Traded someone charged with marijuana possession for a "notorious Russian arms dealer"...

Don't get me wrong, she should never of had the treatment she got but seems USA got ripped...

I feel the same. Her case was used and punishment made harsher by Russia for political reasons, but she knowingly brought cannabis into a country where it is illegal. With this deal, the Biden administration is saying that Brittney Griner is more deserving than Paul Whelan.

Yeah the whole Paul Whelan thing is a huge disaster. Absolute shame to the Biden administration.

Fucking hypocrites when they’re dragging their feet on cannabis legalization in this country.
