I do not believe anything coming from Russia [View all]

I do not believe that they are so much more adept at finding drugs that was missed at airports in other countries.

I refuse to give this corrupt government the benefit of the doubt.

Before BG, there was Marc Fogel who was sentenced to 14 years. He should be included in any swap. Before Marc, there was Naama Issachar.An American-Israeli citizen , who was sentenced to 7.5 years before she was traded for a Russian cyber criminal.

They all have almost identical situations. Somehow the Russians were able to find drugs that got missed at other airports before they arrived in Russia.

I will wait to hear BG and Marc tell their own story when they are no longer under duress. But even then, I suspect they may be prevented from telling the truth as maintaining their guilt may be a condition of the swap.
