Quid Quo, Bro

August 13, 2016 – 12:48 pm

We’re still on summer break for a few more weeks, and I’ve been paying little attention to the news. One thing that did catch my eye, though, was the emerging story of the Obama administration’s $400-million ransom payment to Iran a while back — paid in a great pile of foreign currency, and brought in on an unmarked airplane. (Tehran waited for it to arrive before releasing the hostages.)

I figured that the legal scholar Andrew McCarthy would have something to say about this fishy-sounding payoff, and about Mr. Obama’s tortuous explanation of how there was of course nothing to see here, folks. And sure enough, he published an analysis back on August 6th. Read it here.

    Far simpler explanation than Mr. McCarthy would have us think.

    Obama couldn’t connect to Dennis Hastert’s phone number and Hillary’s bagman was double parked at 200 West Street 10282.

    Quick note here. First I enjoy your writing tremendously. Second. The NRO link has a full page browser hijack ad that caused Firefox to crash.

    A cautionary tale or, something else?
