" By his own account, President Obama engaged in the complex cash transfer in order to end-run sanctions that prohibit the U.S. from having “a banking relationship with Iran.” The point of the sanctions is not to prevent banking with Iran; it is to prevent Iran from getting value from or through our financial system — the banking prohibition is a corollary. And the point of sanctions, if you happen to be the president of the United States sworn to execute the laws faithfully, is to follow them — not pat yourself on the back for keeping them in place while you willfully evade them. The president’s press conference is better understood as a confession than an explanation."
"The first is the law against providing material support to terrorists, Section 2339A of the federal penal code. It says that anyone who provides resources — including “currency or monetary instruments” — to a person or entity with knowledge that they are to be used in the preparation or carrying out of terrorism offenses is guilty of a serious felony. I’ve italicized “knowledge” to underscore that intent is not required; to be guilty, you just need to know."
"The second law involves money laundering, criminalized by Congress in Section 1956 of the penal code. There are several prohibited varieties of money laundering. It can be a crime, for example, to conduct a financial transaction involving money used to facilitate unlawful activity. And if money is transferred outside the United States, it can be illegal to use it to promote criminal activity."

“I think he hates his white half.”
Of course he does-—unless we all missed his “Dreams From my Mother” book.
.
Good one!
Even though he does emulate her “hate America first” ideology.
A question I haven’t heard asked yet is, “if there is no banking relationship with Iran, therefore necessitating a cash payment, then how was the $1.5 billion dollars paid for Iran nuke deal?”

Excellent question.

He hates both, depending on the day.
I made the same point in #28. If we can come up with this, why hasn’t Congress or a reporter brought it up?
Nothing is going to be done about this.
Send in the IRS—it’s obviously a structured transfer just like laundering money for a cartel. RICO investigation called for!
“Nothing is going to be done about this.”
Of course nothing will be done——it’s Obama’s America——and a damned shame.

Black? More like a brown crap, (#2) color to me.
Don’t paraphrase Nixon, that’s weak stuff, I want to see the quote.
Trump can indict after he wins in November.
After the oath of office, before the inaugural address, Obama and at least a dozen others need to be frog-marched off the podium. THAT WILL BRING A NEW TONE TO WASHINGTON.
I wonder how much the kickback to Zero and company will be?
Laws are for little people
BTTT!
Trump has all the tools to win the election.
Hillary will be just a continuence of Obama corruption, in fact, she already is.
That would be so sweet.
On money-laundering alone....there is more than enough evidence to convict whoever designed this and authorized it. My suspicion is that the President merely attended the meeting and waved his hand....there’s someone else, probably down in the CIA, who signed the paperwork and authorized the payment. That’s the guy who would be due for money-laundering charges.
How quaint.
