The only way to deal with a maniacal regime like Iran is from a position of strength. Giving unilateral concessions in the hope of engineering better behavior will not work when a regime is dedicated to a totalitarian and suicidal ideology.

The damage done by the Iran deal has been significant, mostly due to the massive cash infusion the deal gave to the Khamenei regime and particularly to the IRGC. Imposing sanctions can reduce the flow of money to the regime.

The Iran deal has never been the law of the land because it was never ratified as a treaty by the Senate (or enacted as statutory law by Congress). President Trump had every right to withdraw the U.S. from what was effectively an Obama executive agreement.

POTUS has consistently & correctly recognized Obama-Khamenei nuclear agreement as a disaster. Hope he allows domestic sanctions against Iran to be imposed. Won’t fully rectify mistake of the deal but can be start of an approach that holds Iran accountable for malevolent actions.

Mike Pompeo will make a great Secretary of State and should be overwhelmingly confirmed. That the vast majority of Dem senators will oppose him just demonstrates that their default policy reflex is knee-jerk opposition to the Trump administration.

Looking forward to joining @seanhannity tonight on @FoxNews at 9:30 PM. I hope that you will tune in.

Over 100 years ago, the Ottoman Empire forcibly deported and killed over 1 million innocent Armenians. Today we remember the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide and the men, woman, and children who were subjected to the brutality of the Ottoman forces.

Referral of Comey due to transmitting classified info was justified and this IG action is probably just the beginning. By leaking two classified memos for political purposes, Comey will have a hard time demonstrating that his actions were lawful.https://twitter.com/brookefoxnews/status/987376102078328833 …

Tragedy that a special counsel investigation was launched by leaking of the memos (which Comey has admitted). No basis in the memos to trigger a criminal investigation & it is to the discredit of Rosenstein that he caved to the pressure of the media/Democrats & appointed Mueller.

Memos paint the picture of an innocent man: Trump was frustrated that Comey kept telling him he wasn’t under investigation yet the public was being led to believe otherwise. Trump wanted his name cleared & his behavior was consistent with someone who hadn’t done anything wrong.

The whole “obstruction” angle was much more a fever dream of the Beltway crowd than it was a serious angle. The memos don’t provide evidence of obstruction of justice; at best, they show @POTUS making an innocuous lament about the fall of Mike Flynn.

The pettiness of the memos is striking. Comey clearly had it out for Trump from the beginning.

Some of the Comey memos contained classified information. Intentionally leaking classified information is a big no no. The referral we sent to DOJ regarding Comey has been buttressed.

Our letter from yesterday referred McCabe to DOJ for potential false statements and I’m glad to see the OIG follow suit. Was wondering what was taking so long. Hopefully this is a step towards equal application of the law by DOJ.https://twitter.com/dcexaminer/status/987032703026585600 …

Barbara Bush was a great American. She had a profound effect on so many Americans and always exemplified class and grace. RIP. Casey and I send our thoughts and prayers to the 41st President and the rest of the Bush family.
