The terms to use referring to Browder and McFaul- "whistleblowers" and "Putin's political enemies"

They are whistleblowers on Russian government corruption and purely political enemies of Vladimir Putin. There is no justification whatsoever for the US extraditing them or arranging for Russia to have any access to them.

McFaul isn't a whistleblower. He's a man in the know.

ETA: This is about Trump, not Putin.

based in large part on the personal knowledge he developed through his work. Yes, he's a whistleblower.

Further, with each new piece of information we learn, this becomes more about Putin than Trump. Trump is the symptom of the way our democracy is being attacked and undermined by Putin.

Stop trying to pass the blame to a foreign government!
.
Our President is a feckless shithead who doesn't believe in diplomacy and is trying to cover his own ass by allowing McFaul to be impugned by Russia.

This is all about Trump being a pussy

Please tell me where my assessment is wrong.
