And he'd better not send pallets of cash to Iran without Congressional approval by God!!!
That was Iran's money, ordered by a Court for us to pay. I don't blame Iran for wanting it up front before they signed the Deal.
Will you assholes ever stop with this bullshit?
Who cares whos money it was?
They sponsor terrorism. I bet that money went towards mercenaries or missile technology.
If i stole something from al queada would you want me to give it back?
If someone paid you for something you never delivered, yes, I would expect you to give the money back. And I'm sure you would.
The $1.8 billion
The Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress, reviewed this cash transfer in a 2018 report. It gave a total of $1.7 billion.
That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered.
As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance.
The United States sent the money to Iran in euros, Swiss francs and other currencies
Sending the money to Iran was Obama's choice.
They were seized by EO and Obama released them by EO.
Obama was not legally bound to return it.....it was his choice.
So essentially Obama sent aide to our enemies which is classified as treason.
I would have used the money to build the wall and dare Iran to come and get it.
