Biden continues to negotiate with our enemies just like a drunk girl at a frat party.

Well, FR postings are that Hunter and the Big Guy have already been paid to free up these frozen assets.

The prisoner swap makes for a cover story.

I saw this earlier on telegram. Glad you posted.

“Several U.S. citizens, mostly dual nationals, are currently held in Iranian custody on charges including spying and cooperating with the U.S. government.

The prisoners include Siamak Namazi, Emad Sharghi, and Morad Tahbaz”

I bet this made their week.

Should the United States pay ransom to rogue states and others for the release of captured Americans?

Sure.

Then nuke 'em.

Twice.

Let’s see. By my math, that’s a little more than 1 billion per (iranian/American) hostage.

And the IDIOTIC LAMESTREAM PRESS SAYS THERE IS NO CONNECTION OF CORRUPTION BETWEEN THE PAYMENTS AND PEDO JOE’S ANNOUNCEMENTS, DECISIONS, QUID=PRO-QUO, ORDERS ...WELL, LET’S JUST IGNORE:

WHAT BIDEN DOES FOR THE MONEY THAT IS BEING SENT TO HIS FAMILY.

I can trace the PAYMENTS VS. THE ACTIONS JOE TAKES
AND IF I CAN DO IT...SO CAN ANY HONEST PERSON.

Iran said Sunday it had expressed readiness for a full prisoner exchange with the United States “with no preconditions” but that Washington was yet to respond.
“We said some time ago that we are ready to exchange all Iranian and American prisoners,” ISNA news agency quoted government spokesman Ali Rabiei as saying.
“It now appears that America is more ready than before to end this situation,” he added, noting that Iran was waiting for a reply.

“Washington has been notified of our readiness and we think no mediator is needed.”
The Islamic republic in December freed Xiyue Wang, a US academic,...

Xiyue Wang, a US academic, in an exchange for scientist Massoud Soleimani and said it was open to further swaps.
Rabiei also expressed concern about the health of some Iranian prisoners detained in the United States and claimed they are not being treated well.
One of them is Sirous Asgari, an Iranian scientist infected with the novel coronavirus while in detention, according to the Iranian foreign ministry.
A ministry spokesman said last week that “everything is prepared” and declared “he will soon return to Iran” without elaborating further.

Iran is holding US citizens Siamak Namazi, convicted on charges that include espionage, his father Baquer and environmental expert Morad Tahbaz.

According to the US State Department, Iran temporarily released US Navy veteran Micheal White on March 19.
Both countries have called for releasing prisoners over the virus outbreak.
Iran is battling what is the Middle East’s most deadly outbreak, while the US has reported the highest total number of virus deaths worldwide.
The Islamic republic has temporarily released more than 100,000 inmates in several stages since March, according to its judiciary.
Iran and the US have been at loggerheads for decades.
Tensions between them have escalated since 2018 when US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from a landmark nuclear accord and reimposed sanctions on Iran.

Iran Arrests American Founder of Pro-Regime Lobby
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 27, 2015
Posted on 10/30/2015, 7:36:41 AM by nuconvert

Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American citizen who helped establish a pro-Tehran lobbying group in America, has been arrested in Iran and imprisoned indefinitely.

-excerpt-

Namazi has been described as one of the “intellectual architects” of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group that has been accused of working in support of the regime in Tehran.

He and NIAC Director Trita Parsi founded the organization as a way to continuously lobby for the removal of sanctions against Iran and to promote Iran’s foreign policy, while combating the pro-Israel sentiment in America, according to documents from a Cyprus convention that featured the two men.

Both Parsi and Namazi have strong connections with the Iranian regime’s President, Hassan Rouhani, and its foreign minister, Javad Zarif. The two have continued to actively communicate with members of the regime.

-excerpt-

An expert on Iran suggests the arrest is the result of a power struggle within the country. Hassan Dai, the editor of the Iranian American Forum, told Breitbart News that Namazi’s imprisonment shows the Ayatollah remains completely in control of his nation’s affairs, and that even Iran’s president is powerless to protect his acquaintances from imprisonment.

Dai explained that Namazi had consistently “lobbied in favor of a faction of the regime,” which upset the Mullahs because it would only be acceptable to “lobby for the whole regime.”

The murky espionage charges against Iranian-American businessman Emad Sharghi came to light in early 2021, when an Iranian court announced that the venture capitalist had been sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison.

His family says Iran had cleared him of spying charges in December 2019 after jailing and interrogating him for months. Iran says security forces then caught Sharghi on the country’s northwestern border and re-arrested him as he tried to flee Iran while free on bail.....-—— ABC News

This guarantees more Americans will be taken as hostages.
