US sent plane with $400 million in cash to Iran
President Barack Obama It’s very rare that I come to an event where I’m like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person.... 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 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. A fifth American man was released by Iran separately. The $400 million payment laundered via untraceable Swiss and Euro currency was sent to an acknowledged state sponsor of international terrorism, by persons unknown, under the objection of the DoJ (due to obvious illegalities), via an unmarked jet in the middle of the night, without the knowledge of Congress. This funding transfer just happened to coincide with a sensitive, ongoing Obama administration nuclear deal and culminates a 37 year old financial transaction involving weapons transfers, and provides the U.S. taxpayer a significant financial savings over previous unspecified financial arrangements. Did I mention the Swiss franks and Euros will go to a state sponsor of international terrorism and primary funding agent of Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO, and Iraqi Shia terrorist groups ? Why would anyone doubt the "there's no there there" response given by Admiral (Ret) John F. Kirby ? [sarc off] Posted by: Fred 2016-08-04 |
