Breitbart ^ | 01/09/2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/09/2020 6:15:43 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” former Secretary of State John Kerry commented on President Donald Trump’s speech earlier in the day.

Trump said the Obama administration’s “foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash.”

Exactly. demonicRATS will always reveal what they are most guilty of by crying the most about it.

What happened, again it’s not discussed much, but $400 million ended up being found in Europe (Swiss Franc, Euro, dollars, etc), and put on a pallet...flown into Tehran. Call it a downpayment, or whatever. The rest flowed later (I think it was four to eight weeks after the first shipment).

Why the cash discussion never came up...has never been explained by bankers or US authorities. Privately, Iranians will suggest that the currency exchange occurred, with tons of Iranian Rials being handed over by the VIP government guys, with a good rate, and the private funds then shipped out of the country.

My understanding is the assets were frozen by executive order by Carter. Therefore Obama could simply reverse it also by executive order.

Thank you for posting a public analysis of the rotten Iran nuke deal (JCPoA) that clearly explains the facts.

I wonder (and hope) Trump has assets keeping an eye on Lurch. Someday, maybe, he'll have enough evidence to charge Lurch with treason.

Hey, I can hope!!!

Usually “court judgments” are negotiated down to some small fraction of the award. So, Kerry’s really the liar here. He knows this.

Him and Obama GAVE this money to terrorists knowingly instead of using it as leverage. It’s as simple as that. The Ayatollah’s most likely would have settled for 5 billion.

It’s fake news to even bring this up now. We all knew that back when.

My talker DJ this morning said the 150 Mil $ was the Shaw’s govt. money (pre 1979) and never belonged to the revolutionary Ayitola’s later govt. Obo turning over that money allowed that later belligerent govt . to have lots of funding for whatever uses..... (excuse spelling please).

They’re using a ‘technicality’ on us. We didn’t exactly give them $150B of US money, instead we freed up $150B of Iranian assets that Jimmy Carter had frozen.

Either way, overnight they had $150B more dough to play with...so the effect is the same. That is about 2 years worth of oil production for Iran, some serious money for them.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

that “payload” of 140-150-bb (depending on where you hear it) was also framed as the product of compound interest accrued on the Iranian assets Jimmah had frozen.

which iirc, was a piddling amount of 10 bb or so.
