State Department Spokesperson Matt Miller had a difficult time Tuesday afternoon answering questions about the Biden administration's latest move to release $6 billion to the Iranian terrorist regime in exchange for the release of five Americans.
Miller attempted to justify the money influx for "humanitarian purposes" and said the administration's policy of not paying cash for ransom has not changed.
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ Q: What if you find out Iran is using the $6 billion to fund Russia's war in Ukraine and/or other terrorism?
Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller: "I don't wanna try to get into hypotheticals."

Because these plausible, easily foreseeable eventualities would be EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING to the Biden administration - and Democrats, in general. So, Biden & Co. want to tap their ruby slippers three times and wish it away.
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says the Biden administration's $6 billion giveaway to Iran — the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism — in a prisoner swap on the anniversary of 9/11 wasn't a "ransom."

RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ REPORTER: "You are unblocking [$6 billion for Iran], basically"
STATE: "To give something, it must be something that's yours"
REPORTER: "If you didn't grant the waivers, then they wouldn't get the money"
STATE: "I'm not disagreeing with that."
REPORTER: "You had the same argument back in 2016, so ..."
STATE: "History repeats itself."[/i]

Yeah, it's a ransom - to terrorists.
Meanwhile over at the White House, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby is attempting the same.

We already have it on good authority that it is, John, so ...
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ John Kirby insists that the Biden administration is "holding Iran accountable."
The administration just announced a $6 billion giveaway to the largest state sponsor of terrorism in a prisoner swap on the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
You're holding Iran accountable?!
