Investigate Obama's and Kerry's Unlawful Deals with Iran
2018-01-27
[American Thinker] Two years ago, as then-secretary of State John Kerry was boasting in Davos about Obama’s deal with Iran, he acknowledged that some of the $150 billion given to the mullahs in Tehran "will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented." He was right. We don’t know how much money went to fund Iran’s global terrorist activities. And we know even less about the billions in untraceable cash that was supposedly delivered to the mullahs or the recipients of that cash. How about investigating that? There should be ample evidence to prove Kerry and his boss President Obama have willfully engaged in terrorist financing and money laundering. That is unless the pertinent emails and documents related to the payments to Iran had been lost or destroyed.

After the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was implemented on January 16, 2016, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who wished to lift all sanctions on Iran, kept complaining that "On paper the United States allows foreign banks to deal with Iran, but in practice they create Iranophobia so no one does business with Iran." As much as the Obama administration wanted to comply, it needed congressional support to do that. Thus, the Obama administration decided to circumvent U.S. anti-money laundering laws to help Iran’s economy.

#4  That "agreement" with Iran is NOT a treaty. A treaty as to be ratified by congress. Zero and Fred Munster used this crazy crap multi national memo as a binding document to give money and support to Iran...basically because Zero didn't want Israel to win the next big blow up in the middle east.

What everyone has missed ignored is that none of the cash transfers and release of bank accounts should have happened without approval of Congress.

Or was it really a really big fat ransom for those six sailors disguising the real transfer?

#3  Provided he is given a second term, I can see The Donald and Mattis dropping the hammer on selected Iranian sites during the November 2019 to January 2020 timeframe.

#2  And the quid pro quo, Obama's $60 million book deal with a German publisher.

#1  ...the Obama administration instructed Treasury to find “the mechanism” through which untraceable cash could be delivered to the Iranian terrorist regime.

The logistics of orchestrating financial bribes to rogue nations requires deliberate planning.
