So the corrupt left wing media branded the 47 Republicans who signed the Iran latter as traitors. The Tom Cotton letter warning Iran about making a bad nuclear deal with Kerry said that Congress must sign off and approve any deal regardless how bad it was. But the problem is, the letter was never actually sent to the Iranian and Mullahs. There wasn’t even an envelope drawn up for the Iran Letter. Instead, the letter was posted on Tom Cotton’s website and that’s how the letter got out.

| The Iran letter was never sent to Tehran |
Cotton got 46 other senators to sign this letter in ink. “Because it was an open letter, it was not sent to Tehran but rather posted on Senator Cotton’s website and social-media accounts,” Caroline Rabbitt, Senator Cotton’s communications director, explained to me last week. Cotton & Co. never even dropped an envelope in the mail. The fact that Cotton and his colleagues created a letter to nowhere seems to have escaped the loudest voices in this national conversation. Had that letter been posted on the website of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, or the Washington Times, the tumbrels would not be rolling toward Capitol Hill. So, this fight largely concerns which website first carried Cotton’s letter. As Americans debate the wisdom of this GOP gambit, it should not surprise Obama that nearly half the Senate went around him to express its views on what White House chief of staff Dennis McDonough calls a “non-binding arrangement” with Iran. (This sounds like handcuffs without locks.) After all, Obama very openly craves an accord with Iran that goes around Congress. Thus, Obama is getting precisely what he deserves, given his overbearing, anti-Constitutional lust for common cause with the ayatollahs — to the exclusion of America’s duly elected representatives. Obama is desperate for a deal with this radical-Islamic, terrorist-sponsoring, IED-detonating regime. And he wants Republicans to shut up about it.
This has to be a real bummer for all those Obama media lackeys who cried like spoiled brats that the 47 Republicans committed treason or something. Even Greta Van Susteren on ABC yesterdays whined about the letter being sent to Tehran. Problem is, it was never sent.
