Obama administration spokesman Josh Earnest snaps at CBS reporter Margaret Brennan, asking: "Why is that relevant?" when questioned about the $400 million cash payment (in Euros and Swiss Francs) to Iran. Earnest faced more than 20 minutes of questions about the suspicious nature of this payment Wednesday after details were reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Why is this relevant? Obama secretly pays almost half a billions in cash to one of the most violent, rogue terror sponsoring nations on earth and he has to ask why someone might find that relevant? Breathtaking.

Trump and Republicans should now be referring to the payment as ransom. Always.

The only thing I want to know that I don’t already know is whether it was part of the billions of frozen dollars he was releasing to them, or was it in addition to that?
And of course you realize that if Hillary is elected, the matter will be kept secret ad infinitum.
To: Sgt_Schultze
If it is not ransom, is Obama embezzling US money and holding it in Iran? The reason for the question IS VERY RELEVANT. Here is why. The US Constitution in Article 1 Section 9 says No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law.
Was this distribution to Iran made in an appropriation by Congress or under some US law that already exists.
Frankly I doubt it. Obama has taken a unilateral action that should get him impeached.

John Earnest keeps up the lying and the coverup tradition of Jay Carney and Robert Gibbs.
