President Obama has admitted to committing felonies under US law and that's okay. Yes, there is a stink over the $400 million to Iran but everyone is pursuing the ransom angle. What about the funding terrorism angle? The US State Department still lists Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. The absence of a financial relationship between the US and Iran based on our desire not to fund terrorism. Obama himself points out that the cash was necessary because a banking relationship with Iran is illegal. Yes, that also includes cash! Obama admits that we had to use cash to bypass US Law. It is a given that some of that cash will fund terrorist operations, which is the reason we don't want to funnel money to Iran.
Of course, the DOJ - which was opposed to the cash payment - will not indict the administration. The spineless Congress will not seek to impeach anyone. Therefore, the law is meaningless. If it can be so cavalierly ignored, it ceases to be law. As I have mentioned repeatedly, the rule of law is dead. Nixon is looking good by comparison.
