Yeah, I’m sure Majority Leader McConnell and Speaker Ryan will soon have a press conference for administering a slap on the wrist! They won’t? Who knew?

Involves “unfrozen assets” as part of the (bad) deal. Iran paid us $400 million for a weapons shipment, we never delivered.

And the $400 million is just a small part of Obama’s deal that unfreezes $100 billion with a “B”! My Iran deal would have been “...you are responsible for the IED’s that maimed thousands of GI’s...you are a terrorist government, you get NO assets unfrozen AND no nukes.”

And anyway, it’s not the government’s $400 million to begin with.
It’s OUR $400 million.

The arrogance of these jerks....smh.
