      Could it be that Putin is scared of Trump and wanted to make a deal with this administration so they can try to keep this feeble administration in office?

    Stop being so negative! These people have been freed that’s a good thing. I can’t even begin to think that I am so smart and I know everything! would’ve got these people home better,sooner or whatever. But I’m not and if you think you are then maybe you should run for president and solve all the world problems Otherwise… Let’s just be happy that these prisoners have been freed.
