The U.S. whistleblower, who has lived in Russia since 2013, took the oath of citizenship and received a Russian passport Friday. https://t.co/qORAVaYex0
The President of the United States traded Russian terrorist arms dealer, Viktor Bout, left a U.S. Marine in Russian jail, and brought home a professional basketball player.
How many people will Viktor Bout now kill bc Biden set him free?
BREAKING NEWSPaul Whelan was discharged from the Marines because he submitted HIMSELF for various awards -Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medaletc via the online awards system of the Commanding General of the Third Marine Aircraft Wing.
BOOMWhelan’s attempts to fraudulently secure awards for himself through a system he had admin access to, was caught when the poorly written forms were flagged by the Commanding General’s staff.
Paul Whelan also falsified orders so he would not have to return to his primary unit in Michigan and he could stay at Miramar. He was also drawing BAH and Commuted Rations pay while living in an apartment in LaJolla when he lacked orders that he was stationed there
He was convicted at a special court-martial in January 2008 as a Staff Sergeant on several charges related to larceny and was given a bad-conduct discharge in Dec 2008 at the rank of Private- subsequently he gets no veterans benefits
Whelan's brother has Trump's number!!! Not buying what Trump is selling!
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). I don't suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero) https://t.co/7lnSF0zJxL
Note he's not a nobody - that's him, not a fake, followed by a lot of the right people, link to his website, member since 2008. photo has physical resemblance.
I go back to Biden's statement on it, who seems to have the right attitude; as I said, sounds like this case is a little more complicated than Brittney and it's probably not helpful to the situation to publicly say why, whatever that is.
This is US Marine Trevor Reed, who Biden got released from Russia. His release was delayed by Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene. He said Trump failed to fight for his release & Russians are “big fans” of MAGA.
confirmation of the Whelan court-martial from Moe Davis:
Mr. Whelan is not a retired Marine. He was court-martialed in 2008 for attempted larceny, false statements, dereliction of duty, and other offenses and received a bad conduct discharge from the Marine Corps.https://t.co/eIaGlfIx0Phttps://t.co/vZUuuqVJWd

and hey, guess what, I see from WaPo that it's not a skin color nor political competition, the families support one another as Americans in trouble, go figure:
[....] “We sincerely thank you all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers — including Paul and the Whelan family who have been generous with their support for Brittney and our family during what we know is a heartbreaking time,” Griner’s family said in a statement obtained by ESPN. “We pray for Paul and for all wrongfully detained Americans’ swift and safe return.”
U.S. officials have said they are still working to secure the release of Whelan, a U.S. Marine turned corporate security executive who was convicted of espionage and is serving a 16-year sentence in a Russian prison.[....]
Myself I wonder whether Whelan was doing CIA work; whatever it was, our government seems not to be able to level with the public about it...
Agence France Presse with the latest poop on Whelan
U.S. efforts to negotiate the freedom of a former Marine held in Russia as part of the swap involving basketball star Brittney Griner were thwarted by Moscow's demand for the release of a convicted murderer held in Germany, according to a top U.S. officialhttps://t.co/N8wkFc95k8
With Ukraine as partner we are helping to bring down the corrupt 800 year Russian Empire with no boots on the ground. Never thought we'd get this lucky. Guess Margie isn't big on US/EU security.
A leading Kazakh commentator says that if Russia invades Kazakhstan, there will be corpses of conscripts on the steppes
He accuses propagandists calling for nukes on Almaty and annexing northern/eastern Kazakhstan of bringing Russophobia on themselveshttps://t.co/72Z6gmWegc

Whelan's history is apparently problematic:
thread continues with lots of speculation...

Wow, not all of it's speculation.
And for those saying Trump would've gotten him out, why didn't he 3 yrs ago (with Butina or otherwise)
