Proponents of keeping the waivers believe “the best way to position for a new deal, is to keep the old deal around in the meantime,” one source said. “There is an active group within the State Department, Treasury Department and Energy Department that sees value in keeping the rump JCPOA alive.”
Bolton and officials at the national security council disagree with the rationale for keeping the nuclear waivers, arguing Iran should not be allowed to preserve its nuclear infrastructure with help from the outside world. Iran hawks in Congress, including 50 Republicans in the House and Republican senators Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marco Rubio of Florida, had pushed for removing the waivers. At one point, they appeared to have the upper hand in the administration discussions earlier this month, the sources said.
“There were a hundred ways to cancel these nuclear waivers responsibly," said one U.S. official familiar with how the debate unfolded. “The State and Treasury teams rejected those options because their actual goal is to save the nuclear deal. So now we've got a situation where they've humiliated President Trump this round and set themselves up for a diplomatic crisis in the fall” when the new waivers expire, the official said.
It's a fruitcake world today. Why not? Nothing makes any sense.

They’re too busy selling off that tech to Saudi Arabia and UAE. Ya know. The journalist killer.
What a joke.
He wants to be sure that when they interfere in the election it’s to help him.
So much like everything Trump does, he is too emotional and either goes off the handle or praises it too much... then it blows up, and then he caves in... then claims victory. I don't think he's unpredictable... he's inept.
He’s quite the paper tiger.

White House defends Trump's Baltimore insults - Reuters TVWhite House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday said he understood why the president's attacks on a predominately African-American Congressional district could be perceived as racist, but said the insults toward Baltimore were not about race. TV You can't shine a turd. TV Trump made no attack-he merely ststed the truth and FACTS-colour or race were NEVER either uttered or insinuated-fake news again TV Isn't it funny that as soon as Trump tweets anything, MSM and Democrats automatically cite skin color. And you honestly think we're to believe you're the party equality? Get a grip.

Trump hosts African American pastors and faith leaders at the White HouseTwenty members of the faith community gathered in the Oval Office to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday, according to one of the participants. Rev. Bill Owens, the controversial founder of a conservative religious organization, said the President did 'more talking than listening' during the event, which was long-scheduled but came after Trump disparaged a top African American lawmaker over the weekend. If they aren’t there to perform an exorcism then what’s the point? We’re not forgetting about Epstein you know. Another show from the greatest con man on earth.

White House Officials Fear There Is No Method to Trump’s RacismTrump staffers believe the president was merely anxious about Javanka. A long history of racist commentary suggests otherwise. They are correct. Dementia praecox isn’t a strategy. It’s a condition. Agreed. Dementia just sets the narcissistic racism free. As if there's a 'strategy' to be the most despicable character in U.S. history. That's actually TRUE!!
