Btw I'm surprised no one brought up the fact that Obama and the Dems have been praising his Iran Deal as a sign of improving relations when we had to secretly airdrop more than half a billion dollars to get our guys back.
It wasn't a ransom. It was a scheduled payment as part of a settlement of a decades-old lawsuit relating to the freezing of Iranian assets held in the U.S. during the Iranian hostage crisis. The only reason the money was airlifted instead of transfered was because Congress banned money transfers to Iran and the only reason the money exchange coincided with the prisoner transfer was so that the Iranian government could frame it as a ransom to its people in order to prevent civil unrest.
I wouldn't expect you to know any of this since you probably get most of your news from Fox or the New York Post and are too lazy to do any research yourself.
