Is this a surrender or step one of a deal? Brittany Griner has conceded her guilt in bringing contraband into Russia after five months of incarceration, which may either simplify or complicate efforts to get the WNBA star back to the US:

They can keep her... this would be like trading Josh Allen for Mac Jones.

 

"Russian media have speculated that Griner could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. after being convicted of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization."

Marc Fogel was convicted of smuggling drugs into Russia and sentenced to 14 years in prison in a high-security penal colony last month.

His family and lawyers have said he was carrying cannabis for medical reasons to treat chronic back pain.

“He made a terrible mistake by taking medical marijuana into Russia,” Anne Fogel said. “But 14 years in a hard labor camp is essentially a death sentence for him. He’s 61 years old and he has a very long history of spinal injury.”

 

The last moment of freedom for Fogel was caught on surveillance video at a Russian airport. He was heading back to Moscow last August for his 10th year of teaching the children of U.S. diplomats.

They can keep them both. Taking weed/oils/whatever into Russia is a mistake alright. Lets keep the killer here behind bars.

Miller misses the point. They’re not trading an arms dealer for Griner. They’re trading an arms dealer for a spy. They just want Griner thrown in so nobody asks why this bad conduct discharge is worth such an asset.

Paul Whelan is a questionable character , so far jmo Marc Fogel and Griner should be freed before Whelan. I would not free the Russian arms dealer even for all 3 ,  Putin is being Putin KGB
