Vlad poops on buddy Trump?

CNN
> It was Trump, of course, who had publicly told Putin not to release the American hostages until after he was elected in November. Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, Trump said, would be “released almost immediately after the election, but definitely before I assume office. ... Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, will do that for me, but not for anyone else."

Now Trump & the "weirdo" Republican party is rolling out every possible vintage whine they can imagine, demanding details, but before getting them accusing Putin of getting paid, or of the US releasing murderers, or blathering about how the US never makes good deals. ALL SOUR GRAPES that Putin cut him out of the deal. Trump has lines ready to go to complain or point blame away from him given any eventuality.
