This is beyond the pale.
Trump-why not work thru proper US channels and get #EvanGershkovich now?
And why didnt Putin release #PaulWhelan who was imprisoned during your time in office?
Paul Whelan is still imprisoned in Russia.

He doesnt care about Evan Gershkovich, its just about him not going to jail. I hope people see how cruel this is.
