It’s very simple: He is not “An American”

He plays for the other team.

Let’s see.... 400 million $ will pay for how much plutonium????

We’re back to the days before Pres. Jefferson began to build a navy to oppose the Muslim Barbary pirates back then. It is not a close analogy because the Founding Fathers did obey the Constitution, but when it comes to the Muslims, the analogy holds.

The real question is not whether the Obama administration engaged in subterfuge in order to conceal the fact that they were paying ransom to hostage takers but whether the Obama administration was using ransom payments in order to conceal a policy of subsidizing the Iranian government?

Obama administration insists there was no quid pro quo, but critics charge payment amounted to ransom

Of course it was ransom, and funding for terrorism and nuclear weapons

It’s Obama’s Globalist version of Hillary’s speaking fee and Bakshish for a job well done.

400 million will buy a lot of weapons to be used against us.

Can the citizens impeach Obama and his cabinet? There must be a provision in the US Constitution to allow for us to do this. Obama is a terrorist.

This makes every American overseas a target.

Blackmail, once paid, becomes known as a revenue stream. If the government doesn't pay just shoot the victim, dump the body and try again. Pretty soon the guys with the Big Bucks will pay. Big Bucks.

They have proven they will - with pallets of unmarked bills in foreign currency and the blessings of the President of the United States.

Never pay terrorists. This is the sickest American weakness is our beloved history. Totally humiliating.

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.

“As we’ve made clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding claim…were completely separate from the discussions about returning our American citizens home,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said. “Not only were the two negotiations separate, they were conducted by different teams on each side, including, in the case of The Hague claims, by technical experts involved in these negotiations for many years.”


YEAH SURE. GEEZ THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID AND THEY SIMPLY DON’T CARE.

“Donald Trump please pick up the courtesy phone. :-)”

Sort of makes Obama’s statements earlier today about not being able to accept a Trump presidency sound a bit ominous, eh?

The Obama administration can create enough cover from the Iranian nuke deal. It isn’t right, but they can pull it off. Especially with a willing mainstream media. The liberal press has much more power than we are willing to realize IMHO.

Trump need to RUN with this big time tomorrow!

And WHEN will Trump start running TV ads defending himself against the left, and going after Hillary? From what my friends who live in swing states tell me, they've seen NO Trump ads yet. What's going on?? We're only about 96 days from Election Day...
