Feinstein urges Trump to reverse plan to block Iran request for $5B in IMF aid
2020-04-12
[FOXNEWS] Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
, D-Calif., has urged President Trump to reverse a reported plan to block an Iranian request to the IMF for $5 billion in aid to fight the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
crisis -- saying it is in the U.S. national interest to accede to the request.

"I am disappointed to see reports that your administration intends to block Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
from receiving $5 billion in humanitarian aid from the IMF to combat the coronavirus pandemic," Feinstein wrote in a letter dated Thursday to President Trump. "Providing these funds to Iran would help it respond more effectively to the disease and mitigate the risk of further destabilization in the region."

The administration plans to block the request for an emergency loan, amid concerns that the anti-American regime still has billion-dollar accounts available to it, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Senior officials told the Journal that the loan would allow Tehran to divert the money to its economy -- which has been stunted by the sanctions imposed as part of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign -- or to finance hard boy bully boy groups in the Middle East.

Iranian "officials have a long history of diverting funds allocated for humanitarian goods into their own pockets and to their terrorist proxies," one of the administration officials told the outlet.

#18  Be better to look at her close relative's swiss bank account (like her husband's).

$5B would kill a lot of Americans. But then she would see that as a bonus....

#17  Funny, they keep turning down actual medical aid and keep asking for money. Who'd a thought?

#16  Her friends and employer, ChiComs are tight with Iran. Why don't they toss em $5B?

#15  That might be easier now than ever as the Swiss don't hide bank accounts like they used to.

Surely our politicians meet all FinCEN reporting requirements....

#14   I'd really like a look at her numbered Swiss accounts.

As good a place to look as any, not just for Feinstein but all Democrats and some Republicans too, for an explanation for the way they behave. Along with deposits from Iran, I suspect you would find deposits from Mexico and China.

#13  "Us she recommending more pallets loaded with cash flown in to Iran again?"

I've heard that was money the US froze after Iran took our people hostage. They were just getting back what was theirs.

No matter. That old bag Feinstein just needs to STFU and worry about whom she hires as a chauffeur next time.

#12  ^ this. She has it EXACTLY backward.
Absurd. Incompetent. Ludicrous virtue-signaling.

Actually, just the opposite is found to be true. Criminal activity and terrorism appear to be taking a sabbatical.

Probably linked to Zarif's Swiss accounts, a la the Kerry family's accounts. Have a look at Liechtenstein while you're at it.
