Is Congress Taking Money from Iranian Lobby?

If elected members of congress are taking bribes, err campaign contributions from an Iranian Lobby before the vote of the "iranian deal" should they be brought up on corruption charges? Recently, the president of Guatemala was jailed on corruption charges. Why doesn't our justice dept fight real corruption.

Can any attorneys out there tell us why "we the people" don't have standing to fight this corruption in a court of law?

Well,

If they did in fact get money from a foreign entity then yes they should go to jail. However, I think to be fair the ADL pushes a bunch of money as well. This is why I am for campaign finance reforms, where lobbies and corporations should be restricted on how much influence they are allowed to exert on punlic policy. If your article is true, its just business as usual in Washington until enough people finally recognize it and vote them out.

So I'm going to guess that this isn't covered by Citizens United since this is a lobby for a specific country?

Cpl Private RallyPoint Member they aren't arresting them because they are taking notes from them on how to line your pockets on the backs of the American People.

I voted yes and jail time if it is proven... but like so many other items this too will be swept under the rug and forgotten.

Pants On Fire Huh?

Internet posts say three Democratic senators 'took bribes from Iran' to support nuclear deal

There’s no question that the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran has unleashed passions. Some of the passions directed against the deal are clear from a recent series of Web posts accusing Democratic lawmakers of accepting bribes from Iran to approve the deal. We first became aware of this allegation when a reader directed us to a post at the website Jewsnews.co.il, headlined,
