Glad this thread was bumped... it turned out to be true.
No, it did not. What planet do you get your news from, anyway?
Well it really did. Funding a terrorist state with cold hard cash secretly flown in the dead of night on an unmarked plane. Of course Iran will not fund ISIS, just their own terrorist groups who invariably end up joining ISIS.

This administration is not funding Iran, it is returning Iranian assets that were frozen when they took American diplomats hostage years ago. Those hostages were released after President Reagan promised to provide them with arms, incidentally. There was nothing secret about the return of the assets, it was agreed to months ago as part of the reconciliation involved in the nuclear arms treaty. You may not approve of the treaty, but there was nothing illegal about it. (Sorry if it happens to weaken Russia's hand in the region.)
You are correct about one thing; Iran will not fund ISIS, because Iran is fighting ISIS. They are also fighting the non-Islamist groups who are opposed to Assad's minority government... those are the groups the United States have been secretly funding through other Muslim states... and sadly, yes, they sometimes discover Allah and join up with ISIS. This is why it is a bad policy, not a crime.

he way it was paid is very important for a whole host of reasons you can read there and none of it was reported previously.
Does it mention that the US and Iran do not have reciprocal banking arrangements? Or is that too plausible?

You were just plain wrong about Iran funding ISIS. In fact, maybe the US has the ultimate plan of forming an alliance with Iran and Israel against the Sunni Islamist states and non-state actors.

There are indeed reports of Iran using ISIS (through Hamas) to fight in certain areas of the Middle East.
Link, please.

Start with these two I have on file. Things are not as simplistic as you might read in the watered down MSM.

Reading them tells you why it is insane for Obama to be sending untraceable cash to Iran.

So what happened with the original Congressional Investigation described at the top of this thread? Did the spineless Republican majority let it die on the vine, like they did Hillary's Perjury investigation?
What's "stunning" is their lack of action against President Obama and/or Hillary Clinton, after announcing that they're hopping mad and will hold formal investigations and hearings.

Congress approves all arms sales to foreign powers, ergo they would be prosecuting themselves. They seem to have forgotten that while playing to the groundlings.
Congress did not approve what Obama has done. They only approved the payment, not the method that has led to untraceable cash being handed over at a drop point. They also did not approve a cash for hostages deal.

Nice try, but it was not a cash for hostages deal: Iranian hardliners are known to create embarrassing situations to discourage easing relations between Iran and the US.

If it was not then Obama should come clean about the facts. As it stands the timing points to a cash for hostages deal.
If Obama has some evidence to refute that then he should provide it.

I love your circular reasoning. What sort of evidence would you consider acceptable? A note from Khameni?
