IIRC, these are not taxpayer funds but frozen Iranian accounts.

DL, we’re likely to be locked up if Illary wins..

Maybe. Don't think I haven't thought about that.

So far as he says. He's a liar most of the time, ya know.

"IIRC, these are not taxpayer funds but frozen Iranian accounts."

Then shouldn't be any problem telling Congress how Iran was paid, right?

[Jane Long]

This is how ANGOLA is ruled.

Or maybe Venezuela.

Exactly!! Is this what we’ve come to accept????

[Jacquerie]

And I’m constantly told that a Article V convention of the states would be dangerous.

As you said, the tyranny is here.

But hey, let’s feel good about ourselves and just keep voting as if we live in a republic.

[mothball]

Do we still have a constitution left after 8 years of this POS?

[RS_Rider]

“Absolute lawlessness. Tyranny. Dictatorship”

All this happening under Speaker ryan.
He’s the one allowing the imposter to play these games.

[Ben Hecks]

Someone on FR posted information regarding the foreign military sales contract that had been negotiated prior to the seizing of the US Embassy. That event nullified the contract and Iran lost the rights to any funds paid up front. We didn’t owe Iran a dime.

The incredibleness continues

“IIRC, these are not taxpayer funds but frozen Iranian accounts.”

There is the problem. They couldn’t access those funds so they used taxpayer funds that were not appropriated by Congress.

Who needs congress if they can’t/won’t do anything?

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

"Who needs congress if they can’t/won’t do anything?"

This is why we have JUDICIAL WATCH!

[Fungi]

Yes, if you have Lyin’ Ryan as “speaker” of the House, and Mitch “Turtle Face” McDumbo as “majority” leader in the Senate. A pathetic group of feckless fools at every position, not to mention the feckless fool on the hill.

[al baby]

It came from the missing 6 billion from the state dept

"I guess Allahu Akbar then Paul.

Integrity, doing the right thing, and character don't pay as well Mitch. Helps me sleep at night knowing I provide for my family at the expense of what I am suppose to represent."

[DiogenesLamp]

This is how ANGOLA is ruled.

Or maybe Venezuela.

I half jokingly said when he was elected:

This "African" leader is going to run our country the way African leaders run African countries.

I'm really not surprised that he has been a corrupt bumbling failure.
