you gotta wonder how long did it take to accumulate and bundle up 400 million in cash?

it’s not like walking into the lobby, cashing a check, and walking out with cash in your billfold.

getting the plane, taking off the tail numbers, rounding up the cash, stacking it up, loading it.

what?

2-3 days.

lotta thought & planning went into the logistics of this scam.

the drug cartels don’t have to go to these lengths to launder money.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) was on Fox today and said that the reason Iran wanted the ransom in cash was that it makes it easy to hand over the cash to support Hezbollah and their terrorism against Israel

Republicans blast $400m Iran ‘ransom,’ say it encourages kidnappings

White House denies funds paid to Islamic Republic were to secure release of detained US citizens; say it was interest for 30-year-old failed arms deal By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil August 3, 2016, 10:49 pm 1

The US is forbidden from engaging in dollar transactions with Iran, and so the funds were reportedly transferred into foreign currency, packed in crates, and transferred to Iran via Europe.

Prominent Republicans in the House and Senate alike argued Wednesday that the transfer of funds would undermine US security, particularly by encouraging Iran to detain more Americans, in the hopes of securing additional cash.

“It is nothing but a series of bribes and secret agreements that will do nothing to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear capability, yet will provide funding for their sponsorship of terrorism and encourage them to detain more of our citizens. This ‘deal’ should be ripped to shreds immediately before more damage is done.”

And one trillion in crisp 100 dollar bills is a stack 632 miles high. It blows the mind to think that Obama had taken our national debt from 9 to 18 trillion in his occupancy of our White House. And that doesn’t include unfunded mandates.

Here is something to contemplate. Obama and Hillary said they could not protect the Benghazi from attack because the Republican House cut back funding....

But they can send a cargo plane load of cash with no problem.

Excellent point- though Josh Earnest made a point of telling the journos that this deal saved millions for the US tax payers. That is because the Iranians, expert carpet dealers as they are, had upped the ante by demanding huge reparations for not getting "their" money back in time.

Of course most sentinent people understand that unless the US wanted to they did not have to pay back anything.

Their lies are worn very thin now.
