Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.
A total of $11.9 billion was ultimately paid to Iran, but the details surrounding these payments remain shrouded in mystery, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
In total, “Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals,” Dubowitz disclosed.
New questions about these payments are emerging following confirmation from top Obama administration officials on Thursday that it was forced to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash prior to the release of several U.S. hostages earlier this year. The administration insisted that cash had to be used for this payment.
Top administration officials were adamant that the cash payments were the best way to ensure that Iran got immediate access to this money due to its ongoing difficulty accessing international funds still sanctioned by the West.

Why don’t they haul BO before congress? Haven’t sitting presidents been there before for illegal behavior?
Because the Muslim Brotherhood and their sympathizer are running the US government.
It seems that Democrats — Obama, Jarrett, Clinton — view foreign policy as a profit center. How much of this money ended up in their offshore bank accounts?
Correct. Not only our they running our government, they are fortifying themselves with our money and gold. When do we stop just talking about it, and defend our country? We can blame Ryan and the GOPe all we want,mite isn’t getting the job done.
Between Jarrett and Huma, yeah, basically.
We are betrayed.
Wonder how many billions were paid in gold? Gold in anticipation of The coming financial collapse? I still think our nation is being blackmailed for a whole lot more than the released prisoners.
I think Obama sees himself as the muslim unifier--bringing all muslims together.
Once the world is under muslim rule, the differences can be sorted out.
Actually, it's a very good bottom line approach...if you are a wannabee Mahdi.
Oh, he's full of shiite alright, and sunni not admit.
Muslim unifier? Maybe, for sure he's no American unifier.
It's a gift.
Says Valerie Jarrett...Iranian Muslim.
Oh, to live long enough to see this all play out. Or not.
I wonder how much they gave the Castro
Regime in Cuba to be nice to Obama??
I also wonder how much of the 33 or so billion dollars
Obama and his Democrats helped themselves to? What Republican
Congress critters got paid off to look the other way?
The UniParty/Globalist Congressional Cabal,
looking after America's interests again.
O’Bummer!!
Instead of tossing our money away, pay down the National debt!
If Trump wins, the Left’s house will come crashing down.
He’s not tossing it away...he’s funding jihad, like a good muzzie.
For jihad.

OK...this is getting interesting. The money went somewhere, but I bet it all did not go to Iran.
I look for Iran to announce they didn’t get no where near that amount and Obamie is going to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
