Guys,
The coverage of this is designed to help Obama, IMHO. The fact of the money is not news. Multiple agencies reported it back in January. That the $400M was delivered the day of the release, in cash, may be new facts, but it is really a rehash of what was already reported.
But, this give multiple cycles to how Obama "freed the hostages" when no one else could. How America won by scaling back Iranian nuke ambitions AND getting our people home AND paying 10% of what we would've owed if the Hague had decided the BS case.
The rest of it is noise.
People don't care about foreign policy. They care about bringing our hostages home.
Obama did that.
Arguing about whether it was a bad deal allows Obama/HRC to say "but we brought them home - has Trump ever done that?"
(At least Perot had that going for him.)
