H.R.3884 - 94th Congress (1975-1976): National Emergencies Act

And what "trillions" did Obama "spend" on Iran?
Obama gave billions to Iran.
He spent trillions on Obamacare, loans to foreign banks, Quantitative Easing.....you name it.
He also supplied terrorists like Hamas and al Qaeda with weapons.

The Obama administration secretly sought to give Iran access to the US financial system
Too fucking rightarded. :cuckoo:

The money to Iran was Iran's money we had frozen.

Money spent on ObamaCare was appropriated by the Congress in accordance with the Constitution.

Regarding foreign bank loans, you should be more specific.

Quantitative easing was an act by the Federal Reserve, not Obama.
The Federal Reserve System is organized with a government agency at the top (the Board of Governors), and branches beneath them that resemble private corporations. The Board of Governors are all appointed for 14-year terms by the president.

What is it about the Federal Reserve you do not think a greedy, sitting President (who has a modest savings account and net worth when he enters his presidency and walks out with a $10,000,000.00 net worth) cannot influence? It hardly behooves you to call anyone else "f-word-" retarded. :rolleyes:
Keep those blinders close to ya!
LOL

Dumbfuck...

- The president is not the Federal Reserve.

- Quantitative easing began while Bush was president.

- And it started under the Fed chairman who was first nominated by Bush.

It never ceases to amaze me just how rightarded you cons can be. You gotta be a special kind of stupid to say Obama gave us quantitative easing. :cuckoo:
Hmm, your reading comprehension is waning critically. But you do put words in other people's mouth to make your fellow idiots on the left think they did. I said influence not is. OH, wait I made it too hard! Both "influence" and "is" start with an "I." I should have known that would confuse you, I just can't think of all the ways you get confused, and poor lad, so often confused, too. :crying:
LOLOL

What part of, 'quantitative easing starter under Bush', don't you understand? :cuckoo:
 
That wasn't tax payer money appropriated by Congress.

Dayum, you rightards are dumber than shit. :eusa_doh:
Yes, it was US government money - which means in America the taxpayers own it, Comrade.
Nonsense. It was mostly money that had been used to purchase oil from Iran.
Obama took it from the Treasury.

Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.

The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system."

Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.

It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.

That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.

It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.

OK, you say, $5.7 billion. What is that, when big economies like the U.S., Britain, Germany and France have economies trillions of dollars in size?

Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it.

Our own State Department characterizes Iran as the No. 1 terrorist-supporting state on Earth. Every dollar it gets from us has an ultimate use that is highly questionable, which is the reason why the U.S. imposed sanctions in the first place.

Terrorist Funding
Washington Times national security correspondent Bill Gertz in February of this year reported that some of the $1.7 billion that the Obama administration officially handed over to the Iranians had ended up in the hands of terrorist groups. Those terrorist groups included Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and Iran's own Quds Force, the dirty tricks and terror branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

No one knows how much of the $5.7 billion that Obama allowed Iran to access also went to terrorist activities. Or, for that matter, how much went to further research activity on Iran's nuclear bomb project. That awaits a later investigation.

But it's important to note that the Iran nuclear deal also removed some $100 billion in sanctions on Iran. This made Iran once again a big player in the Mideast. It's almost certain that a good piece of that went to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, which by some accounts control as much as 40% of Iran's economy.

It's clear from Obama administration actions, under both his Secretaries of State, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, that the Obama White House despised Israel and did all they could to undermine its security. How else can you explain the enabling of a terrorist-supporting regime?

The Obama administration failed to enforce its own "red line" in Syria on chemical weapons. By doing so, it in effect invited both Russia and Iran into that disintegrating country. Iranian troops today are within striking distance of our one true ally in the region, Israel.

Mideast Disintegration
The disintegration of Libya, the collapse of Egypt, and Turkey's embrace of radical Islam, all took place under Obama's watch. None of them were in the U.S.' interest.

The Mideast has been a mess for decades, but things got markedly worse under Obama. A big reason is the Iran nuclear deal didn't make anyone in the Mideast, Europe or U.S. safer. But it did empower the terrorist-supporting mullahs in Tehran.

