I don't want to get into total specific here... But She checks all the political boxes for the current administration's identity based approach to garnering votes. The timing is irrelevant. The optics are relevant... and it's dumb. She was only targeted for release because of who she is, and what she represents to the current political identity in power... If she was the opposite of who she was... She'd still be in a Russian jail...
And don't get me wrong... I am glad we have one less American in a Russian Jail, but what we gave up and why we gave it up... Is everything that's wrong with politics in this country.
