While ABC, CBS and NBC on Monday and Tuesday found time to celebrate the return of “easy-going,” rested Barack Obama to the public scene, none of them covered the release of a blockbuster expose that exposes the buried secrets of the ex-President’s Iran deal giveaway.

Politico senior investigative reporter Josh Meyer authored a more than 7300 word bombshell showing that Obama secretly released 21 Iranian prisoners (not the seven originally claimed), men who were deeply involved in Iran’s missile and nuclear program. On Tuesday morning, despite a combined eight hours of air time, ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today avoided the topic.

It was left to Fox News to cover the story. Meyer appeared on Happening Now and explained the real story behind the prisoner swap that propelled the nuclear deal:






quote:

The three evening shows on Monday ignored this blockbuster expose. Instead, journalists gushed about Obama’s return. CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley hailed, “Today, the man who never lost a presidential election made his first major appearance since leaving office.”

On Tuesday, CBS This Morning’s Dean Reynolds lauded, “Mr. Obama re-emerged yesterday with an easy-going manner that only a former president can appreciate.”

i think this has as much to do with timing (dropping this story to interrupt the major headlines they had pre-prepared about Obama) as politics

I thought this had to do with the old movie rental business coming back from the dead.

This is the most amazing part of the story:

quote:

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.


quote:

The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.


Obama just sent the Iranians pallet loads of cash. Not money transfers that might be tracked. But airplanes filled with cash that could be spent on anything; to a country whose government is known to support Terrorism and publicly cries for "Death to America".

Worst president ever.

That's a lot of money that could have been used to building walls.

I give Politico a lot of credit, they take their shots at everybody and they cornholed Obama on this one. With the level of detail they reported and the quotes they had this is was a Deliverance level political molestation.

Along with the "why Hillary messed the bed" book this has been a heck of a year for putting the boots in to politicians.

If they're making this much of a hubbub over his coming back from vacation, just wait til he gets indicted and we get the "call me barb" special edition vanity fair issue
