The dollars that fund spies from Iran [are your tax dollars, given to Iran by President Obama]
Jewish News Service ^ | 08/21/2018 | Jerome M. Marcus

Several weeks ago, an article in the Hebrew-language Yediot Achronot revealed that, according to Palestinian sources, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have received more than $100 million per year over the last few years from Iran. That represents a substantial fraction of the cash that President Barack Obama put on pallets and flew to Tehran shortly before he left office.

Today it was announced that two Iranians had been indicted for spying in the United States for the Iranian government. What were they looking at? Missile bases? Nuclear reactors? Grand Central Station?

No. They were indicted for taking pictures of “Israeli and Jewish facilities” inside the United States.

Where did Iran get the money to pay for this work? They got it from President Obama.

Trump should demand that they give it back, or we’ll take it out of their shipping ports.

The thing about these reports that bothers me the most is how many still insist on calling the Fraud’s illegal reign “incompetent”.

It was not “your tax dollars” that was sent to Iran it was Iranian assets in American banks that were seized back in 1979 the took hostages from the American embassy. I don’t think Obama should have returned the money but if you use this lie in a agreement about Obama the facts will prove you WRONG.

Because the dollars were seized they are the property of the American government and were, or should have been, put into the general fisc. Once there they are the money of the American government, fungible with all of the other money that the United States raises. The U.S. government raises money not only from income taxes but also from duties, fees, and all sorts of other things. But it’s all money that rightly belongs to the U.S. taxpayer.

Doesn’t matter - the only thing that matters is, “did Obama pay off democrat sluts that he might or might not have had sex with’... Not that we’ll ever know because the thugs in ‘intelligence’ would NOT have ‘leaked’ that to the suckups in the press... So we’ll never know...

Thanks, Thomas!

I thought, when I first heard about the pallets of cash, that it could possibly have been the frozen assets of Iran being returned, but sometimes, my political naivete makes me overthink things.

I recall reading that Obama secretly gave them access to American banking institutions but I didn’t realize that the money was theirs in the first place.

———theirs——

The confiscated money was that of the Sha’s government, the legitimate government of Iran

The Obama regime declared the mullahs to be the legitimate government and thus entitled to the money

The money could have been held against claims from the people who were held hostage but the was never allowed to happen.
