@shawnemerriman Why didn’t Trump cut a deal to free him with his BFF Putin? Most people wouldn’t know Paul’s name if it wasn’t for BG. Let’s not compare vape pens to whatever Russia thinks Whelan is. Lucky we got anyone home tbh.
@ProducerDanny This isn’t a Trump/Biden comparison, this is a unequal return and should have never been done under those circumstances.
@shawnemerriman @ProducerDanny Haha! Come on Shawne, reading tweets does not equal sitting in on negotiations! Everyone is an expert because they read one tweet! Read the Whelan Family press release, they understand and are extremely gracious!
@shawnemerriman @ProducerDanny We had a chance to get an American home and got the best deal to do that. Russia was never going to give an equal return, that’s literally how they play
@shawnemerriman @ProducerDanny “People familiar with the negotiations for his release say the Russians refused to release Whelan without getting a Russian spy in return. The U.S. insists it does not have any Russian spies in its custody, and thus no one to trade to meet the Kremlin’s demand.” Come on Shawne
@shawnemerriman @ProducerDanny So leave her? That what you're implying?
@shawnemerriman This isn’t a BG / Whelan comparison either. And 2 for 1 isn’t a realistic deal under the circumstances. Both sides got what they wanted. Leaving BG there to rot doesn’t help Whelan. Or anyone else.
