the white house are commenting on what the focus of those talks, but we know paul whelen and brittney griner are being held. ambassador richardson was helpful in freeing trevor reed. what's the value or the utility of richardson for the russians versus what they could get from a dip catdiplomat from the stat department? >> i think it's precisely because he is not a diplomat from the state department. what the russians are saying is we want to use the usual channels, we want to do it quietly. remember you and i and other anchors had a great discussion on this about a month ago when it was all very public, how will president biden get brittney griner and paul whelen out. then it was very clear that that public diplomacy really wasn't working. the russians were furious about it. so it kind of went behind the scenes which doesn't mean that it's not very important what's happening. in fact, i think that visit by mr. richardson, the former ambassador, is very important, that this conversation continue, but probably that it not be public at this very, very delicate time. >> the u.s. put that prison
