Former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati has been held in Iran for over three years after being arrested as an alleged spy:

At today’s presser, Josh Earnest said the Iran nuclear deal and the imprisonment of Americans in that country are separate issues:
Josh Earnest calls Iran’s espionage charges against U.S. reporter “absurd” and should be immediately dropped. But separate from nuke talks.

Terrible, but not surprising:
@KatiePavlich The White House will not require Iran to NOT BUILD NUKES for the nuclear deal, so come on =

@KatiePavlich @FreeAmirHekmati But they'll trade known terrorists for an American traitor, while claiming leave no one behind. Shameful!

@KatiePavlich @FreeAmirHekmati This is just part of Obama negotiation plan, give everything get nothing.

@KatiePavlich @FreeAmirHekmati On this point alone, Reagan would tell them to go blank themselves. Bergdahl mattered & Amir doesn't?

@KatiePavlich Obama will trade 5 of the worst terrorists for a deserter, but won't free Marine held by Iran? How messed up!@FreeAmirHekmati
