I got bored and checked. You are shameful, and need to at least Google it, then look for the ORIGINAL source/story.

considering that you are always wrong about everything, all the time, without fail, no matter what, i look forward to seeing how this abortion of a thread devolves into a laugh-a-thon at your expense.

Cover-up? Shit they announced this last January.
Mr. Obama also announced the resolution of another argument between Tehran and Washington that dates to the Iranian revolution, this one over $400 million in payments for military equipment that the United States sold to the shah of Iran and never delivered when he was overthrown. The Iranians got their money back, with $1.3 billion in interest that had accumulated over 37 years.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest talking about this 8 months ago.
MR. EARNEST: Jon, this is actually the result of a long-running claims process that had been at The Hague. In 1979, there was obviously an Iranian revolution that abruptly severed relations between our two countries. And prior to that revolution, the U.S. government had entered into an agreement with the then-Iranian government to transfer about $400 million in military equipment to the Iranian government. Once the revolution took place, obviously that equipment was not transferred, but we also didn’t return Iran’s money either.... And for more than 30 years now, the Iranians have been using this claims process at The Hague to try to recover that $400 million
Q: Okay, but as I understand it, the Department of State announced this payment of $1.7 billion to the government of Iran just before the plane carrying the freed Americans landed in Geneva. You’re really telling me that this is an absolute coincidence that this payment just happened to coincide with the precise moment when the American prisoners were flying to freedom?
MR. EARNEST: Jon, I think we’ve made pretty clear that this is not a coincidence. The fact is, these kinds of diplomatic opportunities—
Q: ecause Paul Ryan has suggested this was a ransom payment. You saw his statement.
MR. EARNEST: He’s wrong about that.

Why the need for subterfuge? Call this what it is. Republicans see this as an opportunity to to scare voters into believing President Obama and Hillary Clinton are weak on terrorism.

Joshua Earnest also admits that we know Iran is going to use some of this money to help support the terrorist groups they support, which makes perfect sense why we would want to make it paper currency so that those pesky spying agencies can't follow the trail as it gets to those terrorist groups.

No matter what he says about being Christian. He's actually muslim. We have family friends in the FBI on his and Michelle's security detail. They've seen obama praying on the lawn. Not a single one of them will take a bullet for obama. If someone shoots at him they will all jump out of the way. Most of the white house staff and security detail hate the Obama's

$400m as part of a $1.7t deal made a decade earlier, and because of sanctions have not paid out. And now, quite timely, paying a portion of the settled deal at the same time Iran releases hostages. Not quid pro quo, but timely.
