 PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS HINTED BROADLY THAT RUSSIA WOULD BE WILLING TO LET GERSHKOVICH GO IN A PRISONER SWAP, AND THERE'S BEEN SPECULATION HE COULD BE TRADED FOR A KGB AGENT WHO'S CURRENTLY DOING JAIL TIME IN GERMANY FOR A POLITICAL ASSASSINATION. THE RUSSIANS ALSO SAID NO DEAL WOULD BE DONE UNTIL THE TRIAL WAS OVER. WELL, IT'S NOW OVER, BUT THERE'S STILL NO KNOWING HOW MUCH OR IF THIS GETS EVAN GERSHKOVICH ANY CLOSER TO FREEDOM. REID?
