Griner

Read an article where someone with knowledge of the Russian legal system said that it is probably best that plead guilty. He had a list of reasons why (which I don't remember all of them. LOL)

A swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout.

Damn. There was a veteran held on suspicion of being a cia agent that was going to be part of the swap.
He should have been prioritized over this chick.

Well to be fair I have no idea whether the Russians were really against releasing Paul Whelan or if they only had one and chose Griner.
The comments from Whelan’s family suggest the former, they said Biden did the right thing trading for Griner rather than hold out for a deal that can’t be done.

There was more juice in getting Griner out. I would not be surprised if they prioritized her.
Yes. Supposedly the Russians are considering Whelan an espionage case, so it's not the same as a petty drug crime.
So, we gave them an arms dealer.
Right....

Frankly, I think the Russians just got tired of the athlete’s incessant assertions of being discriminated against because of being black and gay along with her whining about the food and accommodations. Besides that, the other inmates probably disliked her sense of entitlement.

In the meantime nobody is even mentioning Mark Fogel.
