Reuters: Trump accuses Iran of secret nuclear enrichment, says sanctions to be cranked up 'substantially'

WASHINGTON/VIENNA (Reuters) - President Donald Trump accused Iran on Wednesday of secretly enriching uranium for a long time and said U.S. sanctions would be increased “substantially” soon, as the U.N. nuclear watchdog held an emergency meeting on Tehran’s breach of a nuclear deal.

Washington used the session of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-nation Board of Governors to accuse Iran of extortion after it inched past the deal’s limit on enrichment levels, while still offering to hold talks with Tehran.

Iran says it is reacting to harsh U.S. economic sanctions imposed on Tehran since Trump pulled out of world powers’ 2015 nuclear accord with the Islamic Republic last year, and says all its steps were reversible if Washington returned to the deal.

Does the Panting Parrot know that Palm Beach has an Office of the State Attourney?

It is the 15th Judicial Circuit > Palm Beach County

Main Office Location:
401 North Dixie Highway
West Palm Beach, FL 33401

http://www.sa15.state.fl.us/stateattorney/OurOffice/Locations.htm

Now why did not the State Attourney's office prosecute at all?

If Acosta had not got a marker in place, the civil lawsuits may have failed and Democrats would have gotten away scot-free.

What is it with Democrat Donors like murderer Ed Buck or Jeffrey Epstein?

Pictyure's are going to com e pout and Democrats will go to jail?

Why did the Parrot vote for a child molester?

that is what I want to know.

Why did Parrot vote for the enabling wife of a child molester?

"Epstein served jail time and probation and was compelled to register as a sex offender. Acosta has stated that "the plea deal's results were 'better' than risking a trial, which he said had 'a reduced likelihood of success.'"

Parrot not being a logical sort of person and having a low IQ has no questions for
Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer.

In their first on-the-record media interviews about the case, Reiter and Recarey revealed new details about the investigation, and how they were, in their view, pressured by then-Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer to downgrade the case to a misdemeanor or drop it altogether.

Has Parrot donated to Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer's campaign fund?

Does Parrot have a vacation home ion Florida and voted for Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer?

Personally, as the House Rules Committee national security investigator, I learned a lot about this China scandal. I was eventually allowed to co-author a book telling of this scandal: NYT bestseller "Year of the Rat".

Bill Clinton sold America out to the Chinese.

Parrot voted for Bill Clinton.

Ergo, Parrot sold us out to the Chinese?

Acosta is center stage because of a once secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement he reached as US attorney for the Southern District of Florida with Epstein, the multi-millionaire with connections to the highest levels of US politics and business.
The deal was like few others. It covered not only Epstein but also four women who victims allege were involved in his sex trafficking scheme. Court filings reveal Epstein was also under investigation for potential witness tampering after one of his private investigators allegedly forced a victim's father off the road.

Trump assisted the girls in their lawsuit against Epstein, a Democrat mega-donor.

No wonder devout Democrats hate Trump.

Acosta and all the other lawyers were investigate by Epstein's lawyers and investigators.

It was smash mouth politics. Democrats tried to limit the damage.

Acosta still got a harpoon stuck into the Democrat Mega-Donor Epstein.

Panting said...

Nope. Not this or that guy, Democrats:

The now-infamous deal was overseen by Alexander Acosta, Trump’s current Secretary of Labor, whose actions on the case was detailed in a Miami Herald series last year. Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra of Florida said he is considering invalidating the deal, noting that Epstein’s victims should have been consulted about it under federal law.

We know Epstein is pervert/Democrat.

But in the process of discovery what information do you have to prosecute in 2007?

You can use what you get in discovery.

Trump gave Epstein a left handed compliment in 2002.

After 2002 he kicked him out of his club.

Subsequently, Trump assisted the victims in their lawsuits.

But there will be pictures of Democrat Bill Clinton in action laying pipe with a teenager.

Trump banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago estate “because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club,” according to court documents filed by Bradley Edwards, the lawyer who has represented several Epstein accusers.

So it is on the record.

The shit media does not file a FOIA to get the date that Trump kicked the Democrat out of his club.

Instead they just report the Left handed compliment of 2002 as if it is not sarc.

The Criminal files stored at the DNC were downloaded faster than what could done over the internet. So the download was local with something like a thumb drive. So the Russians did not download the files.

Seth Rich had access to those files.

Seth Rich is murdered in a robbery where the thief does not take his wallet. that happens how often?

The DNC's IT provider and the DNC do not allow the FBI to investigate. That would be smoke and a betting person would bet that there is a fire.

I guess that the DNC has special rules. Every other organization has records retention rules.laws. Not so the DNC. They can break the records retention laws.
