Wrapped in plastic on palates in the dead of night on a Swiss unmarked plane as the hostages were released. It's a new world people and the liars at the top of it are all on the same page.

Not incompetent, unfortunately...

See my post on this here...

The main quote from that link:

Obama touched on the subject of the settlement during a Cabinet Room statement that January weekend when the Americans were freed.

"The United States and Iran are now settling a longstanding Iranian government claim against the United States government," Obama said, adding, "For the United States, this settlement could save us billions of dollars that could have been pursued by Iran. So there was no benefit to the United States in dragging this out. With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well."

I thought "we" didn't negotiate with terrorists?

$80 million per person. Not a bad ransom.
