Champ Regime Helping Iran Access Billions in Frozen Funds
2016-04-06
[Free Beacon] The Obama administration is helping Iran access billions of dollars in funds that are tied up in international banks across the globe by rewriting regulations and other measures, according to testimony Tuesday by a top U.S. official, who admitted that these assets could be used to fund terrorism.
It's almost as if Champ and Jahwn want something to happen...
The United States has been engaged in an effort to ease longstanding financial restrictions on Iran and has taken steps to aid the Islamic republic as it seeks to access billions of dollars in frozen assets, some of which could be used to fund the country’s global terrorist enterprise, a top State Department official testified to Congress.

The disclosure of this effort comes amid reports that the Obama administration is pursuing a plan that would grant Iran unprecedented access to the U.S. dollar and American financial markets, a move the administration had vowed would not take place under the comprehensive nuclear agreement.

Thomas Shannon, the State Department’s undersecretary for political affairs, informed lawmakers that efforts to aid Iran’s access to funds includes direct engagement from the Obama administration.

"There will be instances in which we need to help Iran access that money by rewriting clarifying the regulations under which money can be transferred to them," Shannon said under questioning from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

#7  Sorry TW but she is Iranian by birth:
Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. One of her maternal great-grandfathers, Robert Robinson Taylor, was an architect who was the first accredited African American architect, and the first African-American student enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4]

Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz in 1956 as part of a program where American physicians and agricultural experts sought to help developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five years old, the family moved to London for a year, later moving to Chicago in 1963

#6  Humahumahuma is Iranian

Sorry, no. Indian father, Pakistani mother. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but from the age of two grew up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Came back to the U.S. for university, where she was very active in the Muslim Student Association (Muslim Brotherhood youth branch).

#5   ValJar IS Iranian and has family there

Not Iranian. African-American red diaper baby whose father took the family to Iran as an act of doctoring the world. After five years or so he returned them to the Black Communist circle in Chicago, where young Valerie grew up very, very connected. Hence her appeal to the young Barry Obama, who desperately wanted in.

#4  After all the puppet master, ValJar IS Iranian and has family there.

Of course Humahumahuma is Iranian and probably still has access to some buttons over at Foggy Bottom she can push.

#3  The road to recovering self esteem following gov't service is long and painful. He may wish to consider selling cigarettes and condoms in a D.C. gaye bar in order to assist the healing process.

Jahwn doesn't understand war, and Champ is a weak man shopping for a legacy.

More buyoffs to 'keep' them from going nuclear?
When is someone going to be held accountable for the US bodies being shipped home from Syria, killed in the Iranian surge?
