For months, the rumors about Joe Biden trading away Russian terrorist Viktor Bout for Brittney Griner we were told that the trade would also include imprisoned American Paul Whelan. He was arrested in Russia back in December of 2018. Whelan wasn’t smuggling drugs like Brittney Griner. Now Whelan, still in a Russian gulag is saying disappointed he is in Joe Biden for not securing his release. Here’s the thing Paul, you put your trust in a Democrat like China Joe Biden, you will always get screwed.
Whelan gave an interview to of all places, CNN to say how disappointed he is in Biden. If Whelan wants to get his message how, perhaps he should go to an actual news outlet that has actual viewers and people reading it. Not the clown show that is CNN.
Detained American Paul Whelan says he is happy that the Biden administration was able to secure WNBA player Brittney Griner’s release from Russia in a prisoner swap but is “greatly disappointed” that it hasn’t been able to secure his.
“I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four-year anniversary of my arrest is coming up,” Whelan said in a phone interview with CNN from the penal colony where he is being held in a remote part of Russia. “I don’t understand why I’m still sitting here.”
Whelan said he “was led to believe that things were moving in the right direction, and that the governments were negotiating and that something would happen fairly soon.”
The Biden administration announced Thursday that Griner was freed in exchange for Viktor Bout, a convicted arms dealer who had been serving a 25-year prison sentence in the United States.
