That dude’s a hard core Red Hat. ‘God Save President Trump’ on his Twitter feed.

What are the chances that the ‘indictment’ and subsequent ‘swap’ (if it comes to that) are basically using this guy, with his permission, as a chip to get Butina back on Russian soil?

The whole thing smells funny. Staged, even.

Kind of a weird comment from Whelan’s lawyer about Maria Butina, when asked whether he would welcome a prisoner exchange. “I myself hope that we can rescue and bring home one Russian soul.” https://t.co/NYoKQY0EpC
