The US secretly flew $400 million stashed inside wooden pallets out to Iran as four Americans were released from Tehran - but the Obama administration insists it was not a ransom payment.
The pallets, which were stuffed with euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currencies, arrived in Tehran on January 17. That same day, four US citizens were released in exchange for seven Iranians held in the United States.
Officials denied any link between the payment and the prisoner exchange, saying the deal was part of a $1.7 billion settlement to resolve a failed 1979 arms deal, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Bur critics claim that the clandestine multi-million dollar payment was part of the hostage negotiations.
They also point to the fact that President Barack Obama failed to make any mention of the $400 million when he announced the prisoner exchange.

Call me crazy, but I'm not sure why Obama or the GOP even cared about "rescuing" these guys. Seems to me they all went over there voluntarily and knew the danger.
Just Obama's way to fund terrorism. Trying to ruin our great nation. That's been his agenda from the beginning. To tore down the US and start over with his ideas on how it should be which would be Marxism.
well, what else would you call it. i'm not buying coincidence.
Oh No, that was just a coincidence, according to those in charge. Totally agree with 6:47 and 7:28 AM. This POTUS, without a doubt, is the very worst in the history of the United States. Shame on anyone, and I do mean anyone, who voted for this trash.
They are going to let hillary explain this one.
The same way she explained that when foreign entities gave her "Foundation" millions of dollars and then received the only permit to explore for gold, or 20% of the world's uranium, or no bid contracts, it was ALL A COINCIDENCE.
How they can say that with a straight face is an indicator of just how stupid they think you are....
Keep cheering!!!
Did Obama and Kerry pay a ransom, building on the superior efforts of Hillary? Does a wild bear ....? You know the answer to both questions.
If that wasn't ransom then I'm Dolly Parton. He insults Americans with boldfaced lies. How stupid does this peep think we are?! Please. ☕️🚬
whats funny is you are the same folks who screamed "obama is not doing anything to rescue these guys". lol. Make up your mind
