of the letter did was raise in question any agreements reached with the United States and any other country. He pointed out that the most restrictive economic sanctions against Iran could be lifted by the President himself. He pointed out that Iran would be put under a strict regime of inspection and that at the worse they would have one year to break out--that is ,possess enough uranium for One nuclear bomb. 

++While Glenn Greenwald appears to back the letter,just saying that everyone should be allowed to disagree with President Obama,Intercept, the webpage he is editor of, noted that shortly after Tehran Tom released the letter he met in a private meeting with Defense Contractors. 

++The Letter actually confuses those trying to restrain President Obama. What it basically says is do not make any agreement and keep on processing uranium. It is the same as Bibi's bizarre speech to the Iranian people about what a bad deal it is. So don't sign it because you'll be better off.
