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:
Impeach already
What they paid?
We know what rasom is and so do you and your lying boss Obama ,treason is a hanging offense Obama
What happened to the oath that this Naval Officer took?
Our military used to be our leverage.
In this cause it may be different ,
Someone please tell me how Hillary can lie so much and some American’s just look the other way?! One thing I know, Trump will win if the people don’t get discourage by the stupid media telling us everyday that Trump is down in the polls. What a joke! Who are they polling? Certainly not the people i’m talking to! Look at Trump’s crowds. They are huge! In Detroit Trump had 1500 at Cobo Hall. Hillary came few day’s later to Warren, Mi. and maybe had 500 at the most. American’s will never let this lying crook in office! This is why media bias 1) ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, Obama’s National Security Adviser.2) CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.3) ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Obama White house Press Secretary Jay Carney.4) ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary.5) ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.6) CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.Etc… etc… Get the picture?
Sounds like ransom to me.
