Back in the day, Robert Malley was a “special Iran envoy.” One of the Obama-Biden era nuclear deal negotiators is the subject of a fresh investigation by the State Department’s Inspector General. Instead of trying to find wrongdoing on his part, they’re accusing Antony Blinken of being too harsh on him. Malley allegedly had improper connections with minions of the Ayatollah. While that’s all hush hush, the IG is looking into “the suspension” of his security clearance.
Ties to Iran
When reporters got the scent of an investigation into one of the negotiators responsible for the pallets of cash for Iran deal, they were like sharks smelling blood in the water. Robert Malley is “facing a probe from the State Department’s Inspector General,” New York Post reports.
Then, they go on to explain the investigation is to decide if he gets his security clearance back. Apparently, the Post is hoping he doesn’t.
Inspectors General are supposed to be the government watchdogs. Each and every federal department has their own. Time and again we’ve learned that these watchdogs aren’t snarling and snapping junkyard brutes drooling for a fresh femur to gnaw on. What we really have are old, toothless lap dogs who prefer to nap by the fire.

The investigations they do are meant to sweep any wrongdoing under the rug with a few recommendations on how to do better. Instead of looking for signs of traitorous collusion with Iran, this one is looking for EEOC violations.
In January, The IG’s office for the State Department decided they better give Congress a heads up on what they were working on, because lawmakers were asking awkward questions “regarding Malley’s ties to Tehran.” Giving Iran our nuclear secrets isn’t something to be taken lightly.
“The scope of the special review of the suspension of Robert Malley’s clearance will include the procedures the Department used in suspending the clearance as well as actions taken by the Department following the suspension.” They Ayatollah is furious that one of his favorite rats had his access to the cheese yanked.
Proper procedures
The IG is demanding to know if Blinky’s crew “followed proper procedures in suspending his clearance, determining what access to information he could maintain, and deciding the status of his employment.”
How can he make a living selling secrets to Iran if he’s not allowed to see any secrets? That could be a violation of his rights.
Last April, the Diplomatic Security Service quietly canceled “his security clearance for reasons that are not entirely clear.” Joe had enough problems without that cluttering up the headlines. “In June, the State Department put him on unpaid leave.”

Before that, he was lurching around all over the place with John Kerry helping reduce carbon emissions by helping Iran enrich more bomb grade uranium. Experts say they’re roughly a week away from making a couple and could have a couple dozen in about two months.
Malley “served as the top negotiator of the controversial 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal.” Along with the infamous “pallets of cash,” that “agreement provided Tehran with sanctions relief in exchange for temporary restrictions on its nuclear program.”
Donald Trump tore it up in 2018, then Joe sent John Kerry to Switzerland with a team of negotiators to try and get it back in action again. With any support that idea had going out the window with the war between Israel and Hamas, along with Joe’s chances of re-election, Kerry’s been moved back to D.C., where he’s now mismanaging Joe’s alleged campaign.
