What was controversial about the recent US-Russia prisoner swap involving American teacher Mark Fogel? - FinalLayer

The prisoner swap was controversial because the US released Alexander Vinnick, a notorious Russian cybercrime kingpin, in exchange for Mark Fogel, an American teacher who was wrongfully detained for three years simply for carrying medically prescribed marijuana. Jordan Klepper humorously highlights the absurdity of this trade by comparing it to a sports team trading their star player for a teacher, emphasizing the seemingly unequal nature of the exchange and questioning the logic behind trading a high-level cybercriminal for someone imprisoned on minor drug charges.
