President’s Statement
“Made available the funds”
That is a direct statement of fact. There was no rational reason to unfreeze the Iranian assets knowing full well Iran, the leading State Sponsor of Terrorism, was going to use those fund attack on our personal and our allies.
That the Obamabots are desperately trying to obfuscate facts with the utterly irreverent twaddle that “it was their money” is the despicable lie here.
See page 18 at the link Post 61
His argument is the same old, tired argument that the money belonged to the Iranians. It did not. The Obama’s used a court case that agree with their position while pending litigation was still in progress (the lawsuits against them from the relatives murdered by them). I look forward to the day that old horse face is held accountable for his illegal acts...
The $1.7 billion was in the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund.
Sorry for giving you vertigo. Plus I forgot to say the station I leave on, muted, is Fox Business. Real stuff goes on there and I kinda get the pulse of the world just looking over occasionally at the crawlers onscreen.
If I see the President or Maria Bartiromo on, I turn it up.
Probably gave them $100 billion and skimmed the other $50 billion to divide amongst themselves, as we are seeing with Ukraine.
Otherwise why do pallets of cash in the middle of the night?
In his statement, Trump said “made available,” not “give.”
As you point out, the details have secondary importance, “the effect is the same.” Iran obtained financial resources that it would not have had but for Obama administration action.
Many EU countries have been subsidizing Iran’s proxy terrorism too.
It was 149 billion. 9 hundred and 99 million......and 99 cents.

No, the outright lie, John, was that you were a war hero.

Another part of this cash transfer was that US dollars were exchanged for Euros. I understand it is illegal to actually transfer US dollars in CASH to Iran.
Also, all the money was not flown to Iran. Some was flown to other banking destinations.
Prior to the 1979 Islamic revolution the Shah’s government had made a payment to the US for aircraft. The aircraft was never delivered. The funds for the aircraft had been held in bank accounts for almost 40 years. It had gained a substantial amount of interest in that time.
Tucker is Libertarian and that side of him has been coming out more and more recently. Otherwise their prime time lineup remains pretty conservative.
Mohammad Javad Zarif was Kerry’s counterpart in the Iran nuclear deal / also his daughter’s (Vanessa) father-in-law.
“ They told stories that at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam...”
-John Kerry
“...instead we freed up $150B of Iranian assets that Jimmy Carter had frozen.”
Most of us were aware of that, but the money was freed up and GIVEN to a terrorist regime.
Did they not only subvert banking laws by using currency from other countries?
