"After five years in a Russian prison, American #MarcFogel is finally back home. The #WhiteHouse and the State Department are both adamant that Fogel’s release was not part of an #exchange. But all signs point to Russian money launderer #AlexanderVinnik being released from custody in California, and the #Kremlin said there was an exchange.
...it’s never a good sign when the American leadership is less truthful than #VladimirPutin.'
