Paul Whelan says he doesn't 'understand' why he's still in Russian captivity after Brittney Griner was freed

[struth]

You said, "when. i take drugs, and try to get them into another country, illegally…i’m trafficking it". There is no evidence that she took drugs into another country, illegally.

she admitted it…the drugs were in her luggage

 

[struth]

I don't know what he was doing, I know he has a history of breaking the Law.

so that makes it ok for russia to hold him for spying for the united states?

 

[Lesh]

the information russia said he had was too secret govt data…not business data.

You think those things are mutually exclusive? Dope

what industry?

So you know nothing about Whelan. Noted

On December 28, 2018, Whelan was arrested in the Moscow area by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), which later confirmed his arrest.[16][17][18] Whelan's twin brother David said Whelan arrived in Moscow on December 22 to attend the wedding of a former fellow Marine at the Hotel Metropol Moscow and to assist the groom's family members on their first visit to Russia, a country he had visited many times. He said his brother planned to return to Michigan on January 6, 2019, via Saint Petersburg.[19]

Per MBK News, an outlet run by Putin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Whelan had $80,000 in cash "temporarily confiscated" during a customs inspection at Domodedovo Airport.[20] David said his brother entered Russia using his U.S. passport.[4] He said his brother had not been in contact with his family. He was formally charged on January 3, 2019.[21]

According to the Russian news agency Rosbalt [ru], Whelan was apprehended in his hotel room at the Metropol while concluding a long outing with a Russian citizen, who handed him a USB drive containing "a list of all the employees at a classified security agency". The independent Latvian-based publication Meduza reported that the wedding attendees all banded close together for the duration of the holiday, and were taken aback by Whelan's decision to spend the day alone.[22]

The BBC cited family members of Whelan, who said he previously bragged about knowing an agent of the FSB, and was privy to an unusual cache of personal details about his friend, including which intelligence training school he attended (biographical information typically reserved for a very close circle).[23]

As Whelan said about the arrest, his long-time friend had appeared suddenly in the hotel, followed by authorities, who later arrested him.[24]

According to the lawyers, they could not provide the name of Whelan's Russian friend due to Russian secrecy rules, but Whelan's family identified the person as Ilya Yatsenko, whom the Russian newspaper Kommersant described as a major in the FSB's Department "K", which monitors Russian economic crimes.[25]

How do we know that wasn't planted in her luggage?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Would we hold a Russian caught in America spying for Russia?

 

[Lesh]

How do we know that wasn't planted in her luggage?

She was prescribed it and admitted it was hers.

Still not a drug trafficker though.

She had been to Russia many times and probably had hash oil with her then as well. She was arrested as a political statement

yeah his friend was a govt agent…seems to support the idea the govts were spying on each other…

 

[struth]

How do we know that wasn't planted in her luggage?

cause she confessed and admitted it was her’s

 

[struth]

Would we hold a Russian caught in America spying for Russia?

lol so you have less than zero for credible sources. We already knew that.

 

[DudleySmith]

SypaBad is really too stupid to admit to facts.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

cause she confessed and admitted it was her’s

The Central Park 5 confessed and we found out it was under duress. Do you think they made her confess and don't tell me you wouldn't have in the same situation unless you have been in that situation before.

[Superbadbrutha]

Linda Fairstein, whose office oversaw the prosecution of the 1989 Central Park Five assault case

any evidence she was beaten?

We don't know what was done to her, yet.

 

[struth]

We don't know what was done to her, yet.

of course we do. she has spoken.

she admitted guilt. you simply are making things up again

 

[BS Filter]

So the Marine Corp is lying, he has a DD214 that will say what his discharge was. So you would have rather seen the white man released before the black woman.

Yeah. The White guy is innocent and has been there longer.
