Joe Biden was asked today, “what do you say to the bipartisan criticism of the Griner swap?” He refused to answer, even though there are serious questions from both Republicans and Democrats about whether Biden’s swap has made our country less safe.
During today’s press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre had no answer for:
“How does this deal not send a message to Russia and to other governments that if they wrongfully detain American[s] ... they will have some of their most dangerous criminals, in this case the ‘Merchant of Death,’ released?”

No American should ever be wrongfully detained by villainous thugs, and it’s a good thing when they are freed. But the American people deserve answers from the Biden administration on this swap. So far, they have refused to answer basic questions, and that is unacceptable.
