Good to see they're putting some of that cash to good use.

 

[SamSpade]

Yep. For all their bluster about the Great Satan, they sure don't mind his currency.

Rials don't spend like dollars do.

This is clearly fake news. Iran promised they wouldn't do stuff like this. They even did a pinky-swear with Secretary Kerry.

I'm sure this is false, made-up, just to inflame sheeple.

Obama - Iran Cash. Isn't that the new game show hosted by snoop dog?

 

[Chris0nllyn]

Fun fact:
Any transaction with Iran in US dollars is illegal. Hence why the "Obama cash" mentioned in the title was actually euros, francs, and other currencies, but not US dollars.

In the 21st century, why is it still stacks-o-cash?

On Jan. 17, the administration paid Iran the account's $400 million principal in pallets of euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency, raising questions about the unusual payment. The $1.3 billion covers what Iran and the U.S. agreed would be the interest on the $400 million over the decades.

Yep, all reports at the time distinctly stated that it was specifically NOT US dollars. Which is not to say Al Schmucktali couldnt have requested that he be given Gods Own Greenbacks.

Which just goes to show that Obama and Kerry went along with the letter of the law while breaking it's intent.
Sneaky a-holes, Traitors. They belong in Leavenworth.

Actually they are guilty as sin.

IMO you just testified against them.

Wonder where they got the dollars then?

ATM probably...lots of trips to ATMs.

Are you sure you want to base things off the intent of a law? Say, like Obamacare, for example.

Fact is, regardless of how it looks to you or anyone else who has nightmares of Obama, the Treasury reviewed the payments and said that the DoJ gave their assurance that it met the requirements of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA). The Inspector General at the timestated in his semiannual report to Congress that the payment was made only "after receiving necessary information and authorizations from the Departments of Justice and State.”

Also, for the 100th time, this was Iran's money sent to us for purchasing military equipment. We re-nigged on the deal after the 1979 revolution and never gave the money back. I get the arguments about Iran being a piece of ####, but this was their money + interest (though the interest calculation is strange in the Treasury using annual prime lending rate and simple interest method). It may look bad on its face that it happened the same day as the hostages being sent back home, but it certainly wasn't illegal and passed high-level approval processes before happening.

It should also be noted that Iran has paid out $2.5+ billion to US nationals and companies.

The controversial $400 million payment that the U.S. sent to Iran in January, just as four American hostages were released—a planeload of Euros, Swiss Francs and other currencies—was only the first of three American cash deliveries to the country, the Obama administration reportedly told lawmakers on Tuesday.

During the 19 days following the first shipment, the U.S. sent two more planeloads of cash, totaling $1.3 billion, to Tehran, reports The Wall Street Journal. The two planeloads, which passed through Europe on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5, followed the same route as the earlier payment, a congressional aide who was briefed told the Journal. In the first payment, an Iranian cargo plane picked up the money in Geneva.

“Normally you’d use a bank transfer,” says Sick. “But Congress banned dollar transfers to Iran, so the government had to find another way. So they bought foreign currency, and transferred it in cash.”

The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.

Oh..and sorry about PDT cancelling that deal with your pals like he did. I'm sure you're sad.

Hopefully things will be exploding all around them soon.

I guess you can choose to believe a story found no where besides conspiracy theory websites if you want.

Is this hard for you? To have a legitimate conversation based on facts? Why else make things up....like....all the time? Seriously, what do you gain from making outlandish claims like that?

I don't give a red rats ass who's money it was.
Sending it to terrorists and to a country trying to make Nuclear weapons was not only stupid it was treasonous, and if you are too stupid to understand that you are an idiot.

Um, that would mean Lynch and Kerry, right? That doesn't really bolster the case you're making.

$400M was. The rest was negotiated interest.
