Cash for Hostages
But It Is Not 'Ransom'
And the money won't be used to fund terrorism
Can a secret $400 million cash payment to a state sponsor
of terrorism be just 'business as usual' for Obama?
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and sounds like duck - it is probably a duck. But Obama and Esty want us to believe otherwise.
"The news that the Obama Administration arranged for a secret $400 million payment to Iran just as the state sponsor of terrorism was releasing four U.S citizens who were being held hostage is shocking enough," said Clay Cope, Republican candidate for Congress in the
5
th
District.
"
I didn't just fall off a turnip truck
. If th
is extraordinary cash payment was legitimate, Obama would have had posed on the tarmac, next to the pallets of cash, and told the American people exactly what was occurring."
"Instead, we learn about it months after the fact. No individual American citizen, or legitimate business enterprise, can ship cash in this manner. In fact, the only organizations that ship huge sums of cash like this are drug cartels and possibly international arms dealers."
"Once again, Elizabeth Esty is AWOL on this and other key issues. Instead of asking tough questions about this scheme, and the other Foreign Policy blunders of the Obama/Clinton Administration, our Absentee Congresswoman finds time to vacation in Hawaii or celebrate the week-long nomination of Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia."
"The people of the 5th District deserve better. They deserve a Representative in Congress who holds our government accountable for its actions, and its non-action, and who works to improve the lives of the families of the 5th District."
