My first thought was, oh good, bye Jared. Then I sew it’s another guy with zero experience.

It doesn’t surprise anymore to see someone not competent, in a bigly, important position.

JFC, can they EVER just hire someone who knows what the fuck they are doing?

Resigned from what? Has he done anything except to pocket our tax dollars?

Greenblatt, who didn’t have a formal background in diplomacy or foreign policy, was the Trump Organization’s executive vice president and the company’s chief legal officer before he joined the Trump administration.

No reason given. Resigned to spend more time with his NY state prosecutors?

Sure, why not? Iran is full steam ahead on reopening its nuclear program, so good job guys! At least, they made a bunch of money at only the cost of our national security.

Golly, I’m shocked he wasn’t more successful. Well, I’m sure Trump’s top envoy to the Middle East is an experienced, well-trusted diplomat who… Oh. Wait.

Another well-qualified individual, off to earn his $15,000/Month “working for the campaign” in some unknown capacity.

Greenblatt was probably bored out of his mind…

Actually, they are not. They’re planning an incremental increase in centrifuge capacity, and have said they will increase their concentration of uranium from where it is (about 5%), but still far below the 90% concentration needed to build a nuclear weapon. BUT SCARY SCARY MIDDLE-EASTERN BOOGEYMAN! Put someone rational in the white house (and not beholden to Israel), and Iran will jump at the chance to return to the agreement where they drop back to 5% concentration in exchange for the right to sell their oil.
