It took a non-politician…
The Conservative Tree House ^ | May 21, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 05/21/2017 9:49:21 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

No back-channel discussions kept hidden from allies out of a concern for their political opinion of impact. No mysterious hidden transactions kept shrouded from the American electorate. No nuanced details tucked away only to be discovered later. No secret transfers of pallets of cash handled through third-parties to avoid fingerprints. No need for the construction of plausible deniability or mysterious parseltongue terminology.

Open and frank discussion of benefits and costs. Openly transparent details of every deal and every participant in the structure therein. Direct, plain-spoken language outlining the value and purpose of the agreement. Every moment and consequential encounter conducted in the disinfecting sunlight of transparent publicity. No need for phrases carefully conducted for domestic consumption. Every member of the team tasked with explaining the purpose and intention. While deliberate, we know what we get and we know why we are getting it.

I will never understand, how the Obama administration never faced any legal issues, and the media was not curious at all, about a planeload of cash going to Iran.

For sake of argument, let’s say that it was somehow legitimate that we paid over a billion dollars to Iran as part of that deal. If our country owes another country money as part of some transaction, don’t we normally wire transfer such funds ??

How the heck was it legal to send a planeload full of cash to Iran??? Who the heck authorized this??? What was the justification for sending cash to Iran, rather than wiring the funds through normal banking channels???

And how do we know that all of the cash ended up in the treasury of Iran, as opposed to seeing any untraceable cash being skimmed off by dudes at the airport driving trucks and forklifts to unload the plane???

I also saw reports that those pallets were in many different currencies.

Because they're all on the same team?

That our own media for the most vastly part did not report the transfer of money to Iran at all, screams volumes about its lack of objectivity.

I don't have the answers to those questions, which I also have and many more of the 8 traitors years of bami...

One thing I hope in the next 8 years of President Trump:

Prison all the Clintons;
Prison obami;
Prison those that are tied into the pedophilia cases we are seeing;
Prison anyone who is not for the Greatness of this Country and it's people...which would include the House and Senate...

We are onto Greatness right now with all the jobs opening up, the deficit going down, and the wall is being built and the illegal aliens are being rounded up...

President of Egypt: "Let me say you have a UNIQUE PERSONALITY that is capable of doing the impossible."

Trump: "I agree."

(Aides laugh.)

All excellent questions...ones the Democrat/Progressive/Social Justice Party, feel they don’t have to answer to anyone. Obama was/is just as crooked as his then Secretary of State, John Kerry picked up that baton and continued the ruse....continuing today under the banner of OFA, Obama’s shadowy army of the Far Left/Socialists...one step from Communism. Non-Constitutionals who want to rule....

"Prison all the Clintons etc etc"

HL27,

I heard Dan Bonjino opining last night and he noted something I got intuitively and have been saying for eons, it may or may not have to do with if you name ends in a vowel or not :-). What he noted was PDJT has dealt with a cast of characters in building that we never have to interface with, strong arm Union types, building inspectors and their agendas ( don't even get me started on that one ) and frankly the Mob.

So with all these interactions, he probably has elephant skin and the ability to deal with some bad hombres and still get it done. So all these Politicians that may be in a legal rough spot? I'd love to see him just politely tell them look, this is what we know about you, perhaps retiring and taking up a good hobby and dropping out of and opining about anything political is not in your best interest from a legal standpoint, so retire and enjoy your kids and grand kids.

That would work for me...

“Laws are for everyone”...that includes you and I, the Clintons, the Obamas and anyone else that wants to live in the Freedom of Our Great Nation...

If that can’t be achieved, then people don’t deserve to be on our soil...

Maybe because Comey was on the team doing the investigating?

Read a great deep background on Comey here and how Trump went around him.

and just for everyone's info I have nothing to do with this site. I got it from Greg Hunter @ USAWatchdog.com
