Obviously sharper than you since I recognized this "payment" for what it was right out the gate. I'm also big enough to freely admit when I am wrong.
Not sure what you want me to rebut. I responded to a post you made quoting me but I'll go back to the first exchange where you were wrong, to begin with. Again, if you can't see that THERE WAS money and it was given in exchange for the release of American hostages, don't really see the point in trying to argue with you.
Look dipshit, your entire argument boils down to no one in the employ of the administration has acutally said the phrase 'we paid ransom'. Which is the only thing left to be said. No wonder you don't think Clinton ever does anything wrong. You're waiting for a confession from Bill and Hill. Hold your breath for that. No seriously, please hold your breath until that happens.
Yep, I am pretty sure if you have someone define ransom to you it would include the word 'leverage' at some point.
Even if they didn't. That's like saying you broke a guy's arm but it wasn't painful since he never said it was painful. He only moaned, groaned, winced and cried but never SAID, "It's painful." He said it hurt but not painful. If someone tells you it's raining hard outside, do they need to explicitly say the road is wet?
So today we hear a report that says the US has indeed 'wired' money to Iran twice in the past 14 months. So much for the President back in August declaring we had no banking relation with Iran and thus the need to ship all that cash on that ransom plane. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/us-iran-payments-wire-transfer-228324 #thatlyingpresidentthough
Isn't that the very definition of a ransom? I've only seen it in movies, but it seems that's what it was.