The mullahs are now funding terrorism on Israel's border. They're biding their time until they can get another anti-Israel president in the White House. Mullahs with a nuclear weapon will be a nightmare. President Trump has a big job still ahead of him, but in his first year and a half in office he has undone much of Obama's damage.

... your own post, ya moron, showed the assets were frozen in an Omani bank. Our money is not held frozen in Omani banks. Did you understand any of this? The money did not come from the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Treasury was needed to convert the assets from rials to dollars to euros.
How many other terrorists did Obama pay money to?
Spits the idiot who thinks that was U.S. tax payer money. :cuckoo:

No, fucking moron, he did not "give them" $150 billion. He released their own money to them as part of the anti-nuclear proliferation deal made with them.

So maybe you can explain how he was able to send $400 million in US Dollars. Was that some of this magic money too?

Ohhhhhh I get it....he gave only $400 million to them and freed up another $50 billion in frozen cash to spend on their nuke programs and their terrorist groups. Obama Didn't Give Iran '150 Billion in Cash' - FactCheck.org

160803130859-iran-payment-state-department-response-labott-lv-00002808-large-tease.jpg


Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.

The part that the meme gets right, though, is that the deal didn’t get congressional approval. The Obama administration had maintained that the agreement wasn’t a treaty, which would have required approval by the Senate. Republicans did try to block the deal, but they weren’t able to get enough support to pass the legislation in the Senate.

However, the U.S. is now no longer part of the deal. Trump pulled out in May 2018.​

Nothing wrong here. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

six countries and the European Union, gave Iran access to its own frozen assets.

The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.


the FACTS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Conservatives are too ignorant to understand. They only know the fake news their handlers feed them.
 
Well, I guess we'll find out in a bit.
Course everyone on the left claimed Trump was lying about this and lying about that......and months later we find out everything he said was true.
Trump said he was being spied on.
We find out he was.
Comey claims it's not spying......they were just secretly watching him.
The guilty parties are now screaming that investigating them is horrible and terrible and scary.
Well not for us.

Um, okay... so you think it's fine that Trump and the people around him were being helped by the Russians as long as no one caught them doing it?

Really?
That's the point. Hillary and Obama made up a story about a video causing the attack on our consulate in Benghazi. Turns out that was just bullshit. Democrats claim that there is no emergency at our Southern border. Now they claim they never said it wasn't an emergency. Jussie Smollett claimed that he was attacked by two Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats....and turns out he paid a couple of homosexual workout buddies to do it. Now we're finding out that the same people who tried to cover up Benghazi, and faked the Hillary email investigation created this fake Russian Collusion investigation. Yet you still believe in Unicorns.
They did not make up any such "story." That was intel which came from the CIA.

All these years later and you're still calling the Republican-led investigations about Benghazi a sham.

That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.

It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016.

... your own post, ya moron, showed the assets were frozen in an Omani bank. Our money is not held frozen in Omani banks. Did you understand any of this? The money did not come from the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Treasury was needed to convert the assets from rials to dollars to euros.
So maybe you can explain how he was able to send $400 million in US Dollars. Was that some of this magic money too?

Ohhhhhh I get it....he gave only $400 million to them and freed up another $50 billion in frozen cash to spend on their nuke programs and their terrorist groups. Obama Didn't Give Iran '150 Billion in Cash' - FactCheck.org

Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.

The part that the meme gets right, though, is that the deal didn’t get congressional approval. The Obama administration had maintained that the agreement wasn’t a treaty, which would have required approval by the Senate. Republicans did try to block the deal, but they weren’t able to get enough support to pass the legislation in the Senate.

However, the U.S. is now no longer part of the deal. Trump pulled out in May 2018.​

Nothing wrong here. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

six countries and the European Union, gave Iran access to its own frozen assets.

The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.


the FACTS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Conservatives are too ignorant to understand. They only know the fake news their handlers feed them.
President has access to spend frozen assets?

So why are you whining about Trump using defense Department funds for defensive purposes?
 
