Obama paid billions to a regime that requires its citizens to chant “Death to America.” That regime has used the money to finance jihad terrorists who want to see America’s destruction and are actively working against American interests. Treason is defined as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Obama ought to be charged with treason.
“Obama-era cash traced to Iran-backed terrorists,” by Bill Gertz, Washington Times, February 7, 2018:
The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.
According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force, Iran’s main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps….
“The enormous financial windfall the Iranian regime received because of the deal — access to more than $100 billion, including $1.8 billion in cash — has not been used to better the lives of the Iranian people,” Mr. Trump said Jan. 12. “Instead, it has served as a slush fund for weapons, terror, and oppression, and to further line the pockets of corrupt regime leaders.”
Mr. Trump said the United States is countering Iranian proxy wars in Yemen and Syria and cutting the regime’s money flows to terrorists.
“We have sanctioned nearly 100 individuals and entities involved with the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile program and its other illicit activities,” he said.
The American money sent by the Obama administration was first flown to Switzerland aboard an unmarked chartered aircraft, and then converted into euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. An Iranian transport aircraft flew the cash to Iran in January and February 2016 in three shipments. The first aircraft arrived in Tehran on Jan. 16, 2016, with $400 million piled on wooden pallets. Two other aircraft shipments of cash were sent on Jan. 22, 2016, and Feb. 5, 2016, totaling $1.3 billion.
In all, Iran received $1.7 billion in U.S. cash that has been used to fund its covert terrorist support operations.
The first $400 million coincided with the release of four Americans held hostage by Iran, a move by Iran to make the money appear as if the Obama administration had paid a ransom to Tehran for the release of the Americans.
The Obama administration sought to justify the cash transfers to the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism by claiming the U.S. government was set to lose a legal arbitration case over arms purchases from the United States made by the government of the Shah of Iran, the predecessor government to the Islamist regime that took power in 1979. However, the primary motivation was President Obama’s effort to woo the Iranian regime and seek to change its backing for terrorism in the Middle East….
C. W. Smith says
Imagine that.
J D S says
IM SHOCKED, JUST SHOCKED that any money, given to anyone, by the U.S.,would be used for terrorism……Treason??? Why not?
elee says
So how much of this tide of money has actually been stopped now?
Strangerinastrangeland says
New money has been stopped. They got the funds mentioned.
Andy says
What did President Obama know, and when did he know it?

StellaSaidSo says
This money was paid IN CASH. There is no way of recovering any of it.
Bill says
That was the point of Obama delivering it that way. Eventually it will come back in the form of some instrument of destruction killing Americans. That is why Obama gave them the money.
WPM says
Like the picture showing the true traitor President Obama flipping the bird to the American people. He was the most anti American president elect in America beloved by the MSM and Hollywood a “useful tool” for the One World Government movement . I think Trump made a lot of speeches about stopping the money flow going there, like stopping the cash flow to the terrorist friendly training country of Pakistan .With the Obama supports in congress, and running the top levels of the FBI Trump will have his work cut out for him. Every week its another story to keep the masses entertained, porn star,s dating from 2006, Boris and Natasher spy stories how the Russians did a brain melt to get us not to vote for the other Clinton {the one who sole asset was she was a female} .
Svobodnik says
Thanks – that was an appropriate assessment of the fine mess we are in….
Carolyne says
Yes, exactly on spot and the money, of course, was tax money confiscated from hard working Americans. Mr. Obama’s hand signal shows exactly how he feels about our country–not his–his is Kenya.
Peter says
The Obama administration engaged in T R E A S O N for its absurd policy of sacrificing and undermining U.S. national security interests at all costs to appease and kowtow to Iran, not to mention collude with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Funding terrorism also violates U.S. federal law.
mortimer says
This is one of the GREATEST CONSPIRACIES in American history. A POLITICAL CANDIDATE with the COOPERATION of the President of the United States spent a HUGE FORTUNE to purchase FALSE FABRICATED INTELLIGENCE to acquire a WARRANT to have permission to spy on a presidential candidate to FRAME the candidate and SUBVERT and THROW an AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!
They are the essence of EVIL.
commonsense says
Mortimer, your comment is an absolutely accurate and succinct distillation of this obscene act of conspiracy on the part of many in government, including the former eight-year occupant of the White House.
mortimer says
By trying to normalize relations with a country that is engaged in a cold war against the US and proxy war against Israel and get NOTHING in return for a king’s ransom… that is the height of absurdity.
