Inside the Ring: Obama-Era Cash Traced to Iran-backed Terrorists
Washington Free Beacon ^ | Feb 8, 2018 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 02/08/2018 3:01:13 PM PST by Eddie01

The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.

According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force, Iran’s main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The U.S. money supplied to Iran as part of an arms settlement dating back to the 1970s also has been traced to Iran’s backing of Houthi rebels seeking to take power in Yemen. Iran has been supporting the Yemen rebels as part of a bid to encircle and eventually take control of Saudi Arabia.

I believe this too happened during the Obama Capitulation.

Hussein Obama’s plan is working as designed.

I’m sure some of the rest of it was legitimately used, like paying for nuclear weapons research in North Korea.

Wondering what funds the Iranian government. That is when the U. S. isn’t giving them money! Do they tax their people - tax them to be abused? Classifications of abuse signify the amount of tax? What a country!!!

I’d ask a former Iranian friend for the answer but she’s former because she stated to me in 2006 that bin Laden was the smartest person in the world. My husband and I were getting ready to move from CA and she invited us to her home to tell us goodbye. Caught my husband by surprise when I said, “We have to go now”....and we made our exit..

The founders knew more than 200 years ago that crap like this would happen if you let the children of foreign nationals become President.

That’s why the excluded them with the natural born citizen clause.

11 replies so far on something this treasonous does not surprise me.

This is not news to a Freepers.

That’s the story.

"Hussein Obama’s plan is working as designed."

I'm not so sure he wanted us to prove what we all knew anyway or at least expected the MSM to hold up their end and keep it hidden.
