| Congress Suspects Obama Admin Delivered Billions in Cash to Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps |
| 2016-09-13 |
| [Free Beacon] New admissions by the Obama administration that American officials physically handed some $1.7 billion in cash to the Iranian government are fueling a congressional investigation into still-hidden details surrounding the deal, according to congressional sources and previously unreported-on letters seen by the Washington Free Beacon. Lawmakers now suspect the Obama administration may have dealt with members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and officials from its intelligence ministry when carrying out the cash exchange, which coincided with the release by Iran of several U.S. hostages. The Obama administration recently disclosed to Congress that U.S. officials participated in the handoff of at least $400 million to Iranian officials, but has withheld key details about which parts of the Iranian government assumed control of the cash, according to discussions with multiple sources familiar with ongoing congressional investigation. Multiple sources familiar with the matter told the Free Beacon it is possible IRGC members participated in the exchange, raising new questions about the Obama administration’s dealings with an organization directly responsible for facilitating terrorism and killing U.S. citizens. "On January 17, Treasury disbursed the payment to an official from the Central Bank of Iran, for transfer to Tehran," according to a letter from the Treasury Department to Congress. "The funds were under U.S. Government control until their disbursement pursuant to the settlement." |

| #2 Sounds good Crusader. Call them and tell them what you want done. Sunday I left messages for two Republican Senators and two Republican House members demanding an investigation of our Commander in Chief for being on the golf course and refusing calls for two days when Special Forces needed his approval for a hostage rescue. A lost opportunity to save two American lives. CALL THEM... |

| #1 Worthless, and gutless. The current Republicans have no balls. They should be challenged at every turn as to "When are you going to do *anything* about it?". |
