Apparently flying them pallets of cash wasn’t enough.
A draft report from the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations indicates the Obama administration granted a license to Iran that allowed them access to the U.S. financial system, and they did so while repeatedly lying to the American people in saying they wouldn’t do so.
According to the bombshell report, Obama’s Treasury Department issued a license in February of 2016, that would have allowed Iran to convert $5.7 billion it held at a bank in Oman to Euros by exchanging them first into U.S. dollars.
The financial maneuvering with Iran, a violation of sanctions, was so sketchy that two American banks refused to take part because they didn’t want to be in violation themselves. Also, as the Associated Press reports, there was a “reputational risk of doing business with or for Iran.”
The former President and his minions were so desperate for a deal with Iran that they didn’t care about America’s own reputation. (RELATED: President Trump Expected to Announce Iran in Violation of Nuclear Deal).
The Iran Deal itself was built on arrogance and naivete. But the eagerness of the Obama administration to help the terrorist regime in Tehran – and then lie about it — is an utter disgrace. Detailed here;https://t.co/hqxMLkB8Q4

Multiple Obama officials testified that such access to the U.S. financial system was not a possibility.
Iran “will continue to be denied access to the world’s largest financial and commercial market,” Treasury Secretary Jack Lew claimed.

One of his top deputies later stated that despite the nuclear deal, “Iran will be denied access to the world’s most important market and unable to deal in the world’s most important currency.”
Also clear from the story that top Obama administration officials lied about these decisions. Important with Obama, as with Trump, to use that word when it applies. They lied. https://t.co/6VkuImGByk

Senator Rob Portman was charitable, calling the Obama administration’s outright lies ‘misleading.’
“The Obama administration during the negotiation of the Iran deal misled the American people,” he charged. “I think they did so because they were desperate to get a deal.”
According to the AP report, “Iran began to complain that it wasn’t reaping the benefits it had envisioned” almost immediately after the sanctions had been lifted through the deal.
One month later, access to the U.S. financial system was granted.
Not only were they desperate for a deal, but they were desperate to placate the Iranian regime to keep the deal in place.
Because of the failure to convince American banks to work with Iran, funds were reportedly accessed by other exchange means.
The banks were unwilling to work with a terror sponsor in Iran, while the Obama administration was willing to send them pallets of cash and access to the financial system.
How is this not treason?
Do you think the Obama administration should have granted Iran access to our financial system? Share your thoughts below!

Yes, we know–but have all the times & ways he has done so & continues to do so been revealed? Let the wimpy traitor get what he deserves for trying to destroy OUR America!
OBAMA SUCKS
OBAMA SUCKS
Obama is a traitor…only out to make himself look good…WORST President ever…
Pardon me, but the SOB should be charged with treason.
Is there really anybody that is surprised at this????? If you are, you need to go back to sleep. We will fix it. Sue him, until he has to sell his 8 million dollar mansion in DC, and move back to a hut in Kenya. Maybe his brother will take him back. They do need bait, to catch the man eating tigers.
“How is this not treason?”…because it was perpetrated by a 1/3rd black muslim homosexual racist leftist…if a white president had tried to assist a Christian nation in a similar fashion, the fascistcrats and their media lapdogs would be baying for blood…imagine what other nuggets of treason by the kenyan fascist and his soros-owned sewer-rats would be uncovered if the President and his administration weren’t preoccupied by the daily fake news/scandals…!…and that’s precisely WHY there ARE daily, fake and phony lies being concocted…
No surprises here!!! Obama never did what he said, always did what he said he wouldn’t!!!
I hate you Obama, Hillery, and the rest of there corrupt clan. They should all hang by their chicken necks NOW!
Obama and Hillery MUST PAY THE PRICE for putting this country at risk. No doubt about it! DO IT NOW! These people are straight up crooks that need to be punished for what they have done. We must pray they get what they deserve. Hang these bastards!
Treason. pure snd simple!
No surprise here, Obama never did what he said, always did what he said he wouldn’t!!!
That Obama was a low towing traitor to Iran is a slam dunk fact. That he has not been sent to prison for his in office sedition is a travesty.
Treason can only be charged during a declared war. There is no treason without a declared war.
“Because of the failure to convince American banks to work with Iran, funds were reportedly accessed by other exchange means.

