The Daily Beast reported Friday that former members of former President Barack Obama’s administration are 'advising' the Iranian regime.
Betsy Woodruff noted (original quotes):
As the Trump administration sent warplanes and an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, a small group of former Obama administration officials reached out to their contacts in the Iranian government, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Their message to Iran: Don’t take Trump’s bait. Stay calm.
Conversations between former Obama officials and Iranian government officials have been ongoing since November 2016.
Th Obama alumni are also reportedly passing messages from the Iranian regime to congressional Democrats:
Three Obama officials who worked closely on the Iran nuclear deal, one of whom is still in touch with Iranian government officials, traveled to Capitol Hill to brief congressional Democrats about the situation. Those former officials said would not say if they passed information from Iranian government officials to members of Congress. Rather, they said they focused on educating members about their experience working with Iranian leaders and how Tehran reacts to economic pressure.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein is already known to have met with Zarif, and was seen with his contact page open on her cell phone.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who led the negotiations that produced the Iran nuclear deal, is known to be meeting with Zarif as well — which President Donald Trump said earlier this month should have earned him prosecution under the Logan Act.
The Logan Act bars private citizens from conducting official diplomacy.

Treasonous bastards, them and those in Congress with whom they speak to. Iran and the governing body there has sworn "death to America!" If this is not an enemy of the US than what is?
So what. Like ANY of these IDIOTS know PRESIDENT TRUMP. Please.
Grow up people. Every single country has a lobby inside DC. Isreal has perhaps the biggest. Want to call this out, fine. But stop woth the selective outrage
Not treason, but it is a violation of the law. Need the AG to do his job.

There are 2 versions of Globalist Elites: Left and Right
The 2 versions are for the Public's entertainment.
The elite prefer for the Public to believe they have power (voting)
They do not.
Both sides are on the same team: Globalist Communists
They believe their families are destined to rule over the rest of the world.
God has ordained them to be our masters.
We are goyim (cattle)
Useless eaters.
