Hmmmm. Well, the lyin' king and john f'n kohn-heinz-kerry(VN war hero extrodinaire) have weighed in and said "Nuh uh." I suppose all we need to seal the lie, uh, I mean deny the ransom lie, is for hildabama to put her two cents in. Then I'll believe it was all a huge coincidence. Oh, wait. No I won't.

If the DNC tells the media it’s not a ransom, it isn’t. Done.

Most Americans couldn’t find their hind parts with both hands and a flashlight, so the media is their source.

Where is the document showing the ‘debt’ is now paid in full? THAT is the real question.

When paying one is a crime.

As much as a concern as it is being ransom, of equal concern is that it was literally paid in paper currency. Only one reason you’d do that in today’s digital world - because it’s untraceable. Why would Iran want untraceable assets? - So they can fund terrorist activities without it being traced back to them. This is incontrovertible proof that Obama is facilitating global terrorism. Breathtaking.

Folks.....it’s how Obama and Hillary do business.

Where do you think that $6,000,000,000 that Hillary “misplaced” as Secretary of State went?

Ransom to our enemies.

After the attack on us at Benghazi, Obama sends weapons, night vision equipment and armored vehicles to Libya, then leaves it all unguarded so that it gets “stolen”. Where do you think that stuff went to?

Ransom to our enemies.

And Hillary and Obama aren’t paying it to help Americans.

Hillary and Obama are using US Taxpayer money to pay ransom/blackmail to keep themselves out of trouble.

Why are we even paying it in the first place? We did that in response to their actions...it was meant to be punitive. Now were saying: “Just kidding! Here’s you money, with interest.” Worst President ever...including Carter.

I don’t believe the cash was for ransom. The ransom angle is just a misdirection. I think the cash given to Iran is simply a gift from barry and valerie, paid for by the American people, to those who share their faith and values.

What everyone is missing.....The hostage release should have been a pre-condition of sitting down with Iran.

Everyone is forgetting that being said by many Repubs.

I believe Trump said it also early on...and the press kinda ignored him on the issue.

Another side note: various US courts have found iran guilty of the deaths/injuries of many US Citizens since 79 and have awarded > $40Billion in damages. Why was that not paid over first?

Because governments routinely reconcile their trading accounts with pallets of Euros and Swiss Francs.

For general knowledge purposes a $400,000 debt paid in 37 years at $1.7 Billion is a shade less then 4% calculated annually.

This is on our US Congress. They continue to allow Obama to do whatever he wants to do without any threat of discord.
