The Iranian Video Of “Hostages for Pallets of Money” CNN and Washington Post Claim Doesn’t Exist
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | August 5, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 08/05/2016 7:19:24 AM PDT by bobsunshine

(VIDEO from Iran)This is a great example of the current state, and competence, of American Journalism. Worse yet, this example shows the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, didn’t even know what’s going on, and Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine also joins the crew of the clueless.

CNN and The Washington Post are both making an absurd attack Donald Trump story out of the most simple and easy to prove claim.

Donald Trump said there was video (yes, that’s a screen grab of the video above), put out by Iran, showing the United States sending pallets of cash in exchange for U.S. hostages.

Trump stated the Iranian’s were using the video to “embarrass the President“. The Washington Post and CNN jumped on the Trump statement and immediately decried it as ridiculous and set out to prove the claim false.....

The Iranian TV ran it with a title “The Rules of The Game” etc. We saw it on BBC TV during a segment discussing the release of the prisoners.

I see where the MSM is pushing that ‘Donald took it back’ ... he doesn’t take anything back he says, because for one thing he’s always right when he says it...see how the MSM is trying to convince you people how ‘bad Trump’ is???

If you listen to them, your falling in for Hillary....

Donald mis-identified ONE video, and he admitted it- I dont give a ***... but the media cant let it go

They would rather do that than, talk about the REAL video that does exist. Or the former hosage who SAID they had to sit there until the other plane arrived.

Nealry a half a billion in CASH. How to you scrape together that much CASH without someone noticing?

If Trump does not find some way to punch through it they WILL lie the Clintons right back into the White House.

Bill’s third term is absolutely the goal of the media. And their attacks are actually hitting flesh.

Thank you for posting this. It needs to be published far & wide. It is a valuable resource, as it clearly proves the outrageous bias that will always rush to an anti-Trump conclusion, rather than simply try to check out a story.

Just tweeted LouDobbs and Trump about it. On Trump’s tweet site he says he made a mistake with the video. I sent him this article. Hopefully he will read it.

It might not be a bad idea to grab a copy of that video before it mysteriously vanishes.

Trump now says he didn’t see this video, but another video of the released Americans landing in Europe.

But there really is a video showing the cash?

This Iran video is top story on ABC, CNN, HuffPo, and you name it.

Meanwhile, go to Drudge and there’s the damn photo and link to the video.

Crazy.

They focus on Trump when it’s Obama handing over a billion U.S. cash to a terrorist state.
