Trump is crazy. He's a loose cannon. He's such a crazy loose cannon that he probably wouldn't take $400 million in foreign currency, load it on cargo pallets, put it on an unmarked plane and then have no idea who actually got the money. Only sensible experts in diplomacy like Obama and his cohort would do something like that.
The State Department revealed in a press briefing Monday that they do not know who in Iran picked up the $400 million that the Obama administration airlifted to Iran as leverage to get American hostages released.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said that while he did not know who picked up the $400 million that was flown to Iran, he said that the Obama administration does.
“Do you know who picked up the money?” Associated Press reporter Bradley Klapper asked.
“I don’t,” Toner said, triggering some confusion between him and Klapper.
“Who’d you pay?” Klapper asked.
“I believe it was Iranian officials and Iranian government officials, but I don’t know particularly who individually it was,” Toner said.
“Do you know from which part of the Iranian government you paid?” Klapper asked.
“I don’t have that information, no,” Toner said.
“Does the administration know who it paid?” Klapper asked.
“I’m certain they would, yes,” Toner said.
Really, this is the sort of thing that should be settled once and for all with a criminal investigation and hefty jail time.
