Iran: U.S. Surrendered More Than $10 Billion in Gold, Cash, Assets
freebeacon.com ^ | 1/9/17 | Adam Kredo

The Obama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic.

Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House.

The latest disclosure by Iran, which comports with previous claims about the Obama administration obfuscating details about its cash transfers to Iran—including a $1.7 billion cash payment included in a ransom to free Americans—sheds further light on the White House’s back room dealings to bolster Iran’s economy and preserve the Iran nuclear agreement.

Bammy sure loves his Mullahs. But they don’t respect him back.

“In addition to the cash funds which we received, we [also] received our deliveries in gold, bullion, and other things.”

Other Things?? Nukes?

When is it called TREASON?

This is a misleading article. The money “paid” to Iran was Iran’s money that had been confiscated/stolen.

What authorization did Bammy have to send this tax-payer money to the terrorists in Iran? Treason indeed and a Congress that sits on it’s collective a$$. Or was there a back room secret deal made with McCain and Linda?

We pay them $10 billion, and yesterday they attack our ships..?

That actually makes sense:

Pay the bully your lunch money and he does come back, the next day.

But then at Punahou there’s very little of that, right?

He has NOTHING in common with us.

Congress is supposed to control the budget.

Didn’t McCain, Graham, McConnell and Ryan know about the $10 billion?

Not a credible source (Iran), but the Congress should have reported/authorized the disbursement. If not, then someone needs to go to jail. For a helluva long time.

Is anyone aware of a congressional disclosure on this?

No, it’s not.

The Iranian government that gave it to us was killed and looted by the current government. We’d gladly give it back to the rightful government of Iran.

If you borrow a lawnmower from your weight and he’s subsequently shot during a home invasion, you’ve no duty to turn the lawnmower over to the thieves.

Funny how McCain and Graham aren’t outraged by this. Our true enemy Iran is A-OK. But our fake enemy Russia needs to be “PUNISHED.”

No, I’m right. These are the “frozen” assets that were seized as part of the sanctions process.

It’s a given that Americans will die as a result of this much money being given. Likely, or more likely, Israelis. W. Europe too.

If Putin is such a buddy with Trump, have him reign in Iran.

Or make clear that ANY connection to ANY country found after a terror attack will mean war.
