Yeah, Frank was just trolling. I guess Biden’s been getting


Too many compliments about having just completed the best week of his presidency, so Frank felt the need to troll.

I do understand the difficulty of the political optics here. Reportedly, so far, the funds were only transferred from one frozen account the Iranians can’t control to another. Not used yet. But it is still possible that Iranian bookkeepers felt they could release funds needed for food and meds and such, since they’d now have this new pool available for those purposes. Fungibility and all - I think this criticism has political legs.

Big picture, hard to see how this 6 bil moved the needle enough to be the fulcrum for the Hamas attacks, meaning that the attacks wouldn’t have happened otherwise. But that won’t stop the petty gotcha brigade, even during a time of crisis like this. Another norm shattered by Trumpistan.
