"The Congress didn't know." "They were doing ransom, they didn't want anyone to know and they had to go around the law and the Congress," Krauthammer added. Syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer said Thursday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that the way the United States paid Iran cash in the middle of the night, clandestinely, was "the way it's done by gangsters." President Obama, who spoke at the Pentagon Thursday, said that because the U.S. didn't have a relationship with Iran, it had to be done this way. "For them to try and pretend this was anything other than a ransom is laughable, and I think it hurts their credibility."
