Shep Smith (Fox News) Trump not 'pulling out' of Iran deal; Trump violated it

Shep Smith scolds Fox guest for saying Trump ‘pulled out’ of Iran deal: No, ‘we are going to violate’ it

Fox News anchor, Shep Smith, wants to ensure there is clarity around the Iran Deal breaking news.
President Trump announced Tuesday morning that the U.S. will no longer participate in the Iran Deal.

However, when sources used the term “pulled out” Smith was quick to scold and correct them.
While interviewing, Jon Alterman, a former statement department staff member, he said that President Trump did not “pull out” of the deal but simply “violated” its terms.
“The deal didn’t have a provision for withdrawal, we are willfully violating,”

When speaking to author, Gordon Chang, Smith interrupted him when he said that Trump “got out” of the Iran deal.
“You can’t really get out of the Iran Deal, there is no provision for that. You can make a decision to violate the deal ...” Smith said.

But good for him, he is by far the closest person to a journalist at Fox.

... I think he is doing a sterling bit of public service by shining a small bit of light into the fake news cesspool.

then this evening I wandered over to freepville to see how they were receiving news of Cohen’s LLC adventures (meh, he’s allowed to do business as he sees fit, cheeze!)

BUT, apparently Brett Baier had some words this evening that gave them a mad!:


With all going on today (Iran, elections) of course the Porn News Network (CNN) is back to Stormy.


I am so sick of these baseless accusations, but Brett LOVES to put them on the 6:00 PM news ...as he just did....and give them as much credence as the New York AG’s S&M true accusations!


I just saw it on Fox....Brett Baier......( I truly have so much anger towards this putz!)
He was equating the two stories


Never watch Brett anymore.
I listen to Dan Bongino’s daily hour podcast during that time slot.



GOOD TIMES!!

He is a voice crying in the wilderness over there but as the dam seems to have busted on “this Russher thing”, maybe it will start to occur to some of their numbskull listeners that maybe there is something to it. This ought to have trump’s anus puckered somewhere near his Adam’s apple so he will be having a sad tomorrow. Tweets at dawn ought to give us a clue how his day will go.

As for Avenatti, I’d hire a team of body guards and stay away from small planes if I was him. Do we think he will play himself in the movie version of this mess??
