The only official admission that Obozo paid the Islamic regime $1.7 BILLION in cash 5 months before he left office
For Americans who don't believe this ever happened, here's CBS Newz, August 24, 2016--just five months before the end of Hussein Obozo's godforsaken 8 years in power:
The Obama administration said Wednesday it paid $1.3 billion in interest to Iran in January to resolve a decades-old dispute over an undelivered military sale, two days after ordering $400 million in cash flown to Tehran. [CBS said "allowing" instead of "ordering" because it makes Hussein look less responsible and corrupt.]
State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau wouldn't say more about the Jan. 19 payments "because of diplomatic sensitivities." The Obama administration made 13 separate payments to the mullahs, each of $99,999,999.99, and a final payment of about $10 million. The president's Treasury Department refused to explain why each of the individual payments [CBS said "transactions" to blur the issue] was just one penny under $100 million.
The money settles a dispute over a $400 million payment made in the 1970s by the U.S.-backed shah’s government for military equipment. The equipment was never delivered because of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Shah and ended diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Iran.
Two days before the Jan 19th payments, on Jan. 17 the Obama administration paid Iran the $400 million principal--in pallets of actual banknotes: euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency, raising questions about the unusual payment. Then two days later the Obama administration paid an additional $1.3 billion as interest on the $400 million over the decades.
The deal has faced increased scrutiny since the administration’s acknowledgment this month that it used the money as leverage to ensure the release of four American prisoners.
Republican critics accuse the administration of paying a “ransom,” but president Obama denies that claim, though no one has been able to explain why the U.S. paid the $400 million in cash. President Obama said it was because the U.S. and Iran didn’t have a banking relationship after years of nuclear-related sanctions, but that wouldn’t have prevented using intermediary banks that do business with both countries.
Briefing reporters last week, a senior U.S. official involved in the negotiations said the interest payments were made to Iran in a “fairly above-board way,” using a foreign central bank. But the official, who demanded anonymity, wouldn’t say if the interest was delivered to Iran in cash, as with the $400 million principal.>>
CBS sucks Democrat cock, always, so for the corrupt network to admit the above is an "admission against interest." If you're a reasonably well educated adult you know this means the admission is the barest admission of the truth that the network felt they could get away with.
Some of us heard about this when it happened. You almost certainly did NOT hear about it, because the Mainstream Media almost completely ignored it. This one brief mention was all I could find.
