The Obama administration has admitted paying $1.7billion to Iran entirely in cash to settle a decades-old aborted arms deal.

The payments were made on January 22 and February 5, officials said, weeks after the release of four American prisoners detained in Tehran.

Officials previously admitted flying $400million in pallets of Euros, Swiss francs and other currency to Iran on January 17, the same day the prisoners were released.

If this country allows a lawless chief to payoff a terrorist group like Iran with unsupervised slush funds, we might as well dissolve Congress as it serves no purpose whatsoever to represent Americans.

Paul Ryan is a disgusting liberal who chooses to denounce the Constitution every time an infraction like this occurs that he avoids addressing.  Even very liberal Speakers like Tip O'Neill would have loudly moved to stop this unpatriotic act.
