Today's Americans (voters):
"Did'ja get the mail?"
"Yeah. 'People' and 'Us' arrived."
"Good. Pass me the remote."

What Donald Trump has proclaimed the worst deal ever made, may just have become worst-er. The shocking truth behind the US-Iran nuclear deal, as WSJ reports, is that John Kerry and the Obama Administration airlifted $1.7bn of cash in 'compromise' payments (read - bribe) to Tehran to ensure the release of 4 captured sailors coincidentally the same weekend as the signing of the nuclear deal.
< - SNIP ->
Of course, senior U.S. officials denied any link between the payment and the prisoner exchange. They say the way the various strands came together simultaneously was coincidental, not the result of any quid pro quo.
But U.S. officials also acknowledge that Iranian negotiators on the prisoner exchange said they wanted the cash to show they had gained something tangible.
<-SNIP->
And now comes the big test of the mainstream media in America - can they stop discussing Trump and Khizr Kahn for long enough to question the deliberate obfuscation of facts in yet another foreign policy snafu by the administration?

PING!!!

Thanks, ScaniaBoy
Pretty hard to use a secret payoff to show something tangible...
Secret for the US Congress and the American public only.....
Democrat Party operation? That was Obama’s and Hillary’s operation. And yesterday, the Community Organizer, whatever that is — and you can be assured it is nothing — stood up and tried to make us believe that Trump, who has built a ten billion dollar empire, doesn’t measure up, cannot reach the heights that he has so successfully achieved.
I was gonna say it was $400 Million yesterday.
Iran has the emails!!!!!!!!!!!!
Foxnews said the payment violates US law, but the traitor trash congress will not hold the lawless traitor Obama accountable.
Our incompetent Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was the one who started talks to give 400 million dollars, in cash, to Iran. Scandal! @realDonaldTrump 6:23 AM - 3 Aug 2016
Just warming up. He's going to poke holes in the Clinton campaign narrative that the press will parrot. I figure there will a press release, not that the press refers to them on air.
Intent to skirt the law because of the currency exchange from US dollars into francs and euros.
There’s your intent to match up with the actual crime.
Arrest, trials.
So where does this money come from? Seriously. Somebody has to have this “in a bank”, somebody had to put it there, and somebody has to release it. Doesn’t transferring money like this take House approval? I do not think the President has this unilateral power.
Apparently no one will stand up to Obama. He had never had any opposition from anyone in power in DC.
And they use all that money to pay off Iran, but cannot find one more cent for the VA.
Priorities.
It probably does and should if it doesn't. However, if the opposition Party is the Republican party, whose Congressional members and all they do is sit and stand around masturbating and criticizing Trump while the occupier is systemically destroying the Nation. He can do as he pleases with impunity. Hillary did and still does.
I do not think the President has this unilateral power.
A President probably doesn't. But we have not had a President in at least seven years. The muslim who currently occupies the White House, can do as he damn well pleases with the blessing and assistance of the Republican Party. Whom are, incidentally, too busy criticizing Donald Trump to honor the Oaths that they swore on the Holy Bible, with the closing words, " So help me God."
I hope that answers your questions.
I too believe it was nothing more than an exchange at sea albeit a very clumsy one by our sailors and/or their leaders.
Books???
Dollars to donuts the language seen here is being used to cadge huge donations earmarked for M/M O's post-presidency get-rich-quick plans.
The dangers to US ntl security were apparent when the Clintons used foreign policy initiatives for foundation fund-raising.
Taxpayers demand to see donation solicitation letters sent out by the various Obama fund-raising entities....his 2 foundations and library fund.
Valerie's the one that rites this pap......taxpayers demand to see wire-transfers in and out of Valerie's office.
And if Obama receives donations from Iran, Taxpayers demand his foundations and library fund be closed down.
PING
No.
They want Hillary in office.
Let’s see here.....
1.7 billion dollars.
There are approximately a quarter of million adults in the US, those over the age of 18.
Now, if you took that money and divided it equally, each adult in the US would get about $6800, if I did my math right.
And they are handing it over to IRAN?!?!?!?!
And if a Republican president did that, he’d be charged, tried, and convicted of treason, and rightly so.
Where’s the outrage, democrats?
When fighting infidels, muslims always help muslims. obama is a muslim, put in the white House upon the demand of a majority o voters that demanded a muslim have the rule over them. This is how muslims rule.
Millions of pissed off taxpayers need to go to DC to ask Congress WTF is going on, ya think?
