He doesn't say Reagan knew much less ordered it, but it looks like his campaign chief Casey did know. So the Iranians released the captives minutes after Reagan took office and Reagan stole our weapons and sold them to Iran and funded terrorists attacking Nicaragua. Didn't Nixon get accused of telling S Vietnam to end peace negotiations with the north under LBJ?

"Now, Ben Barnes, a prominent Democratic politician at the time, tells the New York Times he was a witness to Republican efforts to prevent the hostages from being freed before Election Day."

"Gary Sick was the Iran expert on President Carter's National Security Council"

'And though both began careers as Democrats, they gained prominence as GOP influencers.'
