Greta Van Susteren: Pressure from Obama admin had nothing to do with Sgt. Tahmooressi's release

Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren has made tireless efforts to bring Sgt. Tahmooressi’s imprisonment in Mexico to President Obama’s attention.

Yesterday, Tahmooressi was released, and Van Susteren says diplomatic pressure from officials in the Obama administration had nothing to do with it:

Judge released #marineheldinmexico #tahmooressi – NOT NOT DIPLOMATIC pressure

Thank you to judge for releasing #tahmooressi

A month ago, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest deflected questions about Sgt. Tahmooressi, telling reporters to ask the State Department instead.
