Iran: U.S. Surrendered More Than $10 Billion in Gold, Cash, Assets
freebeacon.com ^ | 1/9/17 | Adam Kredo

The Obama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic.

Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House.

The latest disclosure by Iran, which comports with previous claims about the Obama administration obfuscating details about its cash transfers to Iran—including a $1.7 billion cash payment included in a ransom to free Americans—sheds further light on the White House’s back room dealings to bolster Iran’s economy and preserve the Iran nuclear agreement.

Sanctions which were imposed by Congress and have not yet been removed by said Congress.

<>Congress that sits on it’s collective a$$.<>

We desperately need reform. Without a real congress, there’s no republic.

And up to this point we do not have a real Congress. If we had a Congress, a son of a bitch such as obama would have not occupied the White House for 8 years.

Stolen?

Knuckleheads in Iran kidnap American diplomats holding them hostage for more than 400 days causing their assets around the world to be frozen in place.

Should they be let off scot free? I don’t think so. Their actions need to have serious consequences including paying Americans until it hurts.

So you agree with me. The assets were Iran’s and were seized. That is a critical fact to this entire story. To leave that part out or to try to make it sound like the US is just giving Iran money for nothing is dishonest journalism. The article is written to deliberately mislead those who read it.

Throwing a tantrum because of facts? We don’t win from this kind of sloppy journalism. It just makes us look stupid to claim Obama is just giving money to Iran for no reason.

And we were entitled to EVERY penny of it for what they did to the Americans they took hostage! Have the hostages ever been paid for what they put them and their families through?

Perhaps. But that’s not what the article says. It is written to make it sound like Obama is just taking money that was always ours to give to Iran because he loves Iran so much. That’s not a truthful narrative.

I’m sorry...but the words Obama and truthful should never be used in the same paragraph :-)

U.S. Surrendered More Than $10 Billion in Gold, Cash, Assets

“In addition to the cash funds which we received, we [also] received our deliveries in gold, bullion, and other things.”

Other Things?? Nukes?

When is it called TREASON?

Doesn’t anyone in Congress have oversight of what the WH spends??

Is there no accounting for expenditures?

Obama IMO will be brought back next month to testify under oath about the amount and where the authority was for that. Ever tell Congress?
