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.

He gave them Billion$, no strings attached
Yeah it was obvious for NK and now it’s obvious for Iran.
Except Kim is a hedonist. Doesn’t want to die.
The clerics? I dunno
The mullahs usually want to send others to their deaths, all while praising “allah” and jihad.
They just might be stupid enough to launch at Israel. I’m guessing they will.
There’s still some distance between being able to detonate and get one small enough that can work on a missile, of course.
Pakistan achieved it long ago.
North Korea is probably already there.
I doubt Iran is too far behind.
Supposedly, these were the works of A.Q. Khan of Pakistan. He made Pakistan’s work.
The JCPOA was just a smokescreen. The only ones that’s don’t know that are the liberals and the Euroweenies. Which includes the United Nations and most actors in Hollywood.
Doesn’t giving “aid & comfort to our enemies” constitute treason? Isn’t treason a punishable offense? Shouldn’t be hard to show that Obama did it. What’s the hold up?
Obama. That picture says it all. Frightening.
[Obama. That picture says it all. Frightening.]
Let Barack mess with the apple of God’s eye. The apple of the eye of the God of Israel.
Be sure to have freshly-popped popcorn ready.
All of Obama’s backroom deals, secret dealings, connections, money, political power, etc. don’t mean jack squat.
He Who sits in the heavens laughs.
Barack may have the liberals fooled. The God of Israel is another story.
