L.A. Times article: ...THE CASH CAME FROM AN ILLEGAL "JUDGEMENT FUND".
The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.
Republicans have decried the payments as ransom, a charge the Obama administration has rejected. On Tuesday, a group of Republican senators announced their support for legislation that would bar payments from the Judgment Fund to Iran until Tehran pays the nearly $55.6 billion that U.S. courts have judged that it owes to American victims of Iranian terrorism.
TIME TO BRING UP AND GET RID OF THE SO CALLED "JUDGEMENT FUND" perhaps??? We've been robbed...and I know, even more than most realize. OH...and look at that... ALLOWS THE PRESIDENT TO BYPASS CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.
"If My people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Obama, Trump, Bush and all other presidents (preside-dynt) are all puppets acting in a show.
Congress, The FBI, CIA and all other alphabet cults are all working for the same people that the puppet presidents do.

Maybe Iran will use it to kill Israelis? Diplomacy and dead Israelis... win win.
