SEPT 2016-— officials from the State, Justice and Treasury departments said Obama’s $1.3 billion to Iran was paid in cash on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5. The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it’s needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.
Republicans have decried the payments as ransom, a charge that Obama administration has rejected.....a group of Republican senators announced their support for legislation that would bar payments from the Judgment Fund to Iran until Tehran pays the nearly $55.6 billion that U.S. courts have judged that it owes to American victims of Iranian terrorism.
UPDATE H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Irans Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose “everyone who allegedly accepted bribes” to facilitate Obama’s nuke deal with Iran. “... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen, Mr. Zarif reportedly said.
Aha....the plot thickens. This also explains why Obama blithely handed over billions of tax dollars to Iran. Looks like Obama and his crowd got filthy rich on this deal.
In case you wondered how the Halfrican intended to pay for his billion dollar final resting place dedicated to the Sun God .Obamas “presidential center.” NOTE: Obama said no federal funds will be used......just tax dollars with an Iranian postmark.
