Questions continue to linger about the Obama administrations decision to deliver $400 million in pallets of foreign currency flown to Iran aboard an unmarked jetliner the same day five American hostages were released from Iranian custody. The State and Treasury Departments both told Breitbart News that the U.S. government transferred the remaining $1.3 billion, which was part of the same settlement for which the $400 million was an initial payment in January. However, despite numerous requests, neither State nor Treasury would provide an answer on how the Obama administration allegedly transferred to Iran the remaining $1.3 billion.

More criminal activity and probable treason from the Obama administration.

No doubt the remaining $1.3 billion was paid in something other than cash. They would have a hard time explaining why the $400 million had to be paid in cash while the remainder could be paid differently.

wasn’t the excuse for the pallets of francs, euros etc that Iran didn’t have a bank account?
so was the remaining billion transferred in similar small bills?
and how many ways does cash payments in small unmarked bills violate international banking law?

Hillary Clinton Got Wealthy By Arming ISIS Militants
Assange told Democracy Now that Clinton was director of French company Lafarge
whilst simultaneously serving her term as Secretary of State.
Lafarge attempted to topple President Assad by arming ISIS
and supporting their efforts in destabilizing the country.
Daily Pakistan reports: Hillarys hacked emails include info
on Hillary arming the rebels in Syria which ultimately
became the Islamic State militant group , he went on to say while responding to a query.
Lafarge also has close ties to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Apart from being a regular donor to the Clinton Foundation,
Clinton herself was a director of Lafarge in the early 1990s,
and did legal work for the firm in the 1980s.
During her connection to Lafarge, the firm was implicated
in facilitating a CIA-backed covert arms export network to Saddam Hussein.
An investigative report by the French daily Le Monde
revealed in June that the corporation, the worlds leader in construction materials,
had paid taxes to ISIS middlemen, as well as other armed groups in Syria,
to protect its cement business operations in the country.
But the Le Monde story only covered a fraction of the revelations.
Previous investigations by Zaman al-Wasl, an independent news outlet
run by elements of the Syrian opposition, revealed that Lafarge
had even regularly bought oil from Isis.

The fact that Republicans control Congress and refuse to do anything about this corruption is enraging. Such a long list of this corruption and way worse than Nixon, but they are worked up over Trump!

100 C5s full of cash? It’s the only way.
Seriously, we have relationships with a lot of European countries that have banking relationships with Iran. It was wired.

Will we ever learn that two chunks of the transfer were deducted by consent from Iran, one to Obama c/o his account in Dubai and the other to Hillary c/o Clintoon Foundation ?

A BILLION in small bills would take a 747 freighter to carry it maybe even two.

Those Harriet Tubman $20 bills were minted for Americans. The thought of them going to Iran unceremoniously mixed in with Euros and gold bullion just irks me.

IMHO, the reason they claim it's paid off, and won't divulge HOW is because they let the Iranians have that 'money' back a long time ago.
The $400 million was a separate issue and was a bribery payoff. It was only 'claimed' to be part of the release of held Iranian funds. But it wasn't. That's why it was paid in CASH and without any kind of procedural authorization.

Dear Breitbart:
I go to your rallies when they are in my area. I’ve even signed up to volunteer.
But I can no longer go to your website. All of the bullsh!t advertising crashes my browser.
Best,
