Post-America frees his sorry a-- and the first thing he does is go on a moral-equivalence rant

Then again, the Freedom-Haters with whom he flew back here (Secretary Global-test, Leahy, Van Hollen) and the squish Pub (Flake) are on the same page regarding that "five and a half decades of mutual belligerence," so no one was on the scene to detect any ingratitude.

And Gross's own pedigree has that familiar odor wafting from it:

Gross was reportedly a subcontractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development, a home for meddling leftist crackpots.  He reportedly worked on a program aimed at improving internet access for Cuban Jews.  The free flow of information is a threat to any totalitarian regime, so a Cuban court convicted Gross of crimes against the state in 2011, imposing a 15-year prison sentence.

And his attorney saw no need to cover or remove the Che portrait on his office wall while he and Gross prepared those remarks.

The odor becomes a stench.
