    Whelan is in jail for espionage charge not a vape cartridge charge. I am sure his price is higher that a 1:1 swap.
    Trevor Reed was swapped earlier this year in a prisoner exchange and some people were like "oh sure go and get the white guy back but leave our precious BG in jail."

    As I understand it, the WH wanted both Welan and Griner for Bout, but the Russians said we're not giving up Welan. We should have said sorry, but you're not getting Bout for just Griner.

    Brittney was flown to Abu Dhabi. I hope she knows they have strict drug laws there.

    It would be hilarious if the Russians packed her luggage with the original evidence.

    no way in hell she should've gotten out before Paul Whelan. her choice to bring drugs into a country like russia.

    Griner should have rotted in Jail for the full nine years. Or at the very least, we could swap a russian athlete held over here for her. But you don't swap a weapons trafficer for a basketball player.

    well that seems a bit extreme.

    i get that countries have their own laws. but frozen work camp for 9 years for weed is a bit much.

    would you also favor enforcement if they had beheading for jaywalking?

    It's principle Martin ... principle. ... Of course I don't agree with nine years for smoking dope.
