NBC Contributor on Deal: US Not Giving Anything, Iran Giving Everything

What did NBC think they were getting when they hired as a "contributor"  someone who served as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's translator and who in that role repeated his vicious anti-Semitic rants?

On Chris Hayes' MSNBC show this evening, Hooman Majd claimed the Iran deal is "a good deal for Iran, probably a better deal for the US," and that the US is not giving up anything, that there is no "signing bonus" since "it is Iran's money."  In a illogical leap worthy of the man he translated for, Majd argues that it makes no sense to worry about Iran attacking the US or Israel since it hasn't done so yet.  Ah, right, Hooman: Iran hasn't gotten the bomb yet.  Uh, that's the point.
