<p><strong><span>Obama Continues To Lie About His Hostage Ransom Scam But Now There Is A Smoking Gun (VIDEO)</span></strong></p>


<p>This was a ransom of hostages that set the going price for an American anywhere in the world at $100 million. Obama, through his craven behavior, has just turned every American in the Third World into a cash machine for anyone with enough ambition to take them hostage.</p>

<p>Ironically, back in the 1980s it was the Democrats who were appalled that Ronald Reagan did something very similar to try to free US citizens held hostage by the Iranian funded, mentored, and led Lebanese Hezbollah. It nearly resulted in his impeachment.</p>

<p>Charles Krauthammer reacted to a new <em>Wall Street Journal</em> report that the Justice Department objected to the Obama Administration sending $400 million in non-U.S. currency just hours before Iran released four imprisoned Americans. The DOJ was overruled by the State Department, according to the report.</p>

<p>Krauthammer said "of course the Justice Department objected; it was illegal."</p>
<p>He said that not only was the payment bad optics and a quid pro quo for the release of the Americans, but it skirted statute against dealing with Iran in U.S. dollars.</p>

<p>"They had to print the money here, ship it over to Switzerland, turn it into Swiss francs and Euros and ship it over to Iran," he said.</p>
<p>"If a private company had done this, this is called money laundering. The CEO would be in jail right now."</p>
