Republicans in Congress are criticizing President Barack Obama’s administration for its approval of a $400 million delivery of cash to Iran on the same day the country released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal.
Though the administration says the timing of the $400 million money transfer was coincidental, and part of a resolution of a failed arms deal between the two countries that dates to the Iranian revolution, critics say that a link between the payment and the prisoner exchange is undeniable.
“The claim that the timing is coincidental is beyond unbelievable,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., an outspoken critic of U.S. policy toward Iran. “It is clear at this point that one of two possibilities apply to this administration: either the president has absolutely no idea what he is doing or the president knows exactly what he is doing and is playing for some other team.”

Their ‘next steps’ are to do the usual, nothing.
Wait a minute. Congress controls the purse strings. Where did Bathhouse Barry get the money?
They’ll just sit there as they’ve always done.
Oh yes.....we’ll hear some sh!t from them about how “concerned” they are and “will get right on that” but that we still have to “work” with the Democrats and Obama for the good of the ‘Murican People.
McConnell: “Quick, someone write me a strongly worded letter.”
I hear they plan to write a strongly worded letter AND create a hashtag.
Now can we impeach him? If not now, when? Congress has no balls.
Useless Republican A-holes.
Find some way to blame this on Trump. Attacking him is the only thing you people are good at.
How did Obama have access to $400 million (In small bills of Euro dollars, etc. - not US currency) to be able to do this?
The cash belonged to the Shah’s Iran and it had been sequestered, I believe by administrative action. So it wouldn’t necessarily need Congressional approval.
What about no expenditure except upon appropriation.
Bullshit! The Republicans are considering other ways that they can kiss obama’s ass.
Boy do they EVER owe Nixon an apology. Obama has committed treason 100 times over what he ever did.
don’t forget the televised hearings on CSPAN where they grill some poor Treasury flunky mercilessly and then yell at him.
High time for a strongly-worded expression of disapproval!
Puff chests = fail.
I disagree...the next steps are: wail loudly; become indignant; and go cry in your pillow because some Kenyan POS just outclassed you!
Welcome to the party, pal. What took you so long?
