Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Could Trump have been right? Propaganda film suggests Iran DID videotape cash-drop plane and photograph shipment of cash during January prisoner swap

2016-08-06

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] February documentary that aired on Iranian state-run TV shows nighttime flight, pallet of cash matching prisoner-swap scenario reported this week

Donald Trump claimed three times this week that he had seen similar footage and that Iran had filmed the cash transfer to embarrass America

He walked back that claim Friday morning, saying he had only seen archival footage of a different plane delivering hostages safely to Geneva

He may have been right without knowing it: Propaganda broadcast shows the images and boasts the deal was great for Iran but terrible for the U.S.

#3 Further why was it in Euros and Swiss Francs...to make it hard to trace and harder to use to identify recipients

Also skirted sanctions.

#1 It was a ransom and it was in cash.

Further why was it in Euros and Swiss Francs...to make it hard to trace and harder to use to identify recipients.

Aha, so the empty suit in the White House is now funding Hezbollah and Al Quds?

If it were $USD we could track it pretty easily but I don't think we could record the serial number on all of these bills in such a short period of time.

And why are we just finding out about this? It happened in January?? The news makes it sound like it was last week...convenient way of keeping the bad news out of the way until after the DNC.
