She wasn’t in the United States. She is governed by the laws of where she is, not where she is from. What am I missing? Same with the man from Oakmont

@colin_dunlap Problem is a known arms dealer is now free in the world. The world suffers from her mistake
@colin_dunlap Agree with you, Colin. Hell, she lived there for long periods of time and knew the laws/penalties of Russia. Just does not seem logical to argue differently.
@colin_dunlap Happy she is coming home but nothing to celebrate. Whelan remains and a horrible arms dealer was released. How many future deaths will result from his release.
@colin_dunlap You are completely missing the fact that Russian laws get applied extremely arbitrary. She got the the maximum penalty because she was famous, American and LBTQ, all the things Putin hates.
@colin_dunlap You’re assuming the charges and prosecution were even legit. You have a lot of faith in the Russian criminal justice system?
@colin_dunlap Watch The Beat and The Reidout on MSNBC from this evening. They have people on who explain it - Putin was never going to release Whelan.
