    Read up on Iran Contra. Reagan gave them arms. Which was a bribe. To get hostages from Lebanon.

    He admitted it. After he tried to keep it a secret but was caught.

    The October surprise was an entirely different incident.

    No, that administration didn't. They sold them arms. Still bad (and a whole separate foreign policy discussion...just ask Hillary and her involvement with folks like Pinchuk and Ericcson AB and now Lefarge who was working with ISIS), but that is still a BIG, BIG difference from sending pallets of unmarked currency over for hostages.

    Not only bad, but illegal. When Carter tried to deal spare parts for Embassy hostages in 1980, it was legal. By the time Reagan's people did it, Congress had passed legislation making it illegal.

    I see nothing illegal in the WSJ report

    What law again was passed by Congress authorizing tax dollars being cashed out and sent to Iran in exchange for hostages? For all the Liberals worried about what Trump would do to harm the Constitution and separation of Powers they somehow get amnesia over what is actually happening.

    You are bad at this. Trump is terrible on so many levels. But keep sucking his dick, his balls on your chin are a good look on you.

    PS paying off foreign governments is something pretty much every president has done. It's part of the job.

    Speed limit IQ.

    None of this discussion is about Trump...it's about the actual event of Obama paying Iran for hostages, which is not something every President does. And yet you are still too stupid to realize this and ramble on about Trump. I guess we shouldn't expect more.

    You fucking brought up Trump. Here was your quote I was responding to.

    You clearly got amnesia at what you posted.

    News will be out that Hillary was running guns out of Benghazi which is why Stevens was still there

    Gun running was the cool thing to do when Bush was president. Now you hate gun running.
    Fuck off
