Sending a terrorist supporting country pallets of cash has consequences. He will never look in the mirror and say "I did that", so going to his communist background he puts it on all of us solely because he sent taxpayer dollars to Iran.

Pathetic excuse of a human.

PO3 Shayne Seibert - If what he did was illegal, the GOP would have been all over him. They had control of both Houses of Congress from 2015 to 2018.

"The Obama administration is acknowledging its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency.
A Treasury spokeswoman says the cash payments were necessary because of the “effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions,” which isolated Iran from the international finance system.

The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran.

An initial $400 million cash delivery was sent Jan. 17, the same day Tehran agreed to release four American prisoners.

The Obama administration had claimed the events were separate, but recently acknowledged the cash was used as leverage until the Americans were allowed to leave Iran.
The remaining $1.3 billion represented estimated interest on the Iranian cash the U.S. had held since the 1970s."

MSG Stan Hutchison - And yes, they called it interest on Iranian cash holdings, which is a definite red flag/money laundering scheme in and of itself. But, as I said earlier, why cash? we have the accounts of where we seized the money from. Their central bank surely has a way to transmit large numbers of 1s and 0s, unless it was never intended to reach the central bank. Cash is an easy way to obfuscate an end user, in most cases terrorists. So Obama directly supported, with a cash infusion, terrorist activities in the middle east.

For Heaven’s sake, Obama said some stupid stuff and gets a negative response. Who cares what source states those facts?
