Obama paid $400M ‘ransom’ to Iran
New York Post ^ | August 3, 2016 | Natalie Musumeci

The Obama administration quietly shipped $400 million stacked on wooden pallets in an unmarked plane to Iran in January — just as Tehran was releasing four Americans who had been detained there, according to a report.

The huge cash load represented the first payment of a $1.7 € billion debt that Iran, at an international tribunal in The Hague, claimed it was owed over a failed 1979 arms deal signed before the fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal Tuesday night.

They will discredit all of the logical conclusion by calling them conspiracy theories. The commander of the boat was sent to be captured. The ransom was paid as a cover for giving money to Iran. Same as the drone that was “shot down”. And the whole “nuclear deal” is just another way to give them more money.

The question is, why do they want Iran to have drones and nuclear weapons and money?

Maybe 40% of the country would care if they heard about it.

The UniParty knew this story was about to break, which explains the sudden, coordinated storm of criticism against Trump from all of the Dem, MSM and GOPe shills. This story is bigger than Iran-Contra, but has been muffled by fake noise. Donald Trump threatens their entire corrupt system, and terrifies them like never before. You only catch this much flak when you’re right over the target, and Trump is bombing the hell out of them. Damn them all.

Hillary's honey do list for Obama today:

1. use the word UNFIT in every appearance

2. don't send any emails to BLM until after the election

3. don't leave any voice mails for Ali Khamenei

4. call George Will about "another straw"

5. write today's journalist thank you notes

6. call republican lawmakers to thank them for bipartisanship
