      I mean, it’s Iran’s money anyway but I doubt we’re allowing the withdrawal to get back some frat boys who spent Spring Break in Tehran and got rowdy outside a club. (Maybe one Jack Ryan and 4 frat boys thrown in. But it’s probably more like 4 spies and one sympathetic person for the press release to highlight.)

        If she said there would be a hard landing the stock market would crash. She doesn’t have a choice. Its like how they report jobs numbers and revise them lower at a later date.
