First there was a payment, but it had nothing to do with the hostages. Then it did have to do the hostages, but it wasn\u2019t a ransom. Then the president said we couldn\u2019t have wired the money, but all now know it turns out we could have wired the money. The administration is not just circumventing the parameters of the agreement\u2014it is pushing legal and ethical boundaries to appease the regime.\u201d\n\u00a0\n \n\t.@HouseForeign Affairs Comm compiled 5 false claims the Obama Admin made re: Iran cash payments.
