Using “non-US currency” ... Euros?
I always wonder:
How much of that cash was deposited into the treasury of Iran, and how much was skimmed off, by the guys who drive forklifts and trucks and met the plane at the airport?
Unbelievable.
In two ways... most important: If the santions were working, why screw them up? What was the benefit? Mullah-goodwill?
The second... It’s hard to believe that with the signing of a $150 billion deal, with subsequent instructions to banks, that anonymous cash payments were going to be necessary. Maybe the Iranians didn’t believe and wanted cash on the barrelhead. Real bazaar mentality there.
And, Obama went right along with it, either as rube or as co-conspirator.
A great way to enable Iran to have untraceable funding to terrorists. Destruction of western civilization seems to be the goal.
Even if we’re saying that Iran was isolated from the international banking system and all that, with the lifting of such sanctions, wouldn’t they be reconnected?
And upon reconnection, wouldn’t we then simply wire the money to them? Was there really a need to dig up all the cash in foreign currencies to pay them in that manner?
Who accounted for the cash at both ends? And do we know that the people in Iran deposited the money into the proper bank accounts, and that none of the presumeably untraceable cash was skimmed off by someone?
Oh please. Such silly juvenile explanations are only believed by the most naive and left side O’the Bell Curve denizens: journalists, international affairs, political science, sociology NS SJW majors.
Nice to know, but bammy is still a traitor, and his henchman kerry is one too.
So isn’t Obama guilty of financing terrorism?
He can’t say the payments to Iran were approved by Congress or were under a valid treaty.
The Iranians didn’t even sign the agreement.
This was straight up paying the Iranian terrorist regime without legal authorization.
BRIBE MONEY supplied by Obama for Iran to use in BRIBING various Western and European officials to SUPPORT THE “IRAN DEAL”.
$1.7 BILLION not exactly chump change . . .and our Veterans do without quality care!!!
Hogwash
was due to better facilitate the transfer of funds to terrorist groups with no electronic/paper trailSame reason drug dealers and black market peddlers only take cash. Out arbitration response should have been a raised middle finger.
He (Trump) was talking about what critics said at the time amounted to more than a billion dollar ransom payment to Iran, freeing five Americans from Iranian jails. The Treasury Department wired the money to Iran around the same time that Tehran let three American prisoners fly out of the country.
Was that different from Bronco Bama's bribe delivery?

Iran’s Military Budget is up more than 40% since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached...just another indicator that it was all a big lie. But not anymore!

It was paid in cash due to lack of a money trail, and the likelihood that due to sanctions in place transfer electronically might come afoul of the law. Not to mention a trail of what the Mullahs did with that cash could be embarrassing to the Obama cult. Money went to terrorists, we didn't know that.