Why did Obama make a deal in which the US DID NOT BENEFIT?
Terry Gain says
The Iran deal is insane as it leaves Iran with an unfettered right to develop nuclear weapons when the deal expires. It leaves Israel with no choice but to attack iran or be a sitting duck.
Carolyne says
Because Obama is a Muslim and his every though–as required by his “Religion” –is that he further Islam at the cost of infidels.
mariam rove says
Obama is a traitor to say the least. M
Carol says
Not only Obama, but the Democratic senators and chief of foreign affairs that sided with him. They kept telling us that “at least with a deal, we’ll keep Iran under control” or “Iran has kept it’s part of the deal so let’s kep ours.”. I wonder what part of the deal Iran was keeping since they keep thumbing their nose at us. The people of Iran are also fed up with this regime, too. Love to see that one under a microscope!
Tom says
The U.N. Needs to hold Obama accountable for all the death and destruction that is being wrought upon the world by Iran and it’s Islamic terrorist groups.
Most certainly the Nobel Peace Prize that he was given must be taken back.
This crook has had enough freedom to enable his political ideology on the world. End it NOW.
StellaSaidSo says
The UN is dominated by the OIC. It won’t hold Obama accountable for anything. And the Nobel Peace prize has been worthless since Yasser Arafat won it in 1993. However, the US can make Obama accountable, and I’m sure the Trump administration is working on it. Neither Obama nor Hillary should get too comfortable.
sally says
Just whose side did you think the UN is on? It has never been on America’s side. Just as Obama worked with Iran to attack us so did Franklin Roosevelt and his Communist wife set up the UN to erode America’s strength. The Roosevelts were America’s enemy too.
MFritz says
So the Iranians actually put the money where their mouths are? Well, mission accomplished, Mr Obama! You certainly made the world a “better” place. For jihadists.
No Muzzies Here says
What Obama did to this country is treason. Treason by a president is the ultimate unthinkable thought. Unfortunately, it is true.
There is no recognition of what this man did. He has gotten away with it.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
All the monies paid by Obama belong to Iran stolen and kept in the evil united states by idiot shah. Mr Spencer should inquire from Treasury Deparment if a single Dollar of American taxpayer money was given to Iran for savage mad devil Trump to have a case against Obama
Peter says
“savage mad devil Trump” hahahahahahaha. Ibrahim, Donald Trump is not a savage, mad, devil. He’s just a little bit naughty, that’s all.
Naildriver says
Obama would be guilty of treason upon a number of other counts even had this treason not occurred; and, it is astonishing our government and even most the Republicans have little motivation to move any such charges forward.
That’s because so many on both sides of the fence know it’s a slippery slope, that may well ensnare them as well. Our government is full of traitors.
They justify collusion, taking bribes, and, selling armaments, even secrets, to Islamist regimes and enemy Muslim entities, as in our ‘national interests’, or good economic practice etc.
They should be shot, hanged, — have their heads chopped off.
Islam is this country’s enemy.
Eric jones says
Obama is an Islamist and belongs in Gitmo.

Oops: pardon that “makes” error.
David says
So he’s giving everybody the middle finger in the photo and in the point of the story…Ahh Laa Hahahahaha
Indiana Tom says
Obama paid billions to a regime has used the money to finance jihad terrorists who want to see America’s destruction and are actively working against American interests. Treason is defined as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. But loyalty and devotion is aiding and abetting the cause. Obama ought to be charged with treason. Obama never committed treason, he is a very loyal Muslim and him cavorting with Louis Farrakhan and going to a Muslim School proves it.
Cheer Bear Girl says
Obama is a traitor and that is under the assumption he is an American. If he is not an American than he is a foreign plant. Obama should be tried for treason along with his co-conspirators.
Richard Courtemanche says
Obama probably knew or should have known of that possibility and should be charged for treason. Why do we have so many of those terrorist helpers getting away with it nowadays!
Dr David Hill says
The greatest liar of all time when it comes to US Presidents.
He lied to the Amercan more times than I have hot diners. One was when he told all the American people taht he was going for the Bankers that caused the crash and taht had impoverished 90% of the American people (and throughout the world). The week after in secretly released documents he told these bankers that he was not coming for them..he never told the American people that of course. Look just above and below his picture within the following blog to find out the facts.
