The biden administration screwed this up in my opinion.

They get a druggie out because she is a celebrity, and trade a mass killing arms dealer, but neglect to get Whelan out because he was called a 'spy'.

Some priorities appear to be misplaced

But the deals behind the scene will continue

So freeing a dangerous "Merchant of Death" who hates America and sold massive amounts of weapons to be used against America for an America-hating, Anthem-kneeling flaming liberal. Ya....gotta give those America-hating people their freedom so they can continue hating us!

Biden hates America THIS much!!!!!

It makes one ponder who was working behind the scene to make this a priority, while letting a criminal russian go, but not demanding the release of Paul Whelan.

Is there part 2 to this deal?

Biden thought it was an even swap. Viktor Bout hates the USA and Brittney Griner hates the USA.
This ranks up there with Obama’s infamous Bowe Bergdahl swap.
Everyone in Washington is an enemy of this once great nation.
Just another example of the pathetic times we live in.

95% of Americans could care less about lesbo Griner being released while 95% of Americans would applaud our Marine being released. Slo joe leaves all of our great military personnel behind at every turn. I'm surprised he didn't give the Russians another $$$85 billion in military hardware, like he gave the Taliban, to free that lesbo, knee bending, anti-American.
