I guess it's only OK if you send them arms and your name is Reagan.

Obama secretly sends $400M to Iran. Iran releases four American prisoners.

Worst President Evah.


The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.

The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi....

I guess it is OK to trade five top terrorist commanders for one traitor.

It's ok

Papa Obama and Kerry are working with Iranian Moderates

Obama engaged in money laundering to do it!

What difference at this point does it make foreign policy

 

[easyt65]

"Iranian negotiators on prisoner exchange said they wanted cash to show they had gained something tangible..."

'Who's your daddy, Barry?!'

'Iran...'

 

[rdean]

You can't pay someone with their own money. When Iran took American embassy hostages, Carter froze their assets. But legally, the money never belonged to the US. It's been explained before many times. Why can't the GOP "get it"?

 

[easyt65]

Obama and Kerry couldn't / wouldn't negotiate for their release during Barry's 'Iran deal', which obviously they set the terms for...and now they get even more cash while demonstrating America's weakness and willingness to negotiate with terrorists.

And he's trying to claim the ability to deem anyone else 'unfit' to be President?! Kinda hard to pull off while the media is exposing the fact that Iran just made Kerry and Barry their bitch...again.

How can it be a "precedence" if Reagan did it 30 years ago?

 

[easyt65]

Obama released the Taliban 5, the top Taliban leaders, in exchange for NOTHING. He claimed they were part of the Bergdahl release, but that was a lie. The group holding Bergdahl asked for cash and got paid.

Barry, desperate to 'cement his legacy', by-passes Congress ans cuts his own deal with Iran - negotiating from a position of weakness, one that heavily benefits Iran.

Niw Barry rolls over with his legs spread again. What a great negotiator....

Well done, Barry!

The only good thing that came of this is Americans are free. I will give him credit for at least accomplishing that.

If this was such a great thing, though, why did he try so hard to hide it?
