Obama didn’t give them the money from that account...not from ‘their’ account. From what I heard there was some creative money laundering - something along the lines of Obama using a taxpayer-funded emergency account intended for ...well, for a disaster in the US or some other dire thing ... paying them from that by converting to foreign currency to avoid the prohibitions on dollars in the sanctions and avoid congressional oversight.
DemoRats are experts at laundering taxpayers $$. Heavy on the starch too.
