Weekly Standard:
The Obama administration failed to inform a number of Democratic lawmakers that a $1.7 billion payment the U.S. sent to Iran earlier this year would be made wholly in cash, according to senators who spoke to THE WEEKLY STANDARD Wednesday.
The payment, which occurred in installments around the time that the Islamic Republic freed American prisoners in January, represents a financial settlement for a decades-old arms deal with Iran gone awry.
“I did not know about [the cash payment], not until after reading about it,” Michigan senator Gary Peters told TWS. “I had no prior knowledge of that.”
Peters said that there was an “understanding” that “some payments” would be made, but did not recall being told that the transaction would occur in cash.
right, so the demorats all knew-so what else is left out of this one. the piece of shit pres had no authority to pay this ransom. peters is a junior senator-a real suck up deomrat. have friends in MI who hate him,
obama counts on democrats to be stupid.
