Attorney General Lynch ‘Pleads Fifth’ on Secret Iran ‘Ransom’ Payments. “Barred.” Barring your co-conspirators from testifying is a great way to cover your ass Obama.
In an Oct. 24 response, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded on Lynch’s behalf, refusing to answer the questions and informing the lawmakers that they are barred from publicly disclosing any details about the cash payment, which was bound up in a ransom deal aimed at freeing several American hostages from Iran.
The response from the attorney general’s office is “unacceptable” and provides evidence that Lynch has chosen to “essentially plead the fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries regarding [her] role in providing cash to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism,” Rubio and Pompeo wrote on Friday in a follow-up letter to Lynch, according to a copy obtained by the Free Beacon.

If she actually showed them where the money went, they'd find out that some of it got "redistributed" back to the DNC's coffers.
The best way to make a pig squeal is to squeeze it. In this case, squeeze the cow and her staff by cutting off the funds to the DoJ. No money, no work answer the questions with correct and forthright information, and the money is back on. Pull some more barry bull shit and the money is gone until further co-operation. No 5th Amendment.!!!!!
Most transparent admin ever.
It makes no sense that details of a treaty between the U.S. and another country should be secret. This is not intelligence information, this is merely information which Obama feels would embarrass him. Classifying information to keep the public from knowing what you did should be a criminal offense. This crap right here is why I think Assange and Snowden are heroes. Too much is secret. We used to pride ourselves on being an open society, but we've become ultra-secret about everything and it's harming our republic.
If our congresscritters had any balls, they would go into that super secret room and read that treaty, remember as much of it as they can, and then come out and hold a press conference where they told the American public exactly what's in it. They should DARE Obama to arrest them.
Until droopy eyes became the majority leader in the Senate, treaties had to be approved by the US Senate. Now a days, quagmire just says its approved and droopy eyes goes along.
Rubio and friends ought to be asking her where the next multi-bilion dollar ransom payment to Iran is going to come from.
and how much of that ransom is being kicked back to US pols.
