FTA: It was not immediately clear whom the Americans released, but Iranian reports said seven Iranians were freed.

Their cash for one thing. More terrorists for another. Congress is taking so much heat, put the pressure on their fellow Muslim in the WH to do something.

They’re all still traitors.

Yes, i read the article. They only say that 7 Iranians were released.

What they DON’T tell us is who they are. Criminals, spies, terrorists?

Nothing would surprise me with this traitorous bunch.

Watched Cruz a few minutes ago on CNN. According to CNN Cruz was the first candidate to make a statement. Ted stated first Praise God, talked about how he had gotten to know the Christian ministers wife and family.

He went on to say that we may well learn troubling details on how they came back to us, but Praise God for the release... I paraphrase from memory

You wont hear Trump praising God

"So, what did they get in exchange?"

All the technology on those two fast Patrol Boats and severe embarrassment of the 10 Sailors,the Navy and the US as a whole.

Yes, most are people who tried to illegally obtain parts or equipment of some sort or information that was banned by sanctions.

They’re getting the hostages out before Trump gets in. As Trump said, they’re not dumb.

terms of the deal:
They received seven Iranian spies.
They received two military boats with technology and ??
They received 150 billion dollars.

We received four Iranian/American hostages/prisoners.

All politics aside, I’m very happy for the poor souls who had been trapped in that hell hole. Thank God.
