​ ​Russian MP suggests swapping WSJ reporter for Assange

​ ​The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich and the WikiLeaks publisher are both facing espionage charges.

If Moscow decides on a prisoner swap involving Evan Gershkovich, it should ask for Julian Assange’s release from a British dungeon, Russian State Duma Deputy Sergey Obuhkov said on Friday.​..Russian authorities detained Gershkovich in Ekaterinburg on March 30, saying they caught him “red-handed” in an act of espionage. A Lefortovo court has ordered the Moscow bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal to remain in custody for two months. He is appealing the decision and will face the judges again on April 18.

If DC were ever to say something that wasn't hypocritical I would be astonished.
