Unless...of course...you're trying to keep it off the books. Oops.
It was not off the books you lying sack.
- The Treasury IG examined the payments and reported in November 2016 that it had received verbal assurance from the Justice Department "that the settlement comports with the VTVPA." In its semiannual report to Congress in March 2017, the IG said the payment was made "after receiving necessary information and authorizations from the Departments of Justice and State."
It was examined in 2017 during the TrumpO Admin and found to be lawful and legit.
Was Obama's $1.7 billion cash deal with Iran prohibited by U.S. law? | Fact check | Journal Gazette
From TrumpO on down to the lowest TrumpO loser numbnutz you all keep telling that lie. Sad very sad.
And it had to be done as a settlement because the Hague Court could have increased what the US owed Iran.
- Obama administration officials had claimed that without a deal with Iran, the Hague tribunal might have imposed an even higher interest penalty on the United States. Bellinger agreed that that was a concern. "There was a significant risk, based on its judgments in recent years, the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal would have issued a decision awarding a larger amount to Iran," he said. "If the tribunal had done that, and the U.S. government was then unwilling or unable to pay the award, the U.S. would have violated its obligations under the Algiers Accords." He said "it was prudent to settle the claims, even if it required the U.S. to take the highly unpalatable action of making a payment to Iran." Same link
At least Iran pays its debt - you right wing morons think the US should not. Look at this fact never mentioned by Rush or Sean.
- The State Department has noted that under the Hague process, Iran has paid out more than $2.5 billion in awards to U.S. nationals and companies. Same link.
Right wing talk show hosts have rotted your morals.
