- Did the U.S. pay Iran $400 million on the day the prisoners were released in January?
- Was this a release of Iraninan frozen assets that stems from the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis?
- If so, then why the timing of these ostensibly "unrelated" events? Is this just an attempt to stir up false accusations?
- Was this money sent via "unmarked" plane? If so, why?
- Was this transfer made with foreign currency? If so, why?

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Thanks OregonBR. I can find links. I just want to know the truth.
The WSJ is a pretty reliable source, but even they can get it wrong sometimes. I'll even take opinions, if backed up with reliable sources.
I actually think this is yet another trap to get Trump again. I sense he's being baited. My theory. |

Answer yes to all your questions. And there is a video from Iran on youtube that shows the money arriving and claiming that it is ransom. True I don't know. One of the hostages stated that their plane was delayed until the another plane arrived. When the plane arrived they departed. |

| Yes, saw an interview on TV with a person who was on the plane. All parties were on the plane but take off was delayed for hours waiting in the money to arrive. |

| How about the families who were not allowed to negotiate with the terrorists and their loved ones were killed but yet the same administration that is telling you no is secretly negotiating and paying a random. |

No one, this administration will use any excuse it can to give $$$$ and weapons to those who hate us. |

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a **** what you think you are entitled to.

| Obozo actually did a press conference updating us about ISIS and a reporter asked him about the incident. He basically mocked the question and said this is old news they told us about back in January and it's only a news story now bc the US paid in cash using foreign $. He said it was done this way bc the US doesn't have a financial relationship with Iran so they couldn't just wire the $. Allegedly, this administration was warned by advisors NOT to make the payment the same time prisoners were released bc of looks of impropriety. Does it really matter what the US intent was if the Iranians view it as a ransom payment? They've taken 3 more hostages since |

| Yes according to Obozo this was a settlement stemming from 1979 in which their assets were frozen. We are supposed to believe that it was miraculously settled after almost 40 years and HAD to be paid in foreign cash, loaded on pallets onto unmarked cargo plane in the middle of the night. Also, one of the hostages has come out and said their release was delayed for hours waiting on this plane to arrive. Too many coincidences... |

| Vickie - 2016-08-07 1:46 AM It was a release of frozen assets. Yes, this administration can do nothing wrong. They have had the most transparent, unifying administration in history. How you can not be suspect is beyond me regardless of who is the president. That you think obama is any different then other career politicians speaks volumes. This admin is as crooked as the rest.

That was pastor saeed and his wife worked tirelessly trying to get Obama to help her so he would be released after years of being held captive, tortured and beaten for being a Christian and spreading the gospel to all that would listen. Obama would never meet with her. Saeed is blasting it all over fb. |

You're welcome. I follow him on fb. I was shocked that he was going to such lengths to spread this but I guess if you've gone through what he has, he realizes that he's just passing through this world. |
