Can we get a legitimate source for this please? Like a news source that we've heard of before? There are plenty of conservative news sources. Pick one.

Why does it matter about the ideology of the source? If you all haven't heard of a news source, does that automatically mean it is illegitimate? The New York Times, CNN, are both illegitimate left wing opinion rags, and everybody knows about them.

In any case,

You could have looked these up yourself. You KNOW it is a fact that Kerry did this, and he did it with Obama's approval.  Don't you remember the Trump Campaign bringing it up? Kerry actually tried to deny this.

And Kerry violated the LOGAN ACT with that payoff. Why isn't he in prison?

I don't see where InvestmentWatchblog is any less legitimate than THE VIEW and other rags the goose steppers here throw in our faces.

But now you have several sources, all saying the same thing. Obama, through Kerry, violated the LOGAN ACT.

And he did so to support a THEOCRACY, which is what Iran is.

Dude, you literally mixed up $150 MILLION with $150 BILLION. 
 

And the Logan Act prohibits “unauthorized” negotiations with foreign governments.  Kerry was US Secretary of State at the time. That’s as authorized as it gets, besides being President.

I was told to produce sources. I produce sources, which is more than you did.

Kerry paid Iran $150 million. IN CASH. If some source makes a mistake with a few zeros it doesn't automatically erase that $150 million he paid.

And that was in violation of the LOGAN ACT.

Meanwhile you goose steppers waterboarded Trump for three years (and spent a few MILLION hiring Robert Mueller for the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA hoax), so a certain amount of SHUT THE FCK UP is in order here.

No, it's about trust.  Unless you are hopelessly naive, you wouldn't trust a news source you have never heard of before. I don't care about ideology, but I do care about professionalism, reputation for objectivity in the standard principles of journalism.

 

Any story this big would have been covered by one of the reputable sources out there. Do you have a link or not? I really don't want to waste time on a big side conversation on the definition of journalism etc.

[Michael Hardner]

Ah, ok.  You cited some known sources.  From your link, nobody "gave" money to Iran to do anything, but seized assets were returned.

"Kerry said the payment was part of a deal under the then-U.S.-backed shah to buy $400 million worth of military equipment in 1970s. The equipment was never delivered because in 1979, his government was overthrown and revolutionaries took American hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The U.S. and Iran have been negotiating the Iranian claim to the money since 1981,"

See?  That was easy and now that misunderstanding is cleared up...
