But if negotiations fall apart or produce an agreement that lets Iran pursue a bomb, Clinton would own a piece of the failure. The likely Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of state seems well aware of the implications.

Many Iranian expats in California have doubts about nuclear deal

Posted: 04 Apr 2015 02:54 PM PDT

U.S. Secretary of State Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif arrive to deliver statements after nuclear talks in LausanneBy Daina Beth Solomon LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Many members of the Los Angeles-area Iranian community, the largest in the United States, are skeptical about a preliminary nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, even though a pact could end decades of international isolation for their homeland. The prevailing sentiment in part reflects the history of the Southern California's Iranian community, made up of those in the earliest wave of migration after Iran's 1979 revolution. Many are still distrustful of the Iranian government. A rollback of U.S. sanctions, which have contributed to Iran's skyrocketing inflation and inability to obtain Western medical supplies, will do little to improve the lives of ordinary people, many expatriates say.

All three were removed from their jobs after the Department of Justice discovered the emails, which prompted an investigation by city officials.
