You realize the CIA has been dealing arms to third-world insurgents since the 1950s. But I guess that's ok because they're legally authorized to do covert deals. Very hypocritical to make a big deal out of releasing a Russian arms dealer when our own government has been doing it for decades.

And I thought what she had was just CBD in which there is little or no THC and which is totally legal in the U.S., though I maybe wrong about what she had.

It's all just a political ploy by Russia. She did nothing wrong; she simply made a mistake.
