US Marine Paul Whelan is rotting in a Russian jail for 4 years already. His sentence is up in 12 years.
Instead, Biden freed the Merchant of Death to get a WNBA player who was jailed less than 2 months ago
What a spit in the face

Meet Brittney Griner & Marine Paul Whelan.
Both Americans.
Both were convicted in Russian courts on dubious charges.
Both serving multi-year sentences in Russian prison.
Brittney hates America

FLASHBACK: 60 Minutes special detailing Operation Relentless, the team that captured Viktor Bout:

That’s Unfortunate – NBC Reported White House Had to Choose Between Brittany Griner or Paul Whelan, Biden Chose Griner – Then NBC Changed Report
Just an ancillary side note to the U.S-Russia prisoner exchange.
According to an original article from NBC, the negotiations for the prisoner swap included an exchange for either LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner or U.S. former marine Paul Whelan.
The Russians would swap either U.S. citizen for the return of arms dealer Viktor Bout; however, the White House would have to decide which American they wanted in return. The White House decided there was greater benefit to getting LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner returned, and left Paul Whelan in a Russian prison.
[ NBC Report – Archived Version LINK ]
Obviously, this context of the NBC report makes the Biden administration look bad.
A political and ideological decision within the selection of the Biden administration preference. Realizing this, perhaps after contact from the White House, NBC stealth edited their story after publication in order to eliminate the political problem.
In the original version: “the Kremlin gave the White House the choice of either Griner or Whelan — or none.”
In the stealth revised version: “the Kremlin ultimately gave the White House the choice of either Griner or no one after different options were proposed.”
Even with the modified and carefully worded changes, it looks like Joe Biden chose the trans basketball player over the former U.S. marine, which, given the arc of history, does seem to make sense.

LGBTQ is always where things point back to with this regime. It is one of the key factors behind the support for Ukraine’s drama-queen puppet “leader” Zelenskyy, for one thing . . .
I don’t agree with what this administration did here, but there is a lot to know about these two individuals. From what I have found, Mr. Whelan was in the Marines, but he did not serve Honorably. IMHO, I would not have traded the MOD for either one.
There was no way the US could get the best part of the deal. Putin completely screwed them.
But Obama/Biden admin. traded a deserter for five Taliban leaders
Even so, I would have preferred to have Whelan back than the America-hating pothead black lesbian dribbler (the only attributes the Biden regime considered worthy to free her – not necessarily my own words).
Joe Biden with his politically correct ideology along with his PC administration would choose such character as Graner instead of the right choice of having Paul Whelan to be freed.
For Biden and his administration are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent f and just.
Everything politically correct Joe Biden and his administration does an abomination to everything that is wise, good and right
Joe Biden by this, is ,again, showing his true colors, Which are Red and Green meaning that of the Red/Green alliance’
That is the Communist- Islamic alliance.
You mean the Communist-Islamic-LGBTQ alliance, no?
Biden’s a sadistic joker who loves triggering the mob. He’s having the time of his life. Please stand by for more.
If it was not Gay and colored and identified as a woman it would still be sitting in a Russian Jail.
I don’t think either conviction was entirely “dubious”.
Griner smuggle cannabis oil into Russia and Whelan was most likely carry out espionage – although whether that was proved in court is doubtful.
In any case, it’s obvious that Biden chose to release the (wrong) prisoner that would win him more favourable support back home. But any idea that Whelan – who’d served 1/4 of his 12-year sentence – could survive there better than Griner – who’d served 10 months on remand, into a sentence that would almost certainly have resulted in “time-served” and freedom – is ludricous!
Whelan – a U.S. vet’ – is an obvious candidate for abuse or attack in a Russian prison, whilst butch 6’6″ lesbian Griner – an Olymic gold medalist – would be lauded – and was probably up-to-her-teeth-in-pussy!
This administration does not know how to negotiate. All they know is appeasement.
That “joke” of a prisoner swap by exchanging the wrong person exposes that Joe Biden isn’t ,at all , interested in doing the right thing ,but only in doing the politically correct thing .
What a complete and total PC scoundrel that pseudo “President” Biden really is,
Brittney Griner stated to Russian reporter that she will come back to Russia again.
Being a democrat is an admission of hating America.
