(MS)NBC reporting right now that it's confirmed that both have been released and are in US custody.

It doesn’t matter what we gave up in return. The GOPers wailing for the release of Whelan will say whatever we give up will be too much.

It’s a bad deal the worstest even, something so bad only Joe Biden could negotiate for it. Hugely bad deal.

How do we get out of the cycle where we arrest a legitimate Russian spy / criminal and they respond by arresting a random American and claiming he/she was a spy?

Seems like this will just continue to happen.

I certainly would never step foot in Putin’s Russia.

Yeah, you couldn't pay me enough to set foot in Russia. That said, I guess we need non-spy's going over there so that we can also send spies?
