    I wish people who know better would stop pretending they don't understand why POTUS/admin doesn't call it ransom money even if it is.

        An extremely irresponsible tweet from someone w/ access to information who should know better. It's a return of their OWN money.

        I'm not arguing the Iran deal was a bad idea. I think it was the right thing to do. Better to inspect than not.

        He didn't call it "ransom money" because it ISN'T ransom money. And you probably know that. @jonallendc

        it's Iran's money. We just gave it back and got our peeps back. Not a shot fired. What's the beef. Nothing's free.

        Also coincided with Iran agreeing to a nuclear deal hard for them to swallow. Again: their money. Theirs.

        If someone pays you back the money owed to you, it's ransom? I don't pay ransom, can I borrow $10K?
