Iran 'Ransom': Feds Claim $1.7 Billion Paid in Full - But Won't Explain How

TEL AVIV — Questions continue to linger about the Obama administration’s decision to deliver $400 million in pallets of foreign currency flown to Iran aboard an unmarked jetliner the same day five American hostages were released from Iranian custody.

The State and Treasury Departments both told Breitbart News that the U.S. government transferred the remaining $1.3 billion, which was part of the same settlement for which the $400 million was an initial payment in January. However, despite numerous requests, neither State nor Treasury would provide an answer on how the Obama administration allegedly transferred to Iran the remaining $1.3 billion.

It is not clear whether the $1.3 billion was similarly delivered to Iran in the same spy novel-like fashion as the $400 million – in cash pallets of foreign currency. If the money was not transferred in cash, that could raise questions about President Obama’s explanation that cash was necessary because there was no banking relationship.

It's also not clear how much went into the pockets of Obama and Kerry

It's all bollocks. The $400 million in cash in bills of several countries was terrorism cash to give to bad actors who are infiltrating those nations, and plotting against and causing harm to non-believers.

Probably correct.

A 10% finder's fee doesn't seem out of the question, plus generous donations to the Clinton Foundation and Obama Library.

Shouldn't we DESTROY the country (like Japan and Germany) before we build it back up again?
