Why do you suppose the Obama administration is pretending that the $400 million paid to Iran as ransom for the hostages held by that country was not actually ransom, but instead was a settlement of a claim — a claim that we now know was rejected in the courts in 2009?
Not one dime should have been made available. They are a terrorist nation.
And those hostages should have been released as a pre-requisite to sitting down BEFORE any treaty terms could begin.
Can you send me proof that this claim was rejected by the courts for ammo against lib liars who say otherwise? If not, no worries I’ll look it up later but this narrative has taken a hold and if it’s false I’m extremely interested.

Several alleged freepers here bought the Fraud’s story and told us we “owed” the money to Iran.
OK. I see how the Iranian payoff might be handled with these hostages and perhaps the hostages are even willing to be hostages. But I thought Benghazi was about arming the groups that were to become ISIS and their toppling of Assad in order to allow the Sunnis and the to take over Syria. Obama has always sided with the Sunnis and the House of Saud except in his paying off the Iranians. The Iranians must be extorting Obama in some way which is no surprise to me since Obama’s past is nothing but a question mark.
