Wow. What a move for Biden. He will easily be a top 10 President. The dude just keeps winning.

 

[TNHarley]

Good they are released. Just wonder what he traded?
He isnt exactly known for good trades.

Sleepy Joe released the Merchant of Death to get the Russian Federation to release the lady basketball player.

Considering how close it is to the election, I'm sure Uncle Pooty was able to get full price for these prisoners.

Maybe Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, is on his way back now to Mother Russia?

The original Russian Plan was to wait for Trump to be elected but they have given up hopes of that as his campaign implodes like a 1950's Russian tank hit by a Ukrainian operating a US drone

Explain, please. Which bad trades did he make?

Shut up, idiot.
Your cultified ass would think satan himself was a good trade for a homeless junkie with 12 hours to live, if a D made it.

I wonder who or what he exchanged for our CIA asset? Hopefully not another Russian international arms dealer, like we did for that Brittney Griner guy.

• Wall Street Journal reporter Gershkovich let go in deal
• US, Russia had held extensive talks on prisoner exchange

"Russia released Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan as part of a major prisoner swap with the US, according to people familiar with the situation.
The men, jailed in Russia on espionage charges they and the US deny, are en route to destinations outside of Russia. The US and its allies will return prisoners to Russia that they hold under the deal, the people said, asking for anonymity to discuss matters that aren’t yet public."

Sleepy Joe released the Merchant of Fucking Death for a girl basketball player who was caught smuggling drugs into Russia.

Not a very good trade at all.

U.S., Russia agree to prisoner swap to free Americans Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan and others

The Biden administration has agreed to a prisoner exchange with Russian and is expected to soon secure the release of three American citizens imprisoned in Russia.

www.cbsnews.com

The Biden administration has agreed to a prisoner exchange with Russia and is expected to soon secure the release of three American citizens imprisoned in Russia including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, a senior administration official confirms. The swap would be part of an historically complex 24-person prisoner swap between the U.S., Russia, Germany and three other Western countries.

The exchange has not occurred yet.

Whelan and Gershkovich were both imprisoned in Russia on accusations of espionage that were consistently disputed by the United States. Kurmasheva, a dual American and Russian citizen, was detained in Russia in June of 2023 on charges of spreading false information about the Russian army.


As part of the deal, at least 12 political prisoners held in Russia are expected to be released to Germany. Eight Russian nationals are expected to be returned to Russia, including several with suspected ties to Russian intelligence. Among the Russian nationals expected to be involved in the swap is Vadim Krasikov, a convicted murderer who has been serving a life sentence for a 2019 killing in Germany that the judges said had been ordered by Russian federal authorities.

Kremlin critic and Washington Post contributor Vladimir Kara-Murza is expected to be flown to the U.S. Kara-Murza is a British-Russian citizen and a green card holder. His family lives in the U.S.

Girl basketball player? You mean Bradley Griner?

I may be mistaken, but this might be the guy who was caught on video killing that guy on the bicycle in Germany.
