Here's the first two paragraphs of a new article in Politico Magazine about how president Obama prevented US law enforcement from stopping the criminal activities of the terrorist group Hezbollah in order to win approval from Iran for the nuclear deal.
In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.
I strongly suggest you read the rest of the article. It is HERE. It is one thing for Obama to enter into a flawed deal that he thinks might benefit the USA; many would and did disagree with the Iran deal, but that was a policy disagreement. It is something quite different for the president of the USA to actively prevent law enforcement from stopping drug smuggling and money laundering by terrorists in order to "help" get the approval of the terrorists' sponsor Iran. That's actually real obstruction of justice by a president, not the silly stuff the left is currently talking about with Trump, but a real action by the president to (as they say in the UK) pervert the course of justice. Obama is no longer in office. Perhaps he ought to be indicted for this. At least, there ought to be an investigation.

The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.
