@Shanninen @KeithDB80 @MuellerSheWrote Whalen holds passports in at least four countries and has been working abroad doing "security consulting" for years. It looks like he probably is a spy, and he probably isn't working for an American agency.
@KeithDB80 @MuellerSheWrote Paul Whalen also has citizenship/passports with several other countries and has been working abroad doing "security consulting" for years. He probably was spying in Russia, and he probably wasn't working for an American agency.
@DonM53513299@rhonda_harbison@johnrich Actually he made the right choice, because Paul Whalen (a dishonorably-discharged ex-Marine with passports in four countries) probably was spying in Russia and probably wasn't working for an American agency.
@Alan23065390@johnrich Paul Whelan is not a US Marine. He was court martialed, convicted, and dishonorably discharged from the Marine Corps in 2008 for committing larceny, fraud, dereliction of duty, and identity theft as part of a scheme to cheat on his service exams.
@donna_sparkleez @bennyjohnson Whelan also has citizenship and passports in at least 3 other countries and had been working as a "security consultant" internationally for years. He probably is a spy, and he's probably not working for an American agency.
@TX_Vet1@johnrich And since then he's been living and working abroad as a "security consultant" while holding active passports from at least four different countries. Whalen probably IS a spy, and not for any American agency.

@iamgregbach@johnrich Whalen also has passports in like 3 other countries and has lived abroad doing "security consulting" for years. He probably IS a spy, and probably not for the U.S. Biden made the right call.
@doubleffthis @KarenCaudill1@JeffRielley@JordanSchachtel Whalen also has passports in four different countries and has done "security consulting" abroad for years. Everything about this guy screams "spy", and I doubt he was working for an American agency.
@JeffRielley@KarenCaudill1@JordanSchachtel Seriously. The MAGA crowd is trying to paint this guy as a POW American hero. The reality is that he's a sketchy character who probably was spying in Russia - just not for the United States.
@KarenCaudill1@JeffRielley@JordanSchachtel Paul Whalen is a convicted criminal with passports from four different countries who'd been living in Russia for years working as a "private security consultant". He probably is a spy, but god knows for who.
@JordanSchachtel Paul Whalen was court martialed, convicted, and expelled from the Marine Corps in 2008 for committing multiple serious crimes including theft, fraud, and dereliction of duty. Biden made the right call.
@MicahhParsons11 You call Paul Whalen a "retired" Marine as if he left the Corps voluntarily in good standing. Guess you didn't know that he was actually court martialed, convicted, and expelled from the Marine Corps in 2008 for multiple crimes including theft, fraud, and dereliction of dity.
@manuretruck @AndyMcelheny@RoadRunnah617@ananavarro Whalen was probably spying in Russia, just not for the CIA. The guy is a convicted criminal and dishonorably-discharged ex-Marine who's worked in private security in Russia for a decade and has citizenship in like four countries. He could have been spying for anybody.
@GuySmileyMan @shelleymac911@ACTBrigitte@jrpsaki@POTUS@WhiteHouse So you would have preferred that Biden exchange the arms dealer for Paul Whalen, a convicted criminal who was expelled from the Marine Corps in 2008 for fraud and dereliction of duty after perpetrating a scheme to cheat on his service exams?
@blerbyx@shelleymac911@ACTBrigitte@jrpsaki@POTUS@WhiteHouse Trump had two years to negotiate Whalen's release and didn't lift a finger. None of you MAGA dipshits cared or even knew who Whalen was then, but now that Biden's president this guy suddenly becomes your #1 cause. No one's buying your fake outrage, bro.
