The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.
Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
Will Trump mention/condemn this?
Barry is too much of a dumbass to be the Anti-Christ. He’s just Satan’s suppository.
In less than a week this story will have gone down the memory hole.
24 hrs.
Never forget, the Senate Republicans let this go through. They are morally indistinguishable from the Democrats.
Oh stop it please. What’s a few hundred millions between butt buddies? Never forget, Obumbum is a MUZZIE. The Yanks are soooooooo screwed,yet they fail to see it. When does hunting season on leftards/SJWs start. Very,very,very soon,if the few real Yanks wake up.
The death of a once great nation.
Who would have thought that it would have been so quick?
If Crooked Hillary wins, America, and the world as we know it, will be done like burnt toast.
This was all predicted in 2008.
It’s Jimmy Carter all over again.
Iranians aren’t stupid – they demanded cash.
But not U.S. dollars, apparently. Like you said, not stupid.
When I first read the headline over at Drudge I thought present obathroom had fled the country with 400 million.
We never get a break, now I will have to put back all that left over Halloween candy we planned to dance around and give to our liberal democrat neighbors.
Can’t believe the Iranian Idiots didn’t demand gold ? If we have any left ?
Those euros won’t be worth burning in a few months, at least someone in the state dept made a good decision to give them paper currency trash.
Worse. Much worse.
Not a ******. Nooooooooo
This action shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’s just setting up his retirement plan in a safe refuge. Does anyone really think that Obama is going to retire to one of the 57 States! This is only the start, we can expect a few more plane loads of cold cash to be transported before the election. It is going to be interesting in the next few years to see who was smarter, the Clintons in setting up their Foundation in America or Obama in getting his money out of America and into a foreign haven.
Sorry, don’t think Obama will leave the USA, he has it made, if Hillary wins that’s even better. On the other hand, if Trump wins…..
This is all just part of the Globalization Plan. Very astute of the Iranians to get paid in Euros, that way the “refugees” have suitcases of ready cash to buy up property and businesses in whichever County is now on the invasion list. Who wouldn’t be willing to take over-market value cash for their property so as to move out of neighborhoods which are now destabilized by the throngs of invaders who are making life miserable and make a new life in a safer place.
Reminds me a little of the 12 million dollars in 100 dollar bills we hauled out to the Tribal leaders in Afghanistan.
Talk about a sweet ride- The locals knew that if they blew up a truck the whole village would be executed.
At least that rip-off came from world wide cocaine sales.
Interesting that Congress approved this 400 million..
Expect a tie in with this and the arms transfers from Benghazi to Syria and elsewhere with upcoming WikiLeaks revelations. It seems the entire Dem establishment are email doofuses and besides laying bare America’s most sensitive secrets, have also painted a target on what’s left of their credibility.
I have to laugh when Obama wags his finger at the public, insisting Trump is woefully unprepared to be POTUS. Was a radicalized junior Illinois senator with zero legislative or executive experience any better prepared? Let’s face it the president learns on the job, there is no real preparation, though executive experience in or out of government can come in handy I hear.
Having said that, Mr Trump needs to pick better fights. Forget about Islamist wives, or dallying on supporting fellow GOPers, or quips about Hillary’s emails, except to point out her negligence and ignorance about security (neither she nor her top aides received any training, even though it was required).
Reagan figured that out, so did Harper (before the mediocracy orchestrated put down); now he needs to do the same.
Leave the minions to his underlings like Giuliani and Gingrich; they are well equipped to take on the useful idiots of the left. Aim your guns squarely at Clinton, and her partner in subterfuge Obama (what a disgrace injecting his partisanship from his POTUS podium; what does she have on him; is Libya his last stand too?), along with the failed policies of the left on immigration, economics and security.
Fox has more viewers than CNN; it’s true LIVs don’t watch the news, favouring sound bytes that feed their ignorance, but the worm seems to be turning. The polls are discounting the conventions as we speak. Hillary will no doubt launch many attack ads stating she is less incompetent, temperamental or untrustworthy than Trump, to box him so he can’t recover, despite a firestorm of self-inflicted leaks coming forward.
Obama and Clinton obviously know if they facilitated illegal arms transfers in Libya and if so, must be freaked out by the WikiLeaks revelations. Immigration has rocketed to the top of the charts with voters, and they want it curtailed, especially refugees.
Notwithstanding several GOP morons jumping ship to save their skins, if Hillary and her crew can’t get way ahead in the polls by labour day, they are in big trouble. Then again, with debates now scheduled to compete with Monday night and Sunday night football games, which has never happened in either case before, they hope to put an information shroud over Hillary as she bluffs all in against Trump and the GOP, sure the dealer has stacked the deck.
So far, everything is going according to plan, especially the idea she can lie with impunity. I said to a friend owning the “truth” is the new political commodity. Yes she is indeed an accomplished liar (her greatest skill), but how long will the bored voter look the other way as hers and Obama’s reckless judgment become painfully clear with each passing day?
Her 550% increase in Syrian refugees promise has to go; the GOP will hang that one around her neck like a political millstone, along with her SA links.
Have to disagree Liz. The best gun salesman in the world will not retire in America no matter who wins the election. He would never be able to field a protection service big enough to keep him safe.
It is treason, treason likely paid for by ISIS oil money channelled through Turkey. Remember that the US, with the best satellite surveillance system in the world, just couldn’t find the ISIS oil caravans. The Russians had no such problem. Which is probably why the US administration has developed a hate-on against the Russians.
Ambassador Chris Stevens met with the Turkish ambassador the day he was killed, in Benghazi. I have come to the conclusionthat Hillary wasn’t sad to see the end of Chris Stevens. He knew too much.
So all this is the raving of a paranoic. Right? Don’t pay any attention.
I do hope to live long enough to see Obama swing.
