Pertinent quote from the OP:
The biggest mistake that Putin made in his offer today to effectively swap me for the 12 Russian agents is that he went to the wrong head of state. Although I was born in America, I emigrated to the United Kingdom 29 years ago and am a British citizen. If he really wants me, he better go talk to Theresa May, who might have a few choice words for him after Russian agents spread the military-grade nerve agent Novichok across the cathedral town of Salisbury, England.

Does anybody believe that Trump even knows that Mr. Browder is a British subject?
Good luck to you Mr. Browder! I hope you have a few fake IDs in your possession.

It's good to know he's a British citizen, but he still has to watch his back.

LOL. There is no "Hostage Congress". This is now mainstream Republican politics.

That sounds all too plausible. What a Le Carre novel we're living through...
