Nothing but lies from Obama. Nothing but lies from Hillary. Democrats are human waste.

The dumbed down low information voters could care less. Football season starts this week, the new shows for the fall start showing up on TV so everything is right in their little world. Meanwhile, the Republicans are hiding in the tall grass...

Cash can’t be electronic banking frozen.

Iranians are smart enough to know how to bring closure to a specific event. There is not thing one anyone can do now that cash is in hand.

Yeah, and this is what we know about. What other promises were made in secret. You can bet there is far more to this treasonous act.

I wonder how many nukes that will build in a 3rd world country. I imagine a helluva a lot more tha they coul in the U.S. Obama just handed the means for Iran to develop the tools needed to bring about Armageddon. I believe this is what this is really about. The man is working directly as an agent for Satan.

Treasury Department spokeswoman Dawn Selak said in a statement the cash payments were necessary because of the “effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions,” which isolated Iran from the international finance system.

... but cash is just fine!

Nothing says underhanded, illegal, coverup like a large cash payment.

Who authorized the treasury to disburse these funds? Only Congress can do so.

Rubio is proposing a stop to that as Iran did not meet the requirements of the Bill passed in 89. That fund has provisions. Here is Rubio’s Bill of Sep 6th,

It was food off our children’s plates and clothes off their backs. Obama doesn’t care because his kids go to private school that employs 5 star chefs.
