Saudi Crown Prince brokered deal to swap WNBA star Brittney Griner for Merchant of Death arms dealer Viktor Bout - who walked past each other on UAE airport tarmac - two days after America dropped Khashoggi lawsuit against the Saudi leader
quote:
The negotiations were reportedly mediated by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the United Arab Emirates' President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, according to Arab News.
A senior administration official would not comment directly on MBS's role but said the U.S. will 'continue to lean on partners around the world' to secure the release of unjustly detailed Americans.
The swap happened at Abu Dhabi airport, where Griner and Bout had to walked past each other to reach their respective parties on the airport tarmac, Russian state media reports.

Asked directly about the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince's role in the negotiations, a senior administration official said: 'In the course of getting to this happy result with respect to Brittney, and in the course of working to secure the release of Paul, as we continue to do, we have and I'm sure we'll continue to lean on partners around the world to work this through with us, to give us their ideas, and to impress upon the Russians how important it is to us to resolve these sorts of cases.'
'And we appreciate when those partners do help us. And I'll leave it there.'
Reports that MBS helped broker the deal came two days after a US federal judge rejected a lawsuit against him and other Saudi officials over Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi's violent death.

Putin would have taken Trump's direct call.

Glad he didn't if this trade was the only way to do it. I wouldn't have traded viktor for a court-marshaled dishonorably discharged marine and britney and Marc fogel

Two years later, and still rent-free.
And it’s far and away the least valuable property he owns.

They might get everything being sent to Ukraine, for pennies on the dollar. That would be quite the business deal.

Except she was justly detained at airport for having weed vape pens. Paul Whelan was nabbed during a wedding trip for no apparent reason.

He was arrested for having a USB stick with a list of russian covert operatives on it. The question is did his friend plant it on him to get a promotion or not?
Also he had $80,000 on him

Always wondered what exactly was going on with that guy. Hope we can get him home soon though.

Its weird because from an article in 2019 when they arrested him they told him not to worry because he would be traded soon (i guess he told the ambassador this). If they were just arresting him to negotiate a prisoner trade why have they refused all offers
He couldn't have been a US spy, because it would have been impossible for him to get security clearance after his military discharge
