If Obama cut a deal for the release of hostages (pure conjecture), he paid for it with Iranian money (pure fact).
You are certainly drinking the Obama kool-aid and can't see the forest for the trees. Wake up already!

Let's put two and two together. Iran and Russia are on very good terms, this is fact. Putin would like to see Trump win the election, that too, has become obvious. So the Iranians, at Russia's behest, cook up the ransom story as a way to embarass Obama and damage Clinton by association, and help boost Trump.

This is why we have the government we have. This is why we have the candidates we have.


Truth?


This is from back in January, where is the secret. The only thing they are guilty of is bad timing.


The $400M was their principal, the remaining $1.3B was interest, why is this so confusing.

The U.S. State Department announced the government had agreed to pay Iran $1.7 billion to settle a case related to the sale of military equipment prior to the Iranian revolution, according to a statement issued on Sunday.
Iran had set up a $400 million trust fund for such purchases, which was frozen along with diplomatic relations in 1979. In settling the claim, which had been tied up at the Hague Tribunal since 1981, the U.S. is returning the money in the fund along with "a roughly $1.3 billion compromise on the interest," the statement said.

Here's the problem, well, one of them anyway.

If you make the stretch that its NOT a ransom payment and you back the words of the spokesman who's saying it wasn't ransom, even if you agree with him, the problem is that it LOOKS so much like ransom that the 'bad guys' are going to think its ransom and act act like its ransom. The only thing that really matters isn't if its ransom or not, what matters is if it LOOKS like ransom that puts people in danger. The main thing is the safety of people who might get kidnapped.

Default No matter how one presents the word Ransom!

Obama and Clinton has their fingers prints over this one. This deal did not happen over night.


Clinton was right not a shot was fired, but appeasement never works long term. Ask PM Neville Chamberlain! Yet anther event that defines the Clinton years as Sectary of State.

Obama followers don't think - they take orders. Obama says it was a pure coincidence and the bah it back. Anyone who questions it gets attacked.
