One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system. A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.
Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.
The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system."
Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.
It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.
That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.
It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.

The most EVIL administration in the history of the republic...Obama, Obama, Biden, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Jarret, Lynch, Lerner, Rice, Holder, et al.
It takes some criminals to raze a republic.
Obama gave aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.

I seem to also remember pallets of bundled currency being delivered to Iran.
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
He was born a British subject and Kenyan national and later added Indonesian citizenship.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because ehtye cannot be anything else, they have ONE nationality.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT a natural born citizen.
He was never eligible to be President.
They ALL knew.
The GOP had a stable full of ineligibles they wanted to run.
Rubio, Cruz, Jindal, Haley and most importantly George P. Bush.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
Obama isn’t one.
BOTH parties abrogated the Constitution.
Agree.....pallets of cash were sent to Iran and, iirc, Congress did not have prior notice of this. hmmm, could this have been bribery to get Iran to sign off on an agreement??
And, what exactly did Pres Obama mean when her told Medvedev he could be more flexible after the election?
Quid quo pro ?
I'd much rather see the miserable traitor faggot bastard hanged.
But then I'm kinda old and cranky.

“Is it too late to Impeach Obama?”
A 2001 Slate article by Michael Gerhardt of the William and Mary School of Law, Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law School, and Don Ritchie of the Senate Historical Office suggests that an ex-President can indeed be impeached:
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2001/02/can-congress-impeach-bill-clinton-again.html
“Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has suggested that Bill Clinton, though now out of office, could be impeached for his pardon of fugitive Marc Rich (although probably not for grabbing a couple of coffee tables). Can a former president be impeached?
Apparently, yes. Obviously a former president would not be subject to removal from office, but scholars say that Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution, which says that impeachment may result in disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States, could apply. In practical terms, an impeachment would mean Clinton could not serve in any other federal elective or appointive office. Clinton would not have automatic protection against such a proceeding because he was exercising his constitutionally given pardon power. Scholars say abuse of such power can be grounds for congressional action. It is less clear whether a conviction could mean the removal of his pension, government-funded office, and other perks.
Although impeaching a former president would be a first, there is some scant precedent for impeaching someone already removed from office. In 1797, Sen. William Blount of Tennessee was charged with treason for a scheme to help the British take land from Florida controlled by the Spanish. (Fortunately, Florida land speculation is no longer considered a treasonable offense.) Blount was unanimously impeached by the House, then expelled by the Senate (a process separate from impeachment). The Senate decided to go ahead with its impeachment trial although in the end it acquitted Blount because he was no longer in office. William Belknap, secretary of war under Ulysses Grant, was impeached by the House on bribery charges and resigned from office. Though the Senate went ahead with his trial, he, too, was acquitted because he was no longer in office.
None dare call it....
