On January 17, 2016, a cargo plane with $400 million in foreign currencies was secretly sent to Iran.
This was the same day the Iranian regime released four American hostages held in Tehran.
They waited on the tarmac for hours.
“ Saeed Abidini: I just remember the night at the airport sitting for hours and hours there and I asked police— why you not letting us go — And he told me we are waiting for another plane and if that plane take off we gonna let you go.
Trish Regan: You slept there at the airport?
Abidini: Yes, for a night. They told us you going to be there for 20 minutes but it took hours and hours. And I ask them why you don’t let us go, because the — was there, pilot was there, everyone was there to leave the country. And he said we are waiting for another plane so if that plane doesn’t come we never let us go.

And his excuse, today, is that they didn’t have a bank account set up.
So, how does the EU and France answer to this?
They had no answer.
Oh, BTW, when I lived in the UK, one of the propaganda talking points about switching to the Euro? Would curb illegal transfers of money and counterfeiting. I kid you not.
No one cares.
We have a corrupt government and a corrupt media - and the voters are just fine with it.
It is illegal for the US government to pay ransom. Period. Even the crooked justice dept. warned them not to do this.
As a congressman he's probably complicit in Barry's treason.
They wouldn’t accept Obama Social security card at the bank. They said it was “invalid”.
This makes me laugh. Obama caught red-handed. Lie withdraw and you get sand fleas.
Obvious cash transfer to terrorists.
Legitimate intergovernment payments are made by electronic transfers, and are settled through the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland – a global central bank whose customers are nations' central banks.
A real free press would investigate this abomination. A real opposition party would impeach all public officials involved, & prosecute all other perps who enabled it.
You guys are not paying attention.
President Obama tricked the stupid Iranians into thinking that we paid a bribe and got them to release the hostages.
They got $400 million but it never was a bribe only a trick./s

You’d have to be a Democrat or a special kind of stupid to believe His Arrogance’s explanation ... I haven’t encountered a single individual in two days that believe his explanation is anything but BS (although several have leaned towards other forms of animal feces).
I don't know how the press sleep at night. I really don't.
As if we needed any proof he’s a GD liar.
It is illegal for the US government to pay ransom. Period.....It is not. It is against policy, but which has more power:Foreign policy that we don’t have or rule of law, which no longer exists? You decide.
Not only is bammy a liar, no new news there, but this shows even his Iranian buddies don’t trust him.
