    It seem reasonable, after all, that the Iranian deal was made without negotiating for the hostages was a major talking of the Republican candidates. This is why I won't be surprised if it were true.

    Ok, but that wasn't discussed in the interview. He spoke of Hillary's saber rattling setting back the deal

    Oh, so you want to count. Okay. 2 out of 10 are not (presumably) left wing. How is that not mostly? I find it funny that you think anything Christian is not left wing.

    Doesn't mean it is either when it is Christian and one wasn't even from the US.

    I'm not saying that either, you are derailing the topic, the original source was an Iranian publication that several
    different sources quoted.
    One of the hostages was Christian, it is why they reported the story.

    You need to go back and read my initial posts and quit making a big deal over conservative or liberal, if this happened it doesn't matter the political slant it is unethical in my opinion.

    The only way YurTroll and the other partisan hacks can pretend to ignore the facts is to play their infantile thread diversion games.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    The Republicans seem not to be concerned, they haven't replied as of yet to either story, and neither have the Democrats.

    I answered Rana and then she counters that there are two non left wing blogs. When I proved that it was still mostly left wing blogs and not the MSM, she cries I derailing the thread.

    An Iranian official said "Republican rivals of the current US administration" attempted to stall last month's Iranian-U.S. prisoner swap until the eve of the U.S. presidential election, Tasnim News Agency reported.

    According to the semi-official Iranian news outlet, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, made the claims during a speech Thursday at a rally in Yazd, Iran.

    "In the course of the talks for exchanging prisoners, the Republican rivals of the current US administration who claim to be humanitarians and advocates of human rights sent a message telling us not to release these people [American prisoners] and continue this process [of talks] until the eve of US presidential elections,” Shamkhani said, according to Tasnim.

    "We acted upon our independent resolve and moved the process forward,” Shamkhani said.

    The prisoner swap Shamkhani referred to included Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian and three other U.S. citizens imprisoned in Iran, who were freed in exchange for the release of seven Iranians.

    The swap was negotiated alongside the White House's nuclear deal with Iran, and the prisoners were released just before the economic sanctions on Iran were set to lift as part of the nuclear deal.

    Why does when matter? Shouldn't it happening be the concern?
