Brittney Griner freed from Russia in prisoner exchange

Viktor Bout, a convicted arms dealer, has been deported from U.S. to secure Griner's release

Russia freed WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday in a dramatic high-level prisoner exchange, with the United States releasing notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

The swap, at a time of heightened tensions over Ukraine, achieved a top goal for U.S. President Joe Biden, but carried a heavy price — and left behind an American jailed for nearly four years in Russia, Paul Whelan, who also holds Canadian citizenship.

President Biden tweeted a photo from the White House with Griner's spouse, Cherelle Griner, and then spoke about the development from the White House.
"Pretty soon she'll back in the arms of her loved ones, and she should've been there all along," said Biden.

Biden said Griner's "relieved to finally be heading home," after speaking by phone with her.

Cherelle Griner said she was "overwhelmed with emotions," expressing gratitude to White House and U.S. State Department officials.

... another example of one of the most successful Presidents in US history making good things happen.

Elon Musk reacts after Biden swaps Russian arms dealer for WNBA star Brittney Griner: 'Never leave a Marine behind'

In the deal announced Thursday, President Biden agreed to release Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Griner

... Elon and a lot of other Republican mouthpieces now probably regret commenting on this issue before they knew all of the facts. The release of Paul Whelan, US ex Marine held in a Soviet jail , was never dependent on what the USA did.

Russia wants one of their spies held in a West German jail for murdering a Polish national released. This Russian spy is not in US custody and after a request from the US gov't, West Germany declined to release this prisoner serving a life sentence.

There is a the possibility of a future prisoner exchange swap that could include Whelan.
