Glad she is out, but it was supposed to include a US Marine, Paul Whelan. Who to all reports, unlike Griner did nothing wrong. Not to mention the swap was for an Evil bastard who supplied arms to kill Americans. But I’m sure it will be hailed as the greatest diplomatic deal since the Japanese surrendered in 1945.

Is she going to kiss the ground when she gets back?

According to Biden, Paul Whelan's release was not negotiable at this time. However, his release remains a priority for the government.

Hostage negotiations are a fickle business.

We all know why the star got released over the marine. Should have stuck to their original demands.

Due to very unfortunate circumstances, we have learned everything about Trump and then some. It isn't necessary to learn anything on top of that.

Russia wasn't having it. So, for whatever reason, they wouldn't discuss it further.

Why should they when there is a stream of Americans willing to go to Russia even with everything going on? They can just grab another American next week.

You do not know that. We caved because getting the star home was more important politically than the unknown marine.

There is a travel advisory concerning Russia that the state department has issued. Only fools violate it.

Cite? Where are you getting this? They just had Paul Whelan's brother on, and he said nothing like that.

Amazing, isn't it? Paul Whelan has been in a Russian prison for four years; why didn't Trump get him out?
