We have not seen an increase in terrorist financing by Iran," Lew told the House Financial Services Committee....

But Lew also acknowledged that he wasn't aware if there was any way to trace how Iran uses the cash.

re. the administration has not seen evidence

They're parsing words like Hillary. Of course they haven't seen evidence... they're not looking for it.

Iran is a terrorist state. Giving them money itself “funds terrorism”.

Like Trump has said, they don't need to use the money for terrorist funding. That is already in their budget. The money will be used to enrich the Imams and to build nuclear bombs.
There, where the money went is solved.


Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal focused almost entirely on restrictions on Iran's Uranium enrichment program while not just ending restrictions but actively enabling Iran's acquisition and deployment in other critical areas of nuclear weapons manufacturing and ballistic missile production

If you study the provisions of the Obama - Kerry negotiated nuclear accord, it expressly assumes that Iran's domestic Uranium enrichment is the bottleneck for Iran's acquisition of an offensive nuclear capability and focuses on restricting Irans domestic uranium enrichment

We now know why this is the case.

Iran's nuclear proliferation partner, North Korea, has recently turned the corner in Weapons Grade Uranium enrichment and the development of long range, nuclear tipped ballistic missiles.

Iranian Uranium enrichment is no longer the bottleneck or path critical item for Iranian or North Korean nuclear proliferation, money and technical resources are

What both Iran and North Korea need now is the billions of dollars needed to start production and the western equipment, hardware, instrumentation technical resources that were denied them under international embargo and sanctions in order to produce and deploy those weapons.

Obama's disastrous Iranian nuclear deal has provided the money and the economic and path critical technical resources for both Iran and North Korea to produce a credible long range offensive nuclear weapons capability in the very near term time frame while simultaneously economically propping those two regimes that were teetering at the edge of economic collapse ironically caused largely by the massive and irrational spending by both Iran and North Korea on their nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs

You cannot see, if you do not look.

“But Lew also acknowledged that he wasn’t aware if there was any way to trace how Iran uses the cash. Republicans pressed him on whether the U.S. recorded the serial numbers on the bills that were shipped to Iran, but Lew said he did not know.”

This is not incompetence, dereliction of duty, nor malfeasance. It’s treason pure and simple.
