Did it ever occur to President Obama to ask why he couldn’t just cut a check to the Iranian regime? Outrage broke out this week over the revelation that Obama arranged to ship the mullahs piles of cash, worth $400 million and converted into foreign denominations, reportedly in an unmarked cargo plane. The hotly debated question was whether the payment, which the administration attributes to a 37-year-old arms deal, was actually a ransom paid for the release of American hostages Tehran had abducted. It is a waste of time to debate that point further. The Iranians have bragged that the astonishing cash payment was a ransom — and Obama has been telling us for months that we can trust the Iranians. The hostages were released the same day the cash arrived. One of the hostages has reported that the captives were detained an extra several hours at the airport and told they would not be allowed to leave until the arrival of another plane — inferentially, the unmarked cargo plane ferrying the cash. The reason American policy has always prohibited paying ransoms to terrorists and other abductors is that it only encourages them to take more hostages. And, as night follows day, Iran has abducted more Americans since Obama paid the cash. No matter how energetically the president tries to lawyer the ransom issue, if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck . . .
Oh, and there is also Section 560.701, which makes clear that willful violations of the regulations constitute serious felony offenses under federal criminal law — punishable by up to 20 years’ imprisonment.

Judith Vella · Pratt InstituteJackie Garnett Haters? That's not it at all, you Koolaid drinker. Where's the INTEGRITY OF OUR COUNTRY? It's all gone down the toilet with this Administration. Maybe you don't have any integrity either, so this is OK with you. Well it isn't for a LOT of Americans. We WON'T put up with LYING, SELLING OUR COUNTRY OUT to Dictators, putting our country in Jeopardy. We have the RIGHT to be SAFE in our Country, and we can't even TRUST the people at the HELM right now. Is this what you want?Like · Reply · 100 · Aug 6, 2016 9:52am

Christopher AnkneyYou are all outraged by a Conservative paper writing a biased hit piece that misconstrues what happened, the. You tell Liberals to lay off their Koolaid because they don't let your biased paper dictate the truth of what happened. If the President were doing clearly illegal things, he would be impeached. You control Congress--it is pretty simple to check his Presidential powers. Yet, keep on with your tired narrative of a man who somehow is always going against the Constitution and yet no Repulbican Congress does anything and pretends they have no power to do their jobs.Like · Reply · 2 · 17 hrs
