    So Whelan was in jail while Trump was president (for 2 years). Why didn’t the orange turd ask his bestie to release Whelan? Seems if he were so tight with Putin it would have been easy.
    Was it he was releasing 5 Taliban terrorists without any trade and was too busy???? The world wonders.

    I don't know what was done about Whelan when Trump was President. Maybe he deserves to be criticized for not getting Whelan out. What I do know is now Biden is President. And now, the other side told Biden we will not give you a convicted spy for a convicted arms dealer. Convicted vape possessor who checks all of your woke progressive boxes for said arms dealer is what you'll have to take. And Biden said, OK.

    Trump turned down the deal because that guy was too dangerous.

    So in Trump's opinion, Whelan's freedom wasn't enough to give up Bout?

    It is a PR win for Biden and Russia had to give up nothing. Win / win for them both.

    we know the exchange but what we’re the hidden costs for each country that we will never know? Peace In Ukraine? No more US support of Ukraine? Was any of that tied in to the deal?

    I don’t criticize it. Good for BG. No “fuck, we got her back instead of him” for me. US is going to have to increase its negotiation position to get the spy out of jail.
