++Hillary Clinton literally had nothing to do with the $400 million transaction. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
++Donald Trump did not see a video of a pallet of $400 million going to Iran. There is no video. But he has insisted seeing it three times.
++The $400 million had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the Iran nuclear deal.
++The $400 million was not ransom for the captive American servicemen returned to the United States at the same time.
++The $400 million was the principal the US agreed to for a dispute with Iran since 1979. The Court at the Hague was supposed to render a judgment against the United States for not paying the disputed monies. The United States settled because they feared a judgment several times the settlement.
++These events happened after Hillary Clinton left the Obama administration. The negotiations had been going on decades before and the agreement was finally reached last year.
++President Obama told the American public in January what this payment was about. Iran had purchased $100s of millions of military equipment under the Shah but we never delivered because of the revolution. This issue was subject of the Iran-United States Arbitration Commission, which settled all private claims between the two countries.
++We still are to pay about $1.5 billion in interest.
++TRUMP calls for an investigation into this payment. Now Republicans in the Senate want to use it as an election year issue. I hope this doesn't end up like Benghazi, spending millions of taxpayer funds for a predictable outcome.
++But no Hillary really didn't have anything to do with it.
