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?

Part of the State Department’s missing $6B?

Good point , I was wondering that myself. At the end of the article it is said that Congress has several times asked about the financing of this deal, but the only response from the WH has been that it was not paid in US. (And they were satisfied with that response? Unbelievable - except that it isn’t.)

Very believable with our current corrupt uniparty and other assorted traitors as our “leadership”. Disgusting and pathetic.

It would be bad enough if this money was coming out of the personal pockets of Obama and the DNC, but it isn't. If it is taxpayer money, it is coming out of our pockets!

By the way, isn't Congress supposed to be in charge of our money and is supposed to appropriate this stuff? It is not the President's to give away and especially to a mortal enemy! We are long past the point of needed to get a rope...

Most Newspapers all over the US have web sites....... and comments pages that are very well read by consumers.

So all of this can go viral......posted nationwide on those sites.

[Liz]

Go to Congress and ask what’s gong on....and be sure to bring a bucket of tar and a bag of feathers w/ you.

B.b.but Trump was mean to an an Islamof**k terrorist who spoke at the Communist Party Convention who used his dead son to get sympathy. That is the only issue. Mega bux ransom for demonic mullas. No prob.

wonder how many of those pallets got dropped off at CGI in Little Rock?

The height of a stack of 1,000,000 one dollar bills measures 4,300 inches or 358 feet – about the height of a 30 to 35 story building. The height of a stack of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) one dollar bills measures 35,851 feet or 6.79 miles.

---

Not that big a deal.

Make it $20 bills and the stack is only 18 ft high, or 18 small stacks 1 ft high.

Make it $50 bills and you only get 7 stacks 1 ft high.

Would fit into a cardboard moving box - but would be heavy..:^)

And we have to listen to that smarmy former Navy Admiral (John Kirby) turned State Dept “spokeman” lie to us about all of it.

Khan-Con was yesterday.

Today they’re hyperventilating about an alleged “Trumpervention” being planned by Newt, Reince, and RudyG, with hopeful help from the kiddos, to bring The Donald back off the ledge & back into reality. It’s an article from ChuckTodd based on “sources.”

I kid you not. “Sources.”

Oh, and rumors that he’s thinking of “just walking away.” Again, projection by NeverTrumpers based on “sources.”

Did I mention the line to get into his Florida rally started forming early this morning? For an afternoon appearance? (Insert eye roll here)

The MSM - and the democrat party are one and the same. Everyone needs to 'get over it' when thinking about a free press in a great country... it's just not how it is... Thanks for the ping Liz.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Yea, I saw that after I posted it. Thought it was $100 bills that was used in the example. Must have been from an old source when $1 would buy you something.

And josh earnest sounded like a fool trying to explain it away. His circular arguments just were flimsy at best

White House Caught Secretly Airlifting $1.7 Billion US Taxpayer Cash To Tehran

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.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
