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.

obama can’t be impeached. He’s black.
What was Obama’s cut?
Meanwhile....waiting for anyone in “leadership” of GOPe to comment on this or threaten to investigate....
Dane geld.....................
That would be something to see, if he gets the full Mussolini. There are many people out there that would want to do that.
Of course that is not nice and I would not wish that on the President of the USA.
Paying 400 million dollars to terrorists and a terrorist state as ransom payment for four hostages?
How could that be relevant?/sarc
Perhaps because American has a policy that it does not bargain with terrorists
“August 15, 2007 — Illinois Senator Says He’ll “Take the Blinders” Off the White House
CEDAR FALLS, IA — U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today said that as President, he will enact sweeping reforms to dramatically increase transparency and accountability in government to make it responsive and accountable to the American people. The Illinois Senator outlined his plan in remarks that highlighted his record of fighting for ethics and lobbying reforms that were unpopular with political insiders while in the U.S. Senate and the Illinois state Senate.
“More and more, the real business of our democracy isn’t done in town halls or public meetings or even in the open halls of Congress,” Obama said. “Decisions are made in closed-door meetings, or with the silent stroke of the President’s pen, or because some lobbyist got some Congressman to slip his pet project into a bill during the dead of night. We have to take the blinders off the White House. The more people know about what’s going on in Washington, and how their tax dollars are being spent, and who’s raising money for who, the less likely it is that major decisions will be hijacked by lobbyists and special interests.”
Obama said that as President, he will post all bills brought to his desk online for five days before they are signed. He also said that all meetings between lobbyists and government agencies will be posted online, a marked contrast to Vice President Cheney’s efforts to hide the activities of his secret energy taskforce.
Obama also discussed a law he co-authored in the U.S. Senate that requires all government spending to be posted online, and his efforts in Illinois State Senate to create hospital report cards so that every consumer could better understand the quality of care they could expect at each hospital.
“I know it’s easy to be cynical about politics in this country,” Obama said. “I understand that cynicism. But I’ve always said that when the American people are paying attention — when they’re involved and engaged and informed about what’s going on in their government — then good things happen. I’ve spent my life trying to open up the political process to people, and I believe we can do it again. And when we do that, we will have a government that listens to their voices and finally responds to their best hopes once more.”
Whatever!!!!
And eff you too, Congress. You damnable slugs.
Josh Earnest on behalf of Obama is doing his utmost to enrage the people. He is giving away our money for no purpose approved by Congress. Remove Obama for this crime and for deliberately and contemptuously defying Congress and the people.
at this point in America, the whole of the elected in DC can and should be charged for treason. That leaves that task up to the people so good luck with that.
It’s not ransom because the US doesn’t pay ransom. What great logic.
Because this pres__ent has single-handedly doubled the National Debt in 7 1/2 years more than the previous 45 Preidents , combined (!)
and spent more money on fluff and vacations than any other res__ent of the White House
and has yet to tell the truth about Iraq, money laundering, Clintoon, violated current laws with disrepute, armed Mexican cartels, armed Al Quaeda,
spoken out against law enforcement while supporting racist organizations
dishonored his oath of office to protect the people, protect the borders, arbitrarily ignored laws of the land, and supported rebellion in Egypt, Libyia, and elsewhere.
What's not to question about this pres__ency ?
And we as taxpayers don’t have the right to question this, even if this was announced January 17, we still have the right to question anything this government does!!!
Let me guess that CBS’ scrutiny of something like this would only be a fraction compared to how they dealt with some rumour or intrigue concerning John Dean or the “plumbers” or anyone else in the Nixon Administration circa 1973.
Jizya.......................
It's the "No True Scotsman" theory.
“After all this time, what difference does it make.”
“But why is that relevant? Why is that relevant?”
Every day comes a new outrage to top the previous day’s outrage. Is that the fourth box I hear opening?
Obama secretly pays almost half a billions in cash...
What difference does it make?
