Did it ever occur to President Obama to ask why he couldn’t just cut a check to the Iranian regime? Outrage broke out this week over the revelation that Obama arranged to ship the mullahs piles of cash, worth $400 million and converted into foreign denominations, reportedly in an unmarked cargo plane. The hotly debated question was whether the payment, which the administration attributes to a 37-year-old arms deal, was actually a ransom paid for the release of American hostages Tehran had abducted.
Iran Ransom Payment: President Obama Broke the Law by Sending Cash to Iran | National Review
IMO, obama knew full well he broke the law.....but he's above the aw....so is Hillary!
The voters need to STOP HILLARY AT ALL COST!
And, you guys went ape **** over "guns for hostages" in the "Iran-Contra Scandal" where people actually WENT TO JAIL - until Bush 41 pardoned most of them (as a side note, take a look at who is pictured in the article beside Weinberger).
I wonder if Obama can pardon himself? I'm sure Hillary would do it for him.
My how we forget history, the law, and the Constitution, when it's now our side being the criminal assholes.
Typing in all capps doesn't do much for your argument.
Fun to see how you get more angry as more people realize that this is not a scandal. Not the same at all as Iran Contra. Hell, the State Dept announced this back in January, its money we owed Iran.
Read up.
I see you've read up on your talking points. I prefer to go with facts, actual evidence, and the ****ing law. And yes, I'm pissed. I'm ****ing tired of people in both parties breaking the law and getting away with it, and treating the Constitution like it's just a ****ing suggestion. Personally, I don't give a flying **** what you think all caps does to my argument, given that your argument is nothing but hackish ideology where mine is based on and formed around the Constitution and the ****ing law, both of which, I've read up on.

Look at you.....all anger, all cussing. This is why we can't discuss some things, you are so pissed off that you can't make a decent post.
You are so full of fear and anger. Your story has disintegrated, no one broke the law. But keep on screaming..because...that will really help your argument.:lamo
Nope. Upset because I'm pissed that no one cares about the law or the Constitution. Keep laughing. You'll get the government you deserve by doing so.
People did not oppose the selling arms to Iran, they where upset over giving money to an organization congress had cut off funds to. You should probably check your history a bit...

Gee, thanks for being the martyr for the constitution.
Why weren't you angry about this back in January when it was reported? Trump campaign digs up a non story, gets you all ginned up and angry, and for what? Its a non story.
I was. Check my posts. Calling this a non-story is exactly what the Reagan White House said about Iran-Contra, and see how that turned out?
The major issue between the two governments was a $400 million payment for military equipment made by the government of the Shah of Iran, prior to the 1979 uprising that topped him. The U.S. banned delivery of the jets and other weapons amid the hostage crisis, but froze the $400 million advance payment.
The two sides reached an agreement in mid-2015, at the same time as the U.S. and Iran reached a comprehensive pact on curtailing Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. The financial deal called for the U.S. to refund $1.7 billion to Tehran, consisting of the original $400 million contract for military equipment, plus $1.3 billion in interest.
That same day, Tehran released the U.S. hostages, and the U.S. freed seven Iranians detained for violating financial and other U.S. sanctions on their home country. Hence, the return of the five Americans appeared to be one side of a prisoner exchange with Tehran.

And this crapola by obozo is somehow better and moralistic? BS!!!!
The world is so busy focusing on DT's words, that they're ignoring the President's ACTIONS. I'm reading many liberal posts using baa baa. President Obama is undoubtedly laughing his ass off about how easy it is to deceive the American people. It looks like a duck. It talks like a duck. And we're so far BUYING that it's a hornet.
And, for that matter, Hillary Clinton's actions. Spent tens of thousands of dollars to circumvent FOIA with her emails. Lied to the American people re Benghazi. Lied to the American people about her emails in re to classified. When tripped up, finally, claimed she had a short circuit. WTH is that??

The author of that op-ed thinks torture is legal. So his opinion about the law isn't worth the time to read it.

Still..............ILLEGAL, just like the folks coming across the border.
You guys sure have a tough time with observing the law.
It's not a non story....the obama Regime committed a Felony!
The idea is not to become worse than your enemy. Othewise, what separates you from them?Why is it that all the other countries can use torture and you guys just give lip service to it, but rail like a bunch of banshees, if we do it?
Wait....so its a felony? OK, where are the charges?
You love to make up stuff. Not a felony, no breaking of the law.
Illegals? LOL, calm down Mickeywfail
