[copy/paste] from Qresearch
i am a few weeks into my research on the $1.7 billion in 2016 to Iran…its a clusterfuck.
they used so many backwater channels to avoid detection on this its ridiculous.
Here is the short and sweet:
This is the testimony of the Treasury Department on the money transfers ($400 million and $1.3 billion)

They manuvered the cash through a fucking Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund. Its a 34 page pdf.

Here is what I am getting at, this is the play the Obama fucks used to authorize the initial $400 million payment.
Treasury’s Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations, at 31 C.F.R. 560.510, explicitly authorize “[a]ll transactions
necessary to payments pursuant to settlement agreements entered into by the United States Government” in a legal proceeding
in which the United States is a party, such as settlements of claims before the Tribunal.
I read in another article, I cant find the sauce (fuck sorry) that the above sanctions reg they used, is in direct contrast
to the same regulation but section 560.204 (pic related). 560.204 was ammended by good ol'Bill Clinton himself which is what fucked
Obama here.
§ 560.204 Prohibited exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply of goods, technology, or services to Iran.
Except as otherwise authorized pursuant to this part, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted
prior to May 7, 1995, the exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a United
States person, wherever located, of any goods, technology, or services to Iran or the Government of Iran is prohibited, including the
exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply of any goods, technology, or services to a person in a third country undertaken with
knowledge or reason to know that:
(a) Such goods, technology, or services are intended specifically for supply, transshipment, or reexportation, directly or indirectly,
to Iran or the Government of Iran; or
(b) Such goods, technology, or services are intended specifically for use in the production of, for commingling with, or for
incorporation into goods, technology, or services to be directly or indirectly supplied, transshipped, or reexported exclusively or
predominantly to Iran or the Government of Iran.
The legal mumbojumbo is making my eyes crossed but this is what we were supposed to find. Am i on the money here?
Bill Clinton ammended the original statute which circumvents the one Obummer tried to play?
