    How many murderers and weapons dealers did Russia get free in this deal?
  • @leewestrope4624
    she was offered as a swap participant , but it was firmly rejected, they didn;t want her either!
  • Her role was significantly significant. As significant as all significant significance. It was an opportunity to work together, to do the work that needed to be worked on together. So the prisoners could get to where they need to go to get where they are going, on a bus that has wifi and usb chargers next to every seat!!

Hmmm all of a sudden "Ooooh, a " historic prisoner swap"! Gimme a break! Whatever it took just happy for American prisoners release!

    Didn't Biden say his administration had nothing to do with this ??? Am I wrong ???
  • @DarkPassenger
    I don't think Kamala or Joe were allowed in the room during the negotiations....

    She unburdened our burdens by what has been burdened over a passage of time
  • @musicmangm7572
    There's nothing I am more sure of than the fact that she had nothing to do with this!
  • @lukedaniell
    It was moderately successful. That's how you know she had nothing to do with it.

  • @FactsorDie
    Wouldn’t be the first time this administration has given up a whole lot to make sure that our country is more weak

    Depends on who one talks to. If you talk to the DNC or CBS , Border Czar Harris put the whole thing together. But, in reality, she, like she normally does, didn't do squat.