There you go, talking outta yer ass again.

Yeah......and you also probably said Obama never spied on Trump.
President Obama never spied on tRump.

Just in case you kissed it the first 1,000 times or so.
That's not what the rest of the world says.
They're declassifying all of the documents so they can find out who gave the order (Obama)

Yes, the rest of the world says the same thing. The ONLY people who say otherwise are Donald Trump and people too stupid to know he's lying.
Well, I guess we'll find out in due time.
Course everyone on the left claimed Trump was lying about this and lying about that......and months later we find out everything he said was true.
Trump said he was being spied on.
We find out he was.
Comey claims it's not spying......they were just secretly watching him.
The guilty parties are now screaming that investigating them is horrible and terrible and scary.
Well not for us.
We've been waiting for over 2 years to get back at these fakes.
They've been fomenting sedition since Trump won the election, turning idiots into hate-filled maniacs. Hoping they'll be stupid enough to believe any cock & bull story they come up with about Trump.
Now they're under the microscope.....and they're not handling it well.

We have not. There is no proof he was spied on. Barr is hardly a reliable source and Wray says he has seen no evidence of spying. No one has been pushing sedition. This is fake news made up by Trump supporters. Trump supporters are the hate filled maniacs. I don't see any evidence they are not handling it well. Just more fake news by Trump supporters.

Obama took it from the Treasury.

Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.

The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system."

Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system. The deal was clear, unequivocal.

It was also a lie. Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.

That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros.

It required a special license by the U.S. Treasury, which was granted in February of 2016. But it was never disclosed, either to Congress or the American people.

OK, you say, $5.7 billion. What is that, when big economies like the U.S., Britain, Germany and France have economies trillions of dollars in size?

Apart from the lie, which is bad enough for an administration that claimed repeatedly to be "scandal-free," this money did not have innocuous uses. Far from it.

Our own State Department characterizes Iran as the No. 1 terrorist-supporting state on Earth. Every dollar it gets from us has an ultimate use that is highly questionable, which is the reason why the U.S. imposed sanctions in the first place.

Terrorist Funding
Washington Times national security correspondent Bill Gertz in February of this year reported that some of the $1.7 billion that the Obama administration officially handed over to the Iranians had ended up in the hands of terrorist groups. Those terrorist groups included Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and Iran's own Quds Force, the dirty tricks and terror branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

No one knows how much of the $5.7 billion that Obama allowed Iran to access also went to terrorist activities. Or, for that matter, how much went to further research activity on Iran's nuclear bomb project. That awaits a later investigation.

But it's important to note that the Iran nuclear deal also removed some $100 billion in sanctions on Iran. This made Iran once again a big player in the Mideast. It's almost certain that a good piece of that went to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, which by some accounts control as much as 40% of Iran's economy.

It's clear from Obama administration actions, under both his Secretaries of State, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, that the Obama White House despised Israel and did all they could to undermine its security. How else can you explain the enabling of a terrorist-supporting regime?

The Obama administration failed to enforce its own "red line" in Syria on chemical weapons. By doing so, it in effect invited both Russia and Iran into that disintegrating country. Iranian troops today are within striking distance of our one true ally in the region, Israel.

Mideast Disintegration
The disintegration of Libya, the collapse of Egypt, and Turkey's embrace of radical Islam, all took place under Obama's watch. None of them were in the U.S.' interest.

The Mideast has been a mess for decades, but things got markedly worse under Obama. A big reason is the Iran nuclear deal didn't make anyone in the Mideast, Europe or U.S. safer. But it did empower the terrorist-supporting mullahs in Tehran.

The mullahs are now funding terrorism on Israel's border. They're biding their time until they can get another anti-Israel president in the White House. Mullahs with a nuclear weapon will be a nightmare. President Trump has a big job still ahead of him, but in his first year and a half in office he has undone much of Obama's damage.

No, he doesn't. :cuckoo:

The Constitution grants the Congress, not the president, to "maintain" the military. Congress decides how tax dollars are spent, not the president. All the president can do is approve or disapprove of how Congress allocates funds.
