After getting her out was she grateful no she complained why he took so long and blamed people. She was warned not to go to Iran but did she listen no.

I think everyone is missing a very insidious insinuation in this deal. Russia wasn't giving up Whelan no matter what. They don't intend to. He's been there for 4 years which means even the previous president couldn't get him home, even with Bout as a bargaining chip. Russia said they wanted a spy for the spy. The US countered with not having a spy to swap. Let that sink in for a moment. If they're holding him to swap for a spy that we don't have in custody... that means there is very likely a Russian spy in the US that hasn't been caught and they're holding Whelan so they have one to trade.
