undermine last administration

The American Center for Law and Justice has filed a
lawsuit against the Department of State for refusing to respond with information that
could document John Kerry's allege "sabotage" of the Trump administration.
The ACLJ
previously filed a Freedom of Information Act request but
received no response other than an acknowledgement of the request.
"John Kerry tried to undermine President Trump in
order to support Iran, putting our national security at risk," the ACLJ
said. "And now it appears that the Biden administration is willfully
trying to cover it up."
The organization said it's a critical issue because of
the "Biden/Kerry Deep State tag-team effort to renew the Iran Nuclear Deal," a quasi-treaty that
never was ratified by the U.S. Senate, as is required by the Constitution.
President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the international
agreement in May 2018. He argued "the heart of the Iran deal was a giant
fiction: that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy
program." Trump said there was "definitive proof that this Iranian
promise was a lie."
"As we’ve previously told you, John Kerry, former
secretary of state under President Obama, along with Robert Malley, who was
President Obama’s Middle East adviser, conducted secretive backdoor meetings
with Iran while President Trump was still in office. Both of these individuals
are now senior Biden officials," the ACLJ said.
WND reported the ACLJ warned when it filed its FOIA
request, "It is very dangerous and extremely concerning that John Kerry,
while a private citizen, was actively meeting with foreign officials to not
only undermine U.S. foreign policy but to sabotage it.
"This creates confusion in the international arena
because it prevents the U.S. from having a clear unified message and contradicts
the established and important U.S. policy of having one president at a
time."
The Washington Times reported Trump's attempt at a
"back channel" with Iran to defuse escalating tensions failed.
The report said that two months earlier, "a
different back channel was thriving in New York" as Iran's
English-speaking foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, met with Robert
Malley, who was President Obama's Middle East adviser.
The Times said it was an "apparent bid to undermine
the Trump team and lay the groundwork for post-Trump relations."
The ACLJ noted one of the officials was John Kerry.
"President Biden’s team actively did what they
falsely accused the previous Trump administration of doing," the ACLJ
said. "According to declassified documents, then-Vice President Biden
himself even inquired about using the Logan Act against Michael Flynn for
establishing communications with a foreign government official.
"However, unlike Michael Flynn, who had already been
appointed to serve as the incoming National Security Adviser, leading leftists
were meeting with Zarif as far back as 2017 – not to prepare to take office,
but AFTER they left office."
A former official told the Times that Zarif met with
Obama administration officials in 2017, 2018 and 2019 before his visa was
canceled.
"The underlying goals of Mr. Zarif’s meetings, the
official said, was 'to devise a political strategy to undermine the Trump
administration' and to continue building up a reservoir of support for the
JCPOA, or another deal like it, that could be drawn up if a Democrat returned
to the White House in 2021," the report said.
The ACLJ said Obama administration officials also
maintained contact with Palestinian Authority officials after the Trump
administration shut down relations.
Mike Pompeo, Trump's secretary of state, said in a Fox
News interview that it's "sad that Secretary Kerry is so unable to get off
the stage at any point that he had to go try and undermine what President Trump
and our team were trying to do."
The ACLJ said: "This sets a very dangerous
precedent. No president, regardless of party, should be comfortable with a
former government official acting as a private citizen to undermine and
sabotage U.S. foreign policy on behalf of their future successor. It’s
dangerous. Particularly when the country they’re meeting with also happens to
be the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism."
The ACLJ said the State Department had 20 days to respond
and failed.
