It looks like the State Department is having a hard time explaining away the Obama administration’s payment of $400 million to Iran in exchange for the release of 4 captured Americans.
Of course, they deny that it was paid in order to secure the release of the hostages: they insist that the transfer of the money was merely the end result of a 40 year old deal meant to be made between the US and the Shah of Iran that got held up when he was overthrown and the Ayatollah took over.
It was precisely this point that State Department spokesperson John Kirby tried to sell on Fox News, but to little avail. It didn’t help that he referred to the payment not as a “ransom” but as “leverage” in order to get the Iranians to release the prisoners, basically undermining his and the entire administration’s narrative surrounding the incident.
Watch Kirby’s Fox News interview on the next page:
OBAMA TRAITOR
OR,, as we normal folks like to call it,,, RANSOM.

Paid liar.
If I were the people of Louisiana – I WOULD BE PISSED!!!
The Governor is a spineless liar and a weak leader! I would want him impeached!
And to cover Obamas$#%&!@*he said that he didn’t want relief efforts to be hampered? LIES!!!
I bet the entire state of Louisiana wants to slap him hard! I would NOT ALLOW Obama or Hillary into my state!
Obama is golfing while we drown and starve? And he says it’s because he doesn’t want to hamper relief efforts? My$#%&!@*!!
LIES!!!
A good leader would have quit his golfing short and been in Milwaukee, California, AND Louisiana!
In fact – you WOULDN’T be able to stop a good leader from being there!!!
Obama and Hillary are crapping from the wrong hole – YET AGAIN!
THEN!!! Get this!!!! The ONLY leader to show up with food, water, and toys for misplaced children gets bashed by the Democrats and the Media??? WTF???
I saw Trump unloading boxes of food, and he gets accused of delivering play dough? No, he didn’t unload the entire truck, but he got it started! Freaking ungrateful Hillary supporters!
Hillary Supporters, you should be ashamed! This is disgusting and shameful and you freaking know it!!!!!
Lol, good luck sweetheart.
