Obama paid the Iranians 400 million in cash in January 2016 to release the American hostages and then plane lied about it even though the hostages were released immediately after the American plane landed in Iran with a stack full of cash.
Claudia Rosetta made this observation about the man:
“Thus did President Obama scold those who are now asking why his administration secretly airlifted $400 million worth of cash to Iran this past January, just as Iran was releasing four American prisoners.
By Obama’s account, there’s nothing to see here. Not only did Obama deny, despite the striking coincidence of timing, that the payment was a ransom. He also mocked anyone who might see the story of the cash itself as troubling news, or newsworthy at all. Obama dismissed such reactions as “the manufacturing of outrage in a story that we disclosed in January.”
Welcome, once again, to the vertigo of the Obama “narrative,” in which the priority of his “most transparent” administration is not to deal honestly with the American public, but to spin a web of half truths, enmeshed in complexities, to cover up highly questionable uses of power — and then, if caught red-handed, use the bully pulpit to deride and dismiss the critics . . . . Since the payment of the $400 million in January, two Iranian-Americans have been held by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.”.
