    The President negotiated the freedom of American citizen Aya Hijazi and her family. What America's greatest diplomat, Obama, couldn't do in close to 3 years President Trump did in 3 months. Of course watching PMSNBC crickets.

    "She was a dual national at a time when Egypt was gripped by the widest-ranging crackdown in its modern history. Her case had become a national scandal, cast by state media as a victory of law and order. And despite calls for her release, the Obama administration seemed to have little leverage with the Sissi regime to make it happen."

    But on Friday, she entered the White House as a free woman, having flown home on a U.S. government plane after being acquitted in a Cairo court.

    The court's decision came after months of backroom negotiations between the Trump administration and representatives of Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi.

    Just the ruthless and brutal dictator Asis doing his brother a solid. I wonder what he'll expect in return later; all of Donald Trump's ass-kissing is only going to go so far.

    Sorry but this woman was a dual citizen - American and Egyptian.
    She was not considered to be an Egyptian in the USA nor an American when in Egypt.
    And if I am not mistaken her NGO was not registered in Egypt.
    Why was she flown home on a US govt aircraft? What makes her any different than other US citizens- many of whom hold only a US passport- in Egyptian jails?

    The man the Egyptians chose to EVICT the muslim brotherhood from power over them , after Obama/Hillary installed them, and gave them (the world's oldest islamoterror group) $1.5 billion over the expressed wishes of Congress.
    That has ought a lot of IEDs, etc. More of the foreign policy Obamidiocy...

    The left only hates ANTI-TERROR DESPOTS. Bloodthristy thugs like Castro, the Little Fat Kid in N.Korea, Chaves' ongoing regime, etc. are just fine with them.

    So some Muslims who have been in prison for several years have been released and returned to the US without any vetting. How do you know that they have not become radicalized?
