Republican senator and Iran deal

Republican senator took million dollar bribe from Israel to sabotage Obama’s Iran deal

In the wake of the revelation this week that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was caught on tape bribing unnamed republican members of congress to vote against President Obama’s Iran deal, angry Americans have been asking for specific names and numbers in order to gain a better understanding of just what level of treason has been committed. Now it turns out one republican name has surfaced in particular, and one very large dollar amount. That name won’t come as a surprise to those who have been watching closely.
Tom Cotton is the republican senator from Arkansas who had been loudly leading the charge against the Iran deal from the start. He spearheaded a letter signed by forty-seven republicans who informed Iran’s leadership that they would do everything they could to undermine the deal if they ever gained executive power. Cotton also led the hyperbolic and dishonest rhetoric against the deal which often had him sounding like a cartoon character. It turns out he had a good reason to be so one-sided: Israel gave him a million dollar campaign contribution for his efforts.
The “Emergency Committee for Israel” contributed the million dollars to Tom Cotton’s campaign before he even took office, effectively buying the senator for any future needs. Sabotaging the Iran deal ended up being the favor that was called in. However, despite Netanyahu’s money and Cotton’s efforts, the Iran deal became law anyway. Iran recently forfeited its nuclear materials as part of the deal. Addicting Info has more on the Tom Cotton bribery.
