Here’s The Iranian Video Of “Hostages for Pallets of Money” CNN and Washington Post Claim Doesn’t Exist…

This is a great example of the current state, and competence, of American Journalism. Worse yet, this example shows the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, didn’t even know what’s going on, and Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine also joins the crew of the clueless.

CNN and The Washington Post are both making an absurd attack Donald Trump story out of the most simple and easy to prove claim.

Donald Trump said there was video (yes, that’s a screen grab of the video above), put out by Iran, showing the United States sending pallets of cash in exchange for U.S. hostages.

Trump stated the Iranian’s were using the video to “embarrass the President“. The Washington Post and CNN jumped on the Trump statement and immediately decried it as ridiculous and set out to prove the claim false:

For what it’s worth. Attorney’s for victims families (who died in 1983 Beirut barracks bombing) called and told the family members they could begin receiving their settlement they had won in court against Iran for that attack.

One of the group told me it would be 14 million he alone would receive. Total on hold is a couple of billion.

I asked how they would get this money from Iran and he said they had found some money that had been tied up in a bank and put a hold on it.

I can’t help but think Obama would rush to clean out any monies before any settlements could begin. I bet more will be drained quickly before January.

Trump may or may not have seen this video. The point is that one exists despite CNN and the WP saying it doesn't. It is also available on the BBC,

Of course, the video is not the issue any more than it was in Benghazi. There is no doubt the Obama administration paid a ransom to Iran to get back four hostages. You would have to be a fool to believe otherwise. This is the issue, not which plane video Trump saw.

You are falling into the MSM trap. You are blaming Trump instead of the MSM for their biased and partisan coverage including their outright lies.

Obama didn’t actually trade the hostages for $00 million. He had actually planned on giving them the money all along, hostages released or not.

At first glance I believed this was a video of the cash transfer that Fox News ran. You had all of 3 seconds to look in the top left corner.

Let’s all ignore the REAL story. 400 million in cash was paid for some hostages.

Did it cross your mind that maybe Trump was made aware of this situation through one of this briefings?

Did it cross your mind that perhaps Trump said something he wasn’t supposed to say?

Is it coincidence that yesterday or this morning Obama said that both Hillary and Trump need to keep their mouths quiet about what is told to them in secret?

Trump saw a video.

They got (bought off) future forced takeovers and destruction BY Obola’s and Hillary’s and Ryan’s government.

Small price for your continued life.

The video I saw showed the airplane .. just to show what kind of aircraft it was .. it did not show the loading or unloading of the pallets.

In addition, I also heard a radio interview with one of the freed hostages. He said their release was delayed until the cash arrived.

These pallets of cash will hang around Obama's neck for the rest of his life.

Since Hillary is but a proxy for Obama, these stacks of cash will hang on her neck for the duration of this campaign.

The lives of all American military--for that matter, the lives of all Americans--have been placed on the block of the terrorist marketplace by Obama's cowardly cash deal.

B. Hussein didn't want to have a hostage situation destroy the end his term--and boost Trump into office in a replay of the Jimmy Carter-Ronald Reagan campaign of yore.

“... Obama said that both Hillary and Trump need to keep their mouths quiet about what is told to them in secret?”

Oh, really?

So we should just secretly/illegally pay Iran $400M in ransom money? Ok, got it.
