Iran might have a video of America's $400 million cash payment to the regime after all -- even though Donald Trump backed off such claims early Friday amid intense criticism.
An apparent Iranian TV documentary in February about the prisoner swap in fact shows pallets of cash, which the narrator indicates is the $400 million payment in question. The video was posted to YouTube this week, after new controversy erupted over the payout.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that the payment, made in cash, coincided with the release of four Americans, fueling charges that the U.S. paid Tehran a "ransom."
The narrator in the video, speaking in Farsi, describes the money as part of a "swap."
"In this exchange, the Iranians demand the entire four-hundred million in addition to $1.3 billion in deferred interest," the narrator says. “The morning of 17 January 2016, Mehrabad Airport. Four-hundred million dollars in cash is transported to Iran by airplane."

We should just give them the Obama family too while we’re at it.
My theory..
Trump KNEW he was right.. because he SAW the video in an intelligence briefing that was classified.
He was then basically forced to say he hadn’t seen the video after realizing he had revealed classified information.
Iran got wind of the whole issue and then released the video.
Good theory, but I thought I saw today, that he is scheduled to start receiving classified briefings in two weeks.
ah! you may be right. I just assumed he already was.
Our senior intel didn’t know about the video
SoS Kerry denied existence of the video
and it was on youtube all the time - and BBC had it!
That’s as big a story as the payout.
Iran has the emails turning them into cash!
Forget the fact that Zer0 paid $400mil ransom.
The BIG story is Trump showed a video of the wrong plane.
I watch Fox News everyday, and keep on watching it. You can watch the All Barack Channel (ABC), the Clinton Broadcasting System (CBS), Nothing But Clinton (NBC) or the Clinton News Network aka Commie News Network (CNN). While Fox News is fair and balanced, the other 4 are not and that is factual
Obama and company don’t deny it happened, they just try to spin that it was just ‘coincidental” that they supplied pre-laundered cash at the same time the hostages were released....
And that vid has been in YouTube during this entire discussion. Amazing how the media distorts. They aren’t even just taking things out if context. Trump endorsed Ryan, a reporter says, next he will say Mother Theresa was a lesbian. And the headline is about Mother Theresa. The press is making it up more news than reporting it. I turn it all off these days except OANN. If I wanted fiction, I’d read comic books.
The video is making the rounds now... but was released much earlier via internet. Someone probably showed it to Trump but he couldn’t vouch for it’s origins.
God bad news for you. I haven’t watched TV in forever. It’s 2016 man.
That’s what the internet is for. :)
The part with the money pallet isn’t genuine. Notice that they had to blur part of it out? The reason for that is because it is from 1991 and filmed in the US.
See 6:08 from where the Iranians lifted that money pallet snippet from. It comes from a 1991 film showing inside the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington.

Wow... so propaganda? Not sure what to make of any of this now.
The press uses “Trump lied about seeing a video” as a distraction. I saw that used this morning as Giuliani criticized the press for not covering the story of Hillary lying to the mothers of those killed in Benghazi (disrespecting them) the same way it covered the manufactured Trump/Khan issue. Clinton surrogate rebuttal? Trump lied about seeing a cash video, so there.
Not saying the DEMs planted the Iranian propaganda, just pointing out how the DEMs take advantage of mistakes and lies.
