We are still paying the piper for Jimmy Carter’s disastrous handling of the Shah and then our hostages.

And people wonder why Netanyahu is taking his chances with Russia’s Putin.

Putin was fully behind the Iran nuke deal. He claims he played a major role in it. Russia and Iran have been allies for years. See post 18.

Or... they could give the money confiscated from the taxpayers back to those who actually earned it.

Don’t look to Congress ~ they are his partners in crime.
As DJT says, the entire system is rigged, and to fix it, we should not look to the insiders who rigged the system in the first place, but to the outsiders, aka We the People.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Iran had no banking problems when shopping all over Europe for rainy day items - before or after the first pallets of cash. So please, Zero, don’t insult us again with any more bald-faced lying that Iran just absolutely had to be paid in cash because they didn’t have a freaking bank. We may be busy hard at work to provide all those greenbacks you’re tossing around like candy, but we still can see a con job from a mile away.

This is nothing short of treason.

Obama is making sure that there will be a war involving Iran and the USA in the near future.

Hey Republicans, when is it considered high treason?

With this, we see very clearly why Hillary keeps bringing up imaginary collusion between Trump and Putin (on the flimsy basis that Putin said something about Trump).

The Democrats are engaging in open treason. Hillary’s entire campaign against Trump is to try to make people see him as worse and more dangerous than the Democrats. Everything is projection, with the Democrats. And our uneducated populace keeps falling for their lies.

Some please explain exactly how odumbo and his ilk got their thieving hands on 1.7 Billion in foreign money WITHOUT the approval of anyone within the various government bodies? I’d suggest we start an investigation since nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing over and over again. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised it these money grubbing thieves paid THEMSELVES with foreign monies. (Perhaps that’s how they get soooooooooo rich once they wind up in DC.)

A lot of good it has done. Iran continues to harass the US Navy:

The traitor in chief has made more deals with our enemies and former enemies without the approval of Congress. This Congress has allowed Obama to be a dictator. The traitor just gave another 90 million away this week to Laos. Who authorizes these payments?

Like Levin says: He’s financing terror via Iran. But what the hey, supporting terror is pretty much all he’s done these past 8 years all with the full consent of congress. But Trump is the bad guy, right?

Pardon my naiveté, but where in the hell did the $ come from? Isn’t, by law, all spending appropriated by (gag) Congress?

Does the president really have a ‘stash’? More to the point, do OTHER presidents have a stash? (not just this jug-eared lawless one?)

This seems to be in conflict with earlier reports that the $1.3B was wired to Iran.

CTH had documented the wires in the Fedwire system.
