Biden’s Iran Hostage ‘Swap’ Allows Iranian Agents to Remain in U.S.
FrontPageMag ^ | October 6, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

In traditional hostage swaps, we get our hostages returned and we return some enemy agents back to their country.

For example, we freed a major Russian arms dealer and in return we got a pothead WNBA player.

But Biden somehow managed to negotiate an even worse hostage deal with Iran in which the Islamic terror state gets $6 billion and we free 5 Iranians… who then remain in the United States: https://www.voanews.com/a/us-grants-conditional-clemency-to-2-iranians-staying-in-us-after-prisoner-swap-status-of-3rd-unclear/7277094.html

Why aren’t they all in Tehran? Because the same folks negotiating a new Iran Deal got us the best deal ever.

Iran gets $6 billion and we get to keep their agents: https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/10/05/biden-pardons-new-york-times-writer-charged-iran-agent-new-influence-operation-exposed/

I’m not sure how the next hostage deal could get any worse, but I have every faith that the Biden administration will find a way. Maybe next time the provisions will also name Iran’s agents to top positions at the Pentagon.

Sorry, that one already happened too: https://www.frontpagemag.com/chief-of-staff-of-pentagon-counterterrorism-office-served-iranian-gov/

Does she still have her job? Obviously.

So maybe in the next deal, Iran gets to name three of its agents as cabinet members. And then the next president.

It wasn’t 6 Billion dollars Biden gave Iran. It was actually 16 billion....The Six billion was made public, but he kicked in another ten billion a week later, and that was kept fairly quiet.

You shouldn’t post articles like this - they will anger the NeverTrumpers.

The Obama cabal and the Iranian theocracy have been flagrante delicto since 2008. Obama loved/loves anybody who hates Christianity and America.

Thanks for spreading it around. I have been trying for a month to get people to grasp that, with little success.

They needed more after the measly few billions Obama sent them on wooden pallets on US cargo planes:

“The reason that we had to give them cash is precisely because we are so strict in maintaining sanctions and we do not have a banking relationship with Iran that we couldn’t send them a check and we could not wire the money.” (President Barack Obama, 8/4/16)
Money was hundreds of pounds of Swiss francs in cash.

From the Hill, quotes from President Trump:
Said the president in part, “Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013 and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. … Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration.”
((Democrats “quibbled” that not all the money went to terrorists, some was properly owed for the Shah of Iran’s downfall era and so on.))
