Irresolute Republican opposition
Writing at Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield does not hold back regarding certain predictable Democrats :
Traitor Senators took money from Iran lobby, back Iran nukes
Senator Markey has announced his support for the Iran deal that will let the terrorist regime inspect its own Parchin nuclear weapons research site, conduct uranium enrichment, build advanced centrifuges, buy ballistic missiles, fund terrorism and have a near zero breakout time to a nuclear bomb.
There was no surprise there.
Markey had topped the list of candidates supported by the Iran Lobby. And the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) had maxed out its contributions to his campaign.
After more fake suspense, Al Franken, another IAPAC backed politician who also benefited from Iran Lobby money, came out for the nuke sellout.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the Iran Lobby’s third Dem senator, didn’t bother playing coy like her colleagues. She came out for the deal a while back even though she only got half the IAPAC cash that Franken and Markey received.
As did Senator Gillibrand, who had benefited from IAPAC money back when she first ran for senator and whose position on the deal should have come as no surprise.
The Iran Lobby had even tried, and failed, to turn Arizona Republican Jeff Flake. Iran Lobby cash had made the White House count on him as the Republican who would flip, but Flake came out against the deal. The Iran Lobby invested a good deal of time and money into Schumer, but that effort also failed.
Still these donations were only the tip of the Iran Lobby iceberg.
Gillibrand had also picked up money from the Iran Lobby’s Hassan Nemazee. Namazee was Hillary’s national campaign finance director who had raised a fortune for both her and Kerry before pleading guilty to a fraud scheme encompassing hundreds of millions of dollars. Nemazee had been an IAPAC trustee and had helped set up the organization.
Aiding an enemy state in developing nuclear weapons is the worst form of treason imaginable. Helping put weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists is the gravest of crimes.

The GOP surrender came months ago, with McConnell calling for “regular order” and Senator Corker’s mindless approach in the face of a treasonous Democrat leadership.
From Joe Ott at Daily Sanity: GOP Surrenders Against Obama’s Iran Deal
We don’t believe there is nothing that can done other than face saving measures these articles talk about, particularly as regards the transfer of $100 billion in funds currently seized from Iran as a terrorist state. The Congress has the plenary power of the purse. The money is not Obama’s, releasing it should require congressional approval.

“Treason” all depends on which side you’ve actually pledged allegiance to.
