""State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton waived the conditions based on U.S. national security interests"

1. State could do so on any basis they choose, or lie about it on Congressional basis with impunity. The POTUS could also pre-empt State...essentially speaking for them.

2. POTUS/State could shoose to NOT say anything at all and just spend the money with impunity. Their letter was a courtesy.
