 I wasn't surprised, but I was appalled. He said this before. I think it is sickening to have any presidential, any political candidate tie a journalist being held hostage in a country to his own election. The only other thing I want to say about this is that this trial is a sham. Evan should not be there. He should not be in a glass cage. Journalism is not a crime, and he should be allowed home regardless of who the president of this country is.
