The State Department on Monday would not rule out giving Iran up to $50 billion as a so-called "signing bonus" for agreeing to a nuclear deal later this year, according to comments made to journalists following reports that the Obama administration had formulated a plan to release tens of billions of frozen Iranian funds.
Experts have said this multi-billion dollar "signing bonus" option, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, could be the largest cash infusion to a terror-backing regime in recent memory.
A cash release of $30 to $50 billion upon reaching a final nuclear agreement would come in addition to the more than $11 billion in unfrozen assets that Iran will already have received under an interim nuclear accord reached in 2013.
When asked to address these reports on Monday, State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf attempted to dodge the issue and then accused reporters of getting "spun up" on the issue.

These people are insane...
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Congress holds the purse strings, do they not? Or will they take another ‘pass’ on doing their job?

Usually sits on the front left, when looking at the pool of reporters.
Sarcastic, passage-agressive bitch!
Did Congress approve of this reckless spending of the people’s tax dollars?
Maybe she meant “getting all wee-weed up”.

The key phrase is in the first line: "tens of billions of frozen Iranian funds"
This guy, Matt Lee, seems to be about the only serious journalist on the State Department beat.
Well for around ten billion you can buy Greece.
This goes way beyond simple madness and into the realm of suicidal lunacy. At what point of crazy do these things call for immediate impeachment?
Fox News links to Washington Free Beacon which links to WSJ, but nobody wants to post the WSJ article or even read the WSJ article.
Here'e the key parts of the WSJ article:
"Iran could receive significant economic relief immediately after concluding a deal"
"also freeing up tens of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenue that has been frozen"
"Iran has between $100 billion and $140 billion of its oil revenue frozen in offshore accounts as a result of sanctions"
And finally, neither Obama nor anyone in the administration used this phrase between $30 billion and $50 billion. That came from "congressional officials"
"Iran could receive somewhere $30 billion and $50 billion upon signing the agreement, said congressional officials briefed by the administration."
