This is a total guess, but as to your question of ‘Where did it go?’;

The military is holding stuff together with bailing wire. I would bet a pretty good cut of beef that the money came from DOD, and it was probably facilitate by State.

I have zero to substantiate this, but its the easiest place to hide transfers of cash.

on the inauguration day... Trump should have papers of detention and arrest warrants from each of the fifty states, for Obama and every conceivable collaborator... and trump should announce it as he gives the inaugural speech.

NO FLY list for obama. Anywhere, anyplace, and anytime... same for hillary and 538 members of congress and senate, and the federal benches nationwide. As soon as the culprits are identified, they need to be held indefinitely, incommunicado... while charges are drawn up the suspected collaborators... even IF OBAMA pardons every member of government including himself, during the last five minutes of his “reign” over us.

Release from a national state of arrest should be contingent upon an extreme vetting type of review to determine if any pardons at all for the collaborators, are actually lawful under the “penumbra” of constitutional equal justice... and there should be no legal representation for the primary collaborators... who will be housed for the following eight years, even without conviction... in Guantanimo. GITMO.

The whole process should be hush hush, right up until the last words of Trump’s oath of office are completed and legally witnessed... then trump should pull the paper out of his pocket... and hand out copies to every military and law enforcement official in attendance, including all that are at the inauguration and every state, city, local and federal government office location in the USA or it’s territories.

no due process for traitors.
tribunals.
period. inauguration evening... after the ceremony.
Call it a duly elected coupe d’etat.

12 billion seems to be the number for the frozen assets in 1979.

How the heck did it get to the 33 billion number?

if true, millions of dollars would have gone right back into the overseas accounts of relatives of liberal politicians...

and overseas accounts of relatives of liberal generals...

has obama bought the 2016 presidential election with this money laundering?

does the MSM even dare ask?

who is funding the Hillary PACs and all the Hillary TV ads anyways, with Hillary’s live speech audiences thinned to a trickle?

Arguably, Hillary has money to burn, since she is running incessant anti-trump ads in California of all places. Where did all this money come from if her speech attendance is effectively down to zero?

You got one too many 'i's and an extraneous 'e' there - and it's not usually capitalized.

That's about a 3% interest rate, compounded annually, for that time period.

Passbook savings rate.

Peace can’t be bought. And who is going to find out where this money came from? We still don’t know where the 400 million came from or the 1.7 billion. Now the 33.6 billion? What next? How much else don’t we know about?

But WHO paid all of that interest, making it 33 Billion?

Where was the money parked, so it could accrue that interest?

The assets were frozen by Jimmah Carter, because of the Iranian hostage/Khomeini regime takeover.

Why would the US release this money back to Iran, NOW?

What have the Iranians done in good faith to show that they are any different than they were in 1979?

If anything they are WORSE.

Both for the Middle East and the US.

Obama is just helping his terrorist friends.

He knows Iran can’t make war against Israel with sticks and stones.

So what if he has to steal another $33 billion from taxpayers?

Remember - he already made the $900 billion in stimulus money disappear without a trace.

Any government strong enough to do all that, well, I don’t think we would enjoy the aftermath for long.

I wonder whether this was malice, corruption, or both:

Did Obama get a personal kickback to $33M for giving away our tax dollars, did he get the joy of knowing Iran would use the money to kill Jews, or is the anti-Semite in our White House getting what he sees as a double win with both money and blood?
