So Biden has done a one-for-one exchange to free jailed WBNA star Brittney Griner from Russia. In exchange, he gave up Viktor Bout, an arms dealer convicted of conspiracy to kill US citizens and officials, and of aiding a terrorist organization.
One for one.
An even trade.
A basketball player.
For a known arms dealer nicknamed "The Merchant of Death" and "Sanctions Buster."
And what about Paul Wheelan, another American, albeit not a famous one, seemingly falsely accused of spying and now rotting in a Russian cell? He was mentioned earlier by the White House as part of a package deal for Bout , but apparently discarded by the Administration when push came to shove.
I mean, screw the everyday American and Marine vet (even if one with a poor conduct discharge.). We have a basketball star to rescue from the consequences, however overly harsh, of her own actions.
What a "win" Mr. President, what a "win."
