So, stealing is A-OK, as long as we steal from "bad people"?


Interesting morality.

$400M Payment to Iran as Americans Freed Not a Ransom: White House - NBC News
It's illegal to enter the U.S. without going through the process also......the administration has never concerned itself over legalities.

Something isn't adding up, when no litigation has occurred to free up any seized money(US dollar is world money)
They wanted cash and probably didn't want US currency. Gold would have been the other alternative.

We never disputed the money was Iran's. There's nothing to litigate.

Why does Donald Trump say the things he says?

Most of us actually believe we should obey the law.

I like to think so, but after reading these threads, I'm less convinced....

If there is a report it's been removed.

In cash, converted to various foreign currencies, stacked on pallets, loaded onto an unmarked planed. Why all the subterfuge, when like an earlier poster pointed out, a couple clicks on a mouse would have taken care of the transfer.

Yeah, we can trust our government.

This isn't even a decent attempt at a spin.

There is a pattern, and it started when crooked Hillary was SOS, with secret government paying cash and giving arms to people dedicated to killing Americans. Time to change direction and get rid of these sssssssssssss<
