Obama Secretly Tried to Get Banks to Aid Iran, Banks Refused
Front Page ^ | June 6, 2018 | Daniel Greenfield

International financial institutions get a lot of heat for terror state ties. But this is a case where Obama Inc. tried to get them to do the wrong thing. While they did the right thing.

The Obama administration secretly sought to give Iran access — albeit briefly — to the U.S. financial system by sidestepping sanctions kept in place after the 2015 nuclear deal, despite repeatedly telling Congress and the public it had no plans to do so.

Yet another Obama dirty deal with Iran that we're just learning about now. The question is how many more are there? And that's part of why Spygate is happening. The assault is also a cover-up.

The Obama administration pressured banks to illegally launder money to help Iran finance its nuclear program and terrorist support.

And they lied to Congress about it.

"when questioned by lawmakers about the possibility of granting Iran any kind of access to the U.S. financial system, Obama-era officials never volunteered that the specific license for Bank Muscat in Oman had been issued two months earlier."

How in the hell did Valerie Jarret get a security clearance and get into the white house before anyone knew who she was?

Between Carter and Obama, who needs enemies?

These two men did more to destabilize our nation and the world than other nations seeking to harm our interests.

Maybe the US banks refused, but some outfit/s laundered those rials.

Which bank or banks was it.

And folks really need to read the Senate report. It’s infuruating.

They didn’t just pressure our banks. Per the Senate report, admin apparatchiks went on a multi-country “roadshow” to find institutions willing to launder the rials.

The money was laundered. Some institution/s did it.

And how in HADES did Congress not know about the admin’s roadshow to recruit money launderers?! That claim beggars belief.

And another question: Did either or both of the US banks report to Congress and/or the FBI that the Obama admin tried to recruit the banks to do a spot of money laundering for Iran?

Reason I ask is I’m wondering if any of those banking suicides might have another explanation.

......and maybe they need to report the desperate crooked Obama had a "reward program" set up for those banks that did his bidding.
