The logistics of this payment literally delivering a plane full of cash to evade U.S. law shows yet again the extraordinary lengths the Obama administration will go to accommodate Iran, all while hiding the facts from Congress and the American people, he said.
The Republican Congress has become completely impotent...They are useless to the American people...We need some men in Congress...Or at least people who act like real men...
Right after he's done sticking another box of pins in his Trump voodoo doll.
The opportunities than you accurately enumerated in post #32:
1) Finance Iran's nuke capabilities with which to threaten Israel
2) Undermines America's credibility and prestige
3) Enriches the Bank accounts of several (unnamed) co-treasonous, political whores who STOLE that money FROM the American Taxpayer and split the "profits" with our enemy.
4) SUPPORTS AND FINANCES THE WORLD JIHAD AGAINST AMERICA, THE WEST, ISRAEL.
Another Nuremberg-type trial is needed. But this time around we'd need a far larger sitting area to accommodate all the defendants. Like maybe Yankee Stadium.
“Only a complete and utter moron pays money to his enemy.”
The Fraud in the white mosque is paying money to OUR enemy, HIS BFF’s.
Yes sir.
The GAO staff has those docs on file...somewhere.
If they were paying a legitimate debt - why in CASH - and mostly FOREIGN CASH?
If legitimate, it would have gone thru’ Congress.
and how much was kickback into their pockets?
Heh...SRO.
Coincidentally...like Nuremberg.
Here are all the Dem, GOPe, and MSM co-conspirators and defendants awaiting their trial:
+400m
And is going to get much worse.
We have three branches of government to impeach, I believe.
“A government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
IF it's his enemy...

Patriots, do not be misled by the corrupt Washington cartel demonizing Obama. I wouldnt be surprised if we are seeing taxpayer dollars from Congress's unconstitutional, unaccountable Stimulus Package at work in Iran.
More specifically, noting that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate now helps the likewise corrupt House to pass unconstitutional and unpopular appropriations bills, the Founding States having drafted the Constitutions Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I (1.7.1 ) to give most responsibility for federal taxing and spending to the House of Representatives, not the Oval Office.
But were now seeing hypocritical Congress pointing the finger of irresponsible federal spending at last-term Obama.
If Obama gave $400 million out of taxpayers wallets to Iran, its because both corrupt Houses of Congress let him get away with doing so. In fact, note that Clause 7 of Section 9 of Alticle I complements 1.7.1 by requiring that no money comes out of the treasury without legislative action by Congress.
Article I, Section 9 Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law [emphasis added]; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
(Patriots need to reconsider the 22nd Amendment. That amendment is helping to foster major corruption from last-term presidents with respect to corrupt legislative and executive branches imo. One possibility is to amend the Constitution so that state legislatures, not the Senate, approve justices nominated by the president.)
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support the Trump / Pence ticket by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trumps vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional and unpopular federal taxing and spending.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) was on Fox today and said that the reason Iran wanted the ransom in cash was that it makes it easy to hand over the cash to support Hezbollah and their terrorism against Israel

Republicans blast $400m Iran ransom, say it encourages kidnappings
White House denies funds paid to Islamic Republic were to secure release of detained US citizens; say it was interest for 30-year-old failed arms deal By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil August 3, 2016, 10:49 pm 1
The US is forbidden from engaging in dollar transactions with Iran, and so the funds were reportedly transferred into foreign currency, packed in crates, and transferred to Iran via Europe.
Prominent Republicans in the House and Senate alike argued Wednesday that the transfer of funds would undermine US security, particularly by encouraging Iran to detain more Americans, in the hopes of securing additional cash.

It is nothing but a series of bribes and secret agreements that will do nothing to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear capability, yet will provide funding for their sponsorship of terrorism and encourage them to detain more of our citizens. This deal should be ripped to shreds immediately before more damage is done.

King FUBO once again shows whose side he is on.
“Where is the authorization for this $400 million cash payment? I thought congress had to appropriate expenditures.
If there is no “controlling legal authority” why didn’t he send them a billion dollars?”
