Why was money flown to Iran?
An excellent letter by Tony Atkins on May 13 explains the flaws of Obama's various past accords, deals, among other failures. The JCPA Iranian deal is not even as binding as a handshake; it was just a $150 billion public relation stunt fully supported by the European Union and the MSM hailed as being "peace in our time." What has not been discussed is the extra $1.6 billion in cash flown to Iran in a large transport plane at an out-of-the-way airport location in crates of $100 bills.
One-hundred-dollar bills are fungible, meaning they are accepted everywhere in the world as an international currency. Obama agreed to also deliver $1.6 billion in green, knowing this was not going to be used to pay the farmers or given to the Iranian peasant as a bonus: they can and likely are being used for nefarious deeds like paying for assassinations and bribes.
You wouldn't write a check to an assassin for services rendered or for a shipment of chlorine gas. Cash leaves no trail. Obama is well briefed, yet choose to ignore that this money may be used to provide the Iranians with a means to pay for surreptitious services to the thugs in Iran and the world's unscrupulous politicians.
What can be the point of sending nearly a ton of $100 bills to Iran. Why?
