Obama’s Cash Payment to Iran Was More Than a Ransom — It Broke Criminal Law

[Siete]

You do mean Israel broker a deal for the missiles and Iran PAID for the missiles. Getting money from Iran is a lot different than giving them money.

It violated the law, period.

AND AGAIN, THE MONEY GIVEN TO IRAN WAS THEIR OWN MONEY.

Then why'd Barry pay em in foreign currency?

Cuz it would be against the law to use US Dollars.

Obama Launders Iran Ransom Money

the cash sanctions were lifted in January ...

The fact that the money was physically sent to Iran in various currencies rather than simply transferred by wire may seem odd in the context of the United States' increasingly cashless society, but that was done in order to avoid existing Treasury Department sanctions that banned the use of American currency in transactions with Iran, and international sanctions which at that time kept Iran from accessing the global financial markets (and which were lifted in January 2016

So a work around...

a Reagan agreement that was paid in cash after sanctions were lifted.

Can you post a complete and coherent sentence?

‘If the President Does It, That Means It’s Not Illegal’

Did it ever occur to President Obama to ask why he couldn’t just cut a check to the Iranian regime?

More worth examining is why the transaction took the bizarre form that it did. To cut to the chase, I believe it was to camouflage — unsuccessfully — the commission of felony law violations. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the Justice Department strongly objected to the cash payment to Iran. As we shall see, that should come as no surprise. What is surprising is the Journal’s explanation of Justice’s concerns: Department officials, it is said, fretted that the transaction looked like a ransom payment. I don’t buy that. It is not a federal crime to pay a ransom; just to receive one. Our government’s stated disapproval of paying ransoms is a prudent policy, not a legal requirement. The Justice Department’s principal job is to enforce the laws, not to ensure good policy in foreign relations. It seems far more likely that Justice was worried that the transaction was illegal.

That's all I post cupcake. Backed up time and time again with facts, data, research, links, etc. All you do is post single sentence remarks built out of frustration. Speaks volumes.

It is difficult to understand how you view your own posts as "Backed up time and time again with facts, data, research, links, etc" unless of course one believes lying through omission makes one's facts, data, research, links, etc somehow credible.

Iran-Contra & Ronald Reagan.
Next.

How much money did Reagan give to Iran?

He sold them 1,500 missiles, in direct violation of the arms embargo law.

You do mean Israel broker a deal for the missiles and Iran PAID for the missiles. Getting money from Iran is a lot different than giving them money.

It violated the law, period.

The Iranians are against US currency as a reserve currency. They prefer the Euro.

All caught up now?

OP .... debunked !

next.

The only thing "debunked" in this thread is your credibility. But then again - that was debunked a looooooong time ago. Obama got caught and you people still can't bring yourselves to admit it. You must really love the taste of Obama's dick because you won't take it out of your mouth for even 10 seconds.

It's over junior. He got caught. You just sound like an idiot attempting to defend the indefensible. This is literally as stupid as if the Orlando nightclub shooter's parents attempted to claim their son didn't shoot anyone and was just another unarmed victim there.

because youre slow, one more time just for you ..

While the timing could appear to have been a suspiciously coordinated quid pro quo, the evidence points to a paper trail of years of exhaustive hearings and highly sensitive negotiations that were completely separate from the January 2016 prisoner exchange.

Because you're a blind, obedient, little puppet.....one more time just for you:

All of this nonsense just happens to coincide with the release of hostages? And we just happened to fly it out on unmarked planes in the middle of the night instead of doing a simple wire transfer? And you still have yet to explain what in the hell we were doing with $400 million of Iran's money to begin with (nor have you explained why the currency wasn't even Iranian)?

Here is even CNN (not exactly a bastion of conservatism) noting how shady the entire thing is. For staters, the official libtard narrative of "it was Iran's money" doesn't explain what we were doing with it or why the currency isn't even Iranian!!!

Washington (CNN)The Obama administration secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash on the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal, US officials confirmed Wednesday.

President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which he had announced in January as part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies.

US sent plane with $400 million in cash to Iran - CNNPolitics.com

Keep sucking really hard Siete. Not only is Obama laughing at you, but he loves the job you're doing.

The world trades in Euros and dollars. Even Iranians, idiot.

It was Iran's money.

Returning Iran their money was part of the nuclear agreement. If you ******* tards had actually read the agreement you would know that. All caught up now?

Remember when you all whined that the hostages weren't part of the nuclear agreement? And now that we have them back, you STILL whine.

Retards.

[g5000]

The major issue between the two governments was a $400 million payment for military equipment made by the government of the Shah of Iran, prior to the 1979 uprising that topped him. The U.S. banned delivery of the jets and other weapons amid the hostage crisis, but froze the $400 million advance payment. “The Pentagon handled arms purchases from foreign countries,” says Gary Sick, a former National Security Council official who served as the principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. “Defense took care of the details. So the $400 million scheduled purchase was a government-to-government transaction. The U.S. government was holding the money. That’s why it was so difficult to resolve.”
