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 dont 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 doesnt come we never let us go.

Ten to one the released hostage that spilled the beans will be forced to walk back his comment. I hope he doesn’t.
I’m going to need better odds than that - how ‘bout 200 to 1?

Can someone explain to me how the president sent $400,000,000 to Iran without a spending authorization from Congress?
Are we living in a banana republic or what?
That's a very good question.
All funds must be appropriated by Congress.
Where's the appropriation bill?
What I think probably occurred is the money was just
ordered to be printed up and the Obama crew just went
went down to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
loaded the pallet of cash onto a truck and drove off.
And another thought just occurred: What if Obama ordered
five hundred million dollars printed and then just
skimmed off one hundred bucks for himself and delivered
other four hundred million to the Iranians? I've said
in the past, don't be surprised if two years from now
Obama is worth two or three hundred million bucks. The
media will never question him on where it came from.
How many more of our troops will be captured and ransomed the next 5 months ?
Well, how many times must this jerk lie before you dicks take him down?
It’s just paper to them and it costs the government pennies to make.
BUT giving that paper away to those who provide no actual goods/services is basically theft from ALL working (or retired) people on Earth.
And this $400M is chump change in the overall picture. The bailouts and Q.E. gave the elites $Trillions in free paper.
Do you think anyone bothered to record the bank note serial numbers, you know so you can identify the person trying to spend this blood money???

Isn’t this money that used to belong to Iran from decades ago?
I don’t know which is more disgusting, the fact that it happened or the fact that nothing will come of it.