How is this not treason?” THAT IS THE QUESTION- IS THIS NOT TREASON?
Always exactly what the left wanted to peddle to the country. Prove it!!
Before the 1980 election, Ronald Reagan made a secret deal with Iran to keep the hostages there until after Election Day and rewarded that terrorist nation by selling arms, the monies of which were used to finance Central American right-wing dictators. Remember Daniel Ortega? This was the whole basis of Iran-Contra, which most people have conveniently forgotten. At least Oliver North didn’t profit by it when he raw for the US Senate in Virginia in 1994, during that Contract With America nonsense.
Is there any similarity between this and China suddenly granting President Trump’s private enterprises permission to build hotels, clubs, spas etc. right before the North Korean summit meetings?
The above is B.S. and is not germane to the Iran nuclear deal which, if Trump had stayed with deal, would have been a stabilization factor for the middle east . I am not a fan of the Obama government however the Iran nuclear deal was on the right track for normalization of relations with Iran but has been scuttled by Israel and the American Jewish lobby that have been pushing for regime change in Iran. The sanctions on Iran was an American effort to destroy the Iranian economy to facilitate a takeover which still continues today. As an outsider looking in at American political system I can only conclude that for every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.
So what the heck are they going to do about it ? as with Hillary , they will do NOTHING about the crimes and corruption and the money they stolen from the tax payers..
Thanks affirmative action for that worthless foreign born terrorist loving dog eating raghead imposter desecrating the White House for 8 long miserable years. And he gets away with his crimes scot free, just the hag Hillary did. They both need to be hanged. Or shot. Or both to make sure they’re dead enough.
Put this moron in prison.
Obama is a TRAITOR. He needs to be shot or hung, for what he did to this country and all or the lies he told. He hates all of us and he thinks he should rule the world. I don’t get it why the Demorats don’t see what he is and what he did.
ObamASS is a Muslim, not AMERCAN and did all that he could to help Iran to develop nuclear weapons. He rebuked Israel and “sold”/made weapons available to terrorist. And now the question of a 3rd term is being talked about. I do not think that AMERICA could survive an ObamASS 3rd turd, I mean term.
In fact, Obama was BORN in Iran.
The brown clown with another lie ??
This muslim was the nastiest ( well, maybe if Benghazi Killery had won) human that money
could buy. Community organizer…? this socialist HAS NO PAST, like the rest of us.
Islamism is hate based political doctrine, NOT RELIGION !!!
A skinny ISIS warrior !!! How do you treat an enemy ‘warrior,’ ???
Obama is a traitor to this country and should be facing a firing squad or a hanging after that Hillary and her cronies
Now, I can’t believe such a thing. Obooma lying to us for the 1000,000,000th time??? now that is a bridge to far. Why, we can keep our doctor, right? And our insurance plan, right?. And all of this from such a good egotistical man, who married a ape with a ass big enough to use as a double runway at Atlanta International airport, right? How can you even believe this thing called a lie. Osama bin Hussain Obooma, the greatest president since Karl Marx, or Vladimir Putin. But a liar,,, NO. He never lies, unless his lips are moving. Not to mention, I just got my insurance rebate for me and my family. It totaled 10million dollars. Not, just lying.
…so netflix will obviously cancel it’s deal with the traitorous and ineligible impostor…right??
Obama broke more federal laws than Whitey Bulger in his prime as President , the ONLY reason he got away with it is because he made sure he had the two most corrupt AG’s in the history of this country and the most corrupt FBI director .
Having Brennan, ( An admitted communist) as CIA director is just icing on the cake , Obama was by far the most corrupt President of all time.
When Obama placed his hand on top of the Koran with the Bible underneath during his inauguration it said everything you needed to know about him.
THANK GOD we have a real President now who loves America and puts American citizens first .
Don’t know where that “k” came from, but it doesn’t belong there – -please, ignore it; the word is “saboteur”.
Fraudbama was an “agent of espionage” (as in spy and saboteurk) he and his administration are also guilty of “felony grand theft” (BILLIONS of US tax dollars). Those who served in his “regime”, who are American citizens are guilty of “treason”! IF there is any justice left in this nation (??) they will ALL be convicted and executed.

Proof?
If it looks like treason and sounds like treason, then it’s absolutely TREASON! How much longer are we going to continue to discuss what Obama and the Clintons have done to America?????
TREASON, OBAMA COMMITTED TREASON MORE THAN ONCE AND MUST BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED. WHY HASN’T ANYTHING BEEN DONE TO ARREST AND CHARGE ANYONE IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION?????
…wow…what a surprise….!! NOT…!! You would have to have been deaf, dumb an blind…or a fascistcrat…NOT to have know that hussein-the-homosexual was a muslim…after 8 years of decimating our country, our traditions, our way of life, whilst at the same time flying in plane loads of jihadis and lauding THEIR ways…do you think this news will finally wake up congress to REALLY investigate the muslim usurper/traitor?? Or as usual will his 1/3rd blackness stifle all curiosity ??
It really was already obvious that Obama favored the Muslim religion over Christianity, and his claim to BE a “Cristian” was likely nothing more than political expediency.

Obama’s “government model” — government of the radical Islamic terrorists, by the radical Islamic terrorists for the radical Islamic terrorists. Now we know the real reason Muller’s team is packed with card-carrying, radical left wing Democrat traitors — to protect the two biggest traitors, Obama and H R Clinton. Rice, Jarrett, Holder, Kerry, Clapper and all the other fiends of this America-hating admin similarly get protection. Trump should demand that Sessions and Rosenstein appoint a non-Democrat special counsel with prosecution power to investigate and bring charges against this group of traitors. If they don’t, fire them both.
Of course he did, he even released funds that Congress froze… and Iran sued in world court to get back, but the world court said the U.S. had a right to keep because of the hostage situation… to the tune of several billion dollars – a treaty that was violated (the world court said) because the hostage situation was an act of war! Obama undid all of that WITHOUT Congressional approval!! Plus, the U.S. Constitution says that the President make treaties with two-thirds consent of the Senate – which Obama did not have!!!
how many crimes has obama committed against america, how many treason’s?

Treason? How many times have we heard this word when discussing so many of Obama’s backroom deals, undercover deals, secret deals and even to current Deep State revelations, his “Resist Movement” against the current president, his shadowing President Trump behind his back to meet with world leaders Trump had just met with…yes, the word TREASON comes up a lot! Question is, what will be done about ANY of his treasonous activities?
