The Biden administration continues to defend its $6 billion deal with Iran even though less than a month after the White House gave final approval Hamas staged massive terrorist attacks in Israel:
Biden administration officials are taking to the airwaves to defend a transfer of frozen assets to Iran, as the administration’s critics seek to draw a connection between an unprecedented surprise attack against Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the terms of a prisoner swap with Iran announced last month.
Since Hamas fighters launched their assault against Israel on Saturday, senior Biden administration officials have tried to throw water on reports that Iran was directly tied to the attacks and rebut allegations that the Biden administration enabled them by unfreezing $6 billion dollars’ worth of frozen Iranian assets as part of an agreement to release six American citizens from Iranian custody.
Today John Kirby was asked about to what degree Iran was involved, and his spin sure sounds familiar:
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Kirby: We obviously recognize there is broad complicity with the Iranians, but we haven't see "any specific evidence they were involved in the training or planning."
Good grief, Kirby ... you were a naval officer for goodness sake! Do you always go through life with your eyes this tightly closed?
Where have we heard this kind of thing before? Here's what Kirby added:
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Kirby tying himself in knots trying to define what a "direct" link to Iran means regarding Hamas' murderous attack on Israel and Americans
"We haven't seen anything specifically that they cut checks."
Come. On.
Ah, I see ... you haven't seen any canceled checks drawn on an Iranian bank and deposited by Hamas that had "For the attack on Israel" written on the memo line, eh? Kirby, I know you are not this ridiculously clueless, so ... you're just a pathetic liar.
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ John Kirby explains why the Biden administration is convinced that there's no "direct link" between Hamas' terrorism and Iran.

Heh heh heh heh heh ... look at Kirby hemming and hawing uncomfortably. He knows no one is believing his bullsh!t ... 'cuz he doesn't even believe his own bullsh!t.
Does that approach sound familiar? It's got that same "no evidence" ring to it they use to defend Biden because the checks weren't made out to Joe with "for bribes" written in the memo section.
@amuse (@amuse) ~ Depends on your definition of 'direct'.
Yeah ...
Burt Macklin (@BurtMaclin_FBI) ~ The Biden administration has tried to appease Iran from the start and it's backfiring on them in realtime.
eye95 (@eye95) ~ That administration is using the same kind of reasoning to say that we cannot prove that @JoeBiden is corrupt.
At least they're recycling.
