      I’m starting to think that the conservative outrage over Obama returning Iran’s money to Iran wasn’t entirely sincere. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1121442523950534661 …

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Mr. E

      It says the bill went unpaid for years & WaPo still doesn't know if it was ever paid. I still find it appalling we signed any agreement to pay, but contra @brianbeutler what's reported here is not the same thing as actually paying pallets of cash.https://twitter.com/myster_E_23/status/1121456434409902080 …

      Also, the article is pretty clear that money didn't actually get sent out.

          FWIW, CNN is now reporting that the $2 million bill was never paid to North Korea. If they ask again, they should absolutely be told to pay the $501 million judgment to his parents first.

          Otoh, knowing Trump, just because he agreed to pay a bill, doesn't mean the bill's getting paid...

          Dan you aren’t this obtuse so you know ransoming him is different than removing restrictions on a countries on assets.

          Those restrictions were longstanding & justified, & the bottom line is, Iran got the money. (Which as of now, we don't know if NK did).

          North Korea is gonna learn the lesson every small time contractor in New Jersey had to learn when working with Trump. Cash on the barrellhead because he doesn't pay invoices.

          I understand that rationale, especially since the guy was near death and his parents wanted him back. But you still send the unprintable message if you're trying to set the tone for more substantial negotiations to come.

          What is appalling about signing a receipt that you never plan to pay to bring a dying man home?
