As if the news about the obama admin paying a $400M ransom in cash in foreign currency to Iran wasn’t bad enough we have now learned the an additional $1.3B in cash was paid too!
The failed arms deal excuse behind this payment is absurd, the Shah fell, the regime we had a deal with in 1979 no longer existed. Furthermore with the proxy war the US has been fighting against Iran since the 70’s that money belongs to America over the blood and treasure spilled! At the very least the money should go to the embassy prisoners and victims of terror attacks sanctioned by the Iranian regime.
America you’re rightly outraged over this and only one question that needs to be answered by Congressional leadership (ie Speaker Ryan, Senate Majority Ldr McConnell and House Majority Ldr McCarthy) is WHEN did they have a vote to allocate said funds IN CASH from the Treasury for the obama admin to pay Iran pursuant to Article 1 Section 9?
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
The House voted against the Iran deal, while the Senate voted to block a republican resolution to reject the deal.
“Republican John Cornyn of Texas said the pact was not legally binding beyond President Barack Obama’s final term in office. “This is not a legal document; it’s not a treaty. It’s a political agreement,” he said. “And so I hope the next president understands that he or she will have complete freedom to tear this deal up and negotiate a better deal.” ~VOANews
Take your anger and direct it at Congress. Once again they have ceded power to the Executive Branch to withdrawal our money to pay a ransom to a dangerous regime… this is their fault!
