After President Joe Biden announced that the United States would release a Russian arms dealer known as the "Merchant of Death" in exchange for WNBA player Brittney Griner on Thursday morning, some within the president's administration — as well as a notable Democrat lawmaker on Capitol Hill — slammed the lopsided trade.
As a refresher, Viktor "Merchant of Death" Bout was serving a 25-year prison sentence for conspiring to kill Americans, trafficking anti-aircraft missiles, and providing material support to terrorists.
Not exactly the kind of guy who, as a newly-free man, has likely been reformed during his stint in the slammer. In August of this year, the man who oversaw the effort to capture Bout wrote in Foreign Policy that if Biden traded the "Merchant of Death," such a decision "wouldn’t just be a slap in the face of the law enforcement officers and operatives who labored to bring Bout down, many of them risking their lives in the process" but "would also pose a grave threat to the national security of the United States and its allies."
To wit, a "senior Defense Department official" quoted by Politico said that "there is a concern that [Bout] would return to doing the same kind of work that he’s done in the past." Despite staying anonymous, the concerns apparently spreading at the Pentagon are also shared by named Democrats as well.
