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:

Except, the Trump campaign has already said that Trump was talking about the video from Geneva...

So, either Trump didn’t see this video (from Tehran), or he recanted when he shouldn’t have.

Either way, the Trump campaign continues to shoot itself in the d!@k for no tactical advantage.

“With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well,” President Barack Obama said at the White House on Jan. 17—without disclosing the $400 million cash payment.

My question is, what did the BANKS where this money was obtained, bet in return?

They just don’t give up $400M to anybody that asks....................

You’re doing the same thing by falling for the narrative to bash Trump.

Sad to say, Jim, but this will likely have the same lasting effect that Wikileaks had...which is to say nothing. The meme is set and the lies will be endlessly repeated. Even Hillary is not afraid to baldly, openly lie to the media and the people...she is praised for lying! We are fighting against nuclear weapons with sticks and rocks. This is the field of battle of their choosing. Trump is such a good man and patriot. And the globalist establishment is nailing him to a cross.

With every example of the combination of ignorance with a deliberate adoption of false narratives & other forms of deception, by the Leftist media, we need to redouble our dedication that truth must out. America--the very existence of an American future--is the ultimate issue. This battle comes as close to a pure contest between honor, truth & logic, on the one hand, and pure evil on the other, as we are likely ever to experience.

God Bless you for providing a forum to help us keep informed as to what we are fighting against. Trump is the candidate who stands for the continued existence of the American heritage. What Mrs. Clinton stands for is beyond anything merely reprehensible.

We shall see. But in the meantime, we’ll be supporting Trump to the hilt.

Hillary is corrupt as hell and is a flat out America-hating traitor!

Suggest you figure out what YOU stand for.

Pallets of cash, and nobody thought to stash a few compact nukes in the middle of ‘em.

I’m telling you, those boys at Langley really dropped the ball on this one.

I tell you what Jim, I am not the most devout Trump supporter but if Trump would promise to arrest BHO the minute he was sworn in I would start spending my spare time campaigning for the man. My retirement and all my worldly goods I would spend.

I did not say that I am 100% sure of him doing it but just a CHANCE of seeing this POS arrested and having his day it court and a chance to be hung by the neck until dead, I am all in for Trump, 110%.

I agree, it seems this is the best Trump can do. To me it seems he is just unable to stay on a limited anti Hillary message without trying to embellish the situation or make that one additional point that ends up biting him in the ass.
We are in the last 90 days and still his campaign has no discipline, no method of having the focus on all the baggage circling around Hillary.

And now we have a copy in breaking news so the nevertrumper propaganda pushers can choke on it. Thanks.

amongst all the foreign language (Urdu) I heard the word Baksheesh.

Baksheesh is palm greasing and the way of the world. Some one knew baksheesh was required and chose other currencies than US$ for the illegal payment

Was it Urdu or Farsi? Were these Iranians speaking? I didn't see the video. I honestly don't know.

The left is stepping in it big time keeping this in the news by using it to bash Trump. More and more people will see what Obama did and it is going to back fire royally on them. As for the Never Trumpers, they are described perfectly by David Horowitz on twitter today: David Horowitz ‏@horowitz39 We should be calling the #NeverTrumpers Clinton Republicans and jihadist enablers because that's what they obviously are.

——Was it Urdu or Farsi-—

I truly don’t know and it was probably Farsi when I think about it.
