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.

This is the most amazing part of the story:


I thought the most amazing part (that I read.. didn't finish it) of the story was the years of work by the Justice Department that Obama had no problem sabotaging.


quote:

Three of the fugitives allegedly sought to lease Boeing aircraft for an Iranian airline that authorities say had supported Hezbollah, the U.S.-designated terrorist organization. A fourth, Behrouz Dolatzadeh, was charged with conspiring to buy thousands of U.S.-made assault rifles and illegally import them into Iran.

A fifth, Amin Ravan, was charged with smuggling U.S. military antennas to Hong Kong and Singapore for use in Iran. U.S. authorities also believe he was part of a procurement network providing Iran with high-tech components for an especially deadly type of IED used by Shiite militias to kill hundreds of American troops in Iraq.

The biggest fish, though, was Seyed Abolfazl Shahab Jamili, who had been charged with being part of a conspiracy that from 2005 to 2012 procured thousands of parts with nuclear applications for Iran via China. That included hundreds of U.S.-made sensors for the uranium enrichment centrifuges in Iran whose progress had prompted the nuclear deal talks in the first place.


quote:

And as far back as the fall of 2014, Obama administration officials began slow-walking some significant investigations and prosecutions of Iranian procurement networks operating in the U.S.


quote:

“Clearly, there was an embargo on any Iranian cases,” according to the former federal supervisor.


quote:

This has erased literally years — many years — of hard work, and important cases that can be used to build toward other cases and even bigger players in Iran’s nuclear and conventional weapons programs,” said former Justice Department counterproliferation prosecutor David Locke Hall, adding that the swap demolished the deterrent effect that the arrests and convictions may have had. “Even though these men’s crimes posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, the [Obama] administration has essentially told them their efforts have produced nothing more than political capital that can be traded away when politically expedient.”

It is absolutely astounding! Giving $1.7 billion dollars to an enemy of the United States.

And frick all you democrats that excused this by saying, this money was OWED to Iran because of all the years the poor babies were embargoed. You can go to hell.

I remember this very well.

I also remember Proggies mocking anyone who doubted what this transaction was really about.

I commiserate with your general sentiment.

But with several international banks now operating in Iran, they could've made an electronic transfer disappear within minutes of our payment.

And gave up 21 prisoners (some of EXTREME high value) in exchange for 4 people.

And according to one of the Americans released, as they were sitting on the plane homeward bound, they were told that their plane could not leave till the other plane, with the cash, landed. Pretty much no doubt that the cash was pure ransom monies.
