Robert Levinson, a former FBI special agent who disappeared while traveling on Iran’s Kush Island in 2007, has “died while in Iranian custody,” his family announced Wednesday. ---SNIP---
“Those who are responsible for what happened to Bob Levinson, including those in the U.S. government who for many years repeatedly left him behind, will ultimately receive justice for what they have done,” the announcement said.
That’s a reference to President Barack Obama’s administration, which did not secure Levinson’s release despite years of negotiating with Tehran in the lead-up to the implementation of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Another victim of Clinton/Obama foreign policy. I guess the FBI had better things to do than lobbying for the return of their agent.

Or FBI leadership worked with Clinton/Obama to leave him there so not to skew the “optics?”

Obama, the great negotiator. NOT! He gave the ayatollahs an airplane load of $100 dollar bills and couldn’t even get them to release this man in return. Despicable!

Obama is such a dirtbag. He could have gotten this guy back, but he didn’t.

I guess the Secretary disavowed any knowledge of his actions.

An awful story. May the family find some measure of comfort and peace.

I’m sure it wasn’t a vacation. I’m sure it wasn’t his idea to go there. Some superior ordered him to go there and then slithered away.

Hmmmmm? What did he know? Was it something that may have exposed some treason? The Conspiracies begin.

My understanding is he was retired. Any American who goes near Iran or North Korea is not thinking clearly.

If I had known you wanted to have words with Zerobama, I wouldn’t have flushed my toilet this morning, and you could have come over to talk to him.

The unwritten Trump Doctrine should mean death to anyone who harms an American ANYWHERE in the world. As for this fella you can’t fix stupid.

As the article says: He was a former FBI agent working as a CIA contractor.
Personally, I think he died years ago.

It says....."He fell into the Iran's regime’s hands while working as a CIA contractor." ...Also CIA officials apologized to the Levinson family in '2008' after reportedly failing to realize that a contractor had gone missing in Iran.
13 Years in Iranian captivity
