Kerry deflects question about why he released money to Iran, accused Trump of 'lies'
Foxnews ^

“I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists,” Kerry told CNBC in 2016. When asked by Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” why he believed this was a worthwhile risk when releasing the money, Kerry attacked the president rather than answer the question.

“You know that the president's tweet is a lie,” Kerry told host Margaret Brennan. “And the president tweeted this morning, because I am coming on the show and he knew you'd ask me the question or he'd push you in a place where you did ask the question. You and the media, I think, need to call a lie a lie.”

Brennan immediately reminded him that she asked the same question in 2015.

So John Kerry is responsible for the shootdown of that Ukrainian plane.

The past participle for “hang” as form of execution is “hanged.” Shirts should be hung in the closet. John Kerry should be hanged by the neck.

” He [Kerry] then said that, contrary to what President Trump claims ”his own defense intelligence agency in 2017 testified to the Congress that very, very little money actually went to the IRGC at all.”

A real journalist might have provided some data to Kerry.

The government of Iran spends $251 billion per year. Of that $7.8 billion is spent on education.

The Obama administration gave the government of Iran $1.7 billion. Let’s say Iran increased its spending to support terrorism that year by $1.7 billion. Iran can claim the money received from the USA went to education not terrorism. Tax money was used to fund terrorism, not the US money.

It is the same game played by Planned Parenthood to say it is not using the $500 million given to annually by the US government to fund abortion. Planned Parenthood says other contributions and fees for services are used to fund abortion, not the federal government subsidy. It is a meaningless shell game.

No doubt Iran wanted a pallet of cash so they could immediately distribute it to their terrorist proxies around the world, as cash is not tracable.

Dear President Trump,
We all know that you’re a brawler.
Please call this traitor out on this publicly.
Expose them all.
They’ll never stop until you do.

Then, indict them, arrest them and send them running scared.
America will be even greater if you remove these crooks.

No mystery why they wanted cash and it was no mystery to treasonous bastards who arranged it including the chief POS, Obongo.

I'm certain they do. They also pay for the American environmental movement, to keep our domestic petroleum production hobbled.

No. That’s what he said when he showed up wearing them when running for President and someone asked “didn’t you throw them at the White House back in the day” so he lied about those ones being someone else’s. Or maybe there were and he lied when he threw them. Either way, he’s a liar and grandstander.

Kerry continued, saying that what he meant was that “clearly some money from the budget of Iran is going to go to the IRGC.” He then said that, contrary to what President Trump claims ”his own defense intelligence agency in 2017 testified to the Congress that very, very little money actually went to the IRGC at all.”

Another deflection and lie.

These deep state operatives are not part of PDJT's "own defense intelligence agency".

These lying sacks of shiite are holdovers from Obama, hand picked to spread misinformation about anything Trump.
