The Biden Administration’s Sinister Deal With Venezuela – By Washington Free Beacon Editors (Free Beacon) / Dec 22, 2023
On the surface it appears President Joe Biden inked a sweet deal with Venezuela’s tyrant leader, Nicolas Maduro, on Wednesday. Caracas will release 10 Americans and 20 members of Venezuela’s opposition in exchange for a single scumbag businessman.
Thirty for one is not bad as far as hostage negotiations go, but the math tells only part of the story. Just ask the Israelis who traded 1,072 terrorists for the freedom of Gilad Shalit in 2011.
The Biden deal will free a dangerous man at a dangerous time. Alex Saab is an operative for Hezbollah’s external security organization, known as Islamic Jihad. A jury convicted him in May of receiving training from Hezbollah and making false statements, and he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
According to the Justice Department, Saab surveilled sites in New York City as possible targets for terrorist attacks, focusing on “the structural weaknesses of locations … in order to determine how a future attack could cause the most destruction.”
