and the bad thing is some will argue that the griner trade was a good thing!!!
David Whelan, Paul’s twin brother and the family’s spokesperson, continues to praise the US State Department for the negotiation that led to Griner’s release.
He also clapped back at former President Donald Trump, who criticized the Biden administration’s inability to extract Paul Whelan from prison.
“I just wanted to call out the fact that during his presidency, Trump never, ever mentioned Paul’s name in public. Not once in his many, many tweets or any sort of public statement,” Whelan said. “In a sense, you could say they did nothing.”
Trump used his social media platform to ask why Whelan wasn’t included in what he called a one-sided transaction that freed Griner.
“Former President Trump appears to have mentioned my brother #PaulWhelan’s wrongful detention more in the last 24 hours than he did in the 2 years of his presidency in which Paul was held hostage by #Russia (zero),” Whelan tweeted. “I don’t suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero).”
Multiple media outlets reported Saturday that former National Security Adviser John Bolton said Trump had a chance to free Whelan by exchanging Viktor Boot, the Russian prisoner exchanged last week to free Griner.
Whelan said Bolton was the highest-ranking federal official the family reached.
“We didn’t get any traction with the Trump administration for years. Some of that may have been the personalities in the administration. We couldn’t even get to (then-Secretary of State) Mike Pompeo,” Whelan said.
IQ45 had the chance to make the headlines, he failed miserably !
I believe this means the IQ of his loyalist…

Only folks I know that take pride in stupidity, gullibility, and ignorance…
Bolbie, you were the one earlier bitcjhing about politics on off topic… why?
Any way, let’s leave Trump out of this. He didn’t trade a prisoner weather it be Grinner or who ever for the world’s most Notorious arms Broker. That’s the issue brother. You need to understand the severity of Victor going free and back to negotiating arms deals with terrorists out to murder Americans. You know what Bro? Biden has just made any Actor or person of fame a target across the Entire Globe. People now know our President will trade anyone for a convicted thug. It just makes No sense.

Quit sidelining the topic and just admit Biden and this administration are complete Fools (to put it lightly) for GIving up the World’s most Notorious Gun Broker for a washed up anti American “athlete”. You just can’t give up on Trump because he scares you that he will dry up all the free Ice Cream money you are admittingly skimming. How much stimulus Money did your Pop’s business make on Corona Stimulus money that will not be required to be paid back? I don’t really care to know, but if he was like most big business, it was a lot.
Like always you can’t handle the actual story line of Victor being released.
You’re grasping Fred, IQ45 wants to end our Constitution.
IQ45 is dining with white nationalist. He’s not a threat to me at all, but he’s a threat to whatever is left of the Conservative party.
He ain’t really had good luck lately…….
When you run your business like a bunch of shysters, you’ll most likely get caught! It’s too easy to play by the rules, the greedy fools who think they’re almighty, are embarrassed to the core.
On Halloween, prosecutors made their opening arguments in the trial of the Trump Corporation (which encompasses most of his business empire) and the Trump Payroll Corporation (which processes payments to staff), arguing that the case was about “greed and cheating.”
The Trump Organization was convicted Tuesday in a New York court, which find that the company had falsified business records and dodged mandatory financial reporting on extravagant benefits for executives such as luxury apartments and cars.
Don’t kid yourself Fred, another mercenary took up Bout’s spot not long after he was captured. Your dude had the opportunity to bring home a Marine caught spying, he did nothing, hopefully this administration will get him back.
Post it up for all to see and no spin twist allowed
Don’t make excuses for releasing a murdering piece of scum. and Who is IQ45?
You so blindly over look so much going on in today’s society to circle back and point fingers at Trump. Why? Your Man Biden is the worst President we have ever had, unless you want to see the end of America and become China Owned. Is that what you want?
Bolbie, this whole thing should have been a bipartisan discussion. I can promise you if Trump would have made this trade, I would have talked smack about him. He didn’t, it was Biden, but you can’t seem to come to the table and just simply admit that trading a person legally convicted of drug charges in a foreign country for the World’s most notorious guns broker (Victor Bout) was a bad thing?? Come on man.
Literally every discussion trying to be held you and your Ilk’s response is Trump bla bla bal… Trump my arse, let’s talk about Biden. I know never happen, because you can not refute anything any of us have to say about him. I remember you following your saviors message… If I didn’t take the Jab I would kill my relatives and if I did take the Jab, I could not get covid.
You noticed that most everything Trump has ever said in the past that you and friends have said was a lie, has turned out to be the truth and it was the media and top law agencies lying. Wake up my Friend!!
Since Biden has done this trade, why don’t we now release Everyone in jail on Reefer charges, even those that killed others for it? What you think Bolbie?
Robert can’t name one thing that Biden has done to merit another term.
Wait a minute! Wasn’t this asked of Robert when Hillary was ending her political career?

He won the 2020 election ! Saved us from 4 more years of backwards-ass leadership from that Yankee shyster……You know, the cat that dodged Vietnam, and now talks about getting rid of the Constitution?
What kind of idiot would vote for such a character?
But, I’d say winning that 2020 Presidential election was tops as far as President Biden’s accomplishments.

who dodged Vietnam Bolbie? the man had bone spurs. this makes you ineligible for draft. Now let’s talk about Biden’s Vietnam dodge Draft. Did you know about that? The man that was a Lifeguard, Football hero, and General all around Athlete. He dodged it because he and asthma. Really.
Did you know Biden’s daughter (FBI proven) was forced to take showers with her Dad and self admittedly says this is what caused her Sexual deviant behaviors. How about the coach roaches running (referring to Black folk)? How about swearing He’ll never have his kids go to school with it being like a Jungle after segregation. How about Biden eulogizing Robert Byrd, and saying he was his mentor? You know you Robert Byrd was? He was a high up member of the KKK. What about Joe’s business ties to China while he’s been in office (which is all his life). He was a commercial truck driver… He was a coal miner… He said if I didn’t take the vaccine I would kill my family and if I did take it I couldn’t get covid… I got a lot more and some may be even worse…
You really believe Energy independence and America first is Backwards leadership. Please say you are not that stupid.
Exactly Polly, what kind of an idiot would vote for Biden. I guarantee it was not 81 million.
