They say he brought in PKK pamphlets but I doubly it. They probably arrested him by just being a pastor or he didn’t bribe anyone. Anyway why the Turkish gov is holding him now, I’m not sure, but probably to show strength or whatever Erdogan thinks is good foreign policy.

Erdogan himself have pretty much said that Brunson is a hostage to be traded for Fethullah Gülen, so whatever people may think of Trump, his action toward Turkey are 100% justified.

Michael Flynn wanted Gülen extradited, so I'm surprised Trump hasn't done that yet.

Gülen should've fled to Canada before Trump took office.

He won't be extradited for a pretty simple reason, it would make Trump look weak.
