I’ve noticed that people everywhere are thinking she got busted ‘for a little weed’, but she was arrested for possession of hashish oil.
Even in the US hash is a narcotic level drug (or was, been a long time since I’ve seen that kind of stuff). You can get 5 years for hash in Florida.

Seems more effort is going into trying to free an admitted drug user and drug law violator than Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

Maybe she needs to be singing the the theme to Baretta (although Blake didn’t have to “do the time”), “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time . . .”

“...because of the sensitivity of the issue.”

Oh right... very sensitive...a drug addict smuggling drugs into the country. Pretty common actually...they look for smugglers.

I’m not a fan of Richardson but he is one of the first calls I make if I become a political prisoner.

Why should Putin let her go? Biden has been out there trashing him on a daily basis, blaming him for inflation and high gas prices, and at one point said said that he’s got to be thrown out of power. Biden is providing Ukraine with weapons that are being used against the Russian military. Putin knows that if he releases Brittany Griner, Biden will take a victory lap and say that he got him to back down. The longer she stays locked up, the worse it will be between Biden and his base, who feel that Slow Joe isn’t doing enough to bring her home. Putin knows this, and will continue to let Biden twist in the wind.

I hope the Russians tell him to pound sand, and that Griner just had 10 more years added to her sentence.

Bill the liar Richardson, still trying to remain relevant. He lied about having been drafted as a pitcher by the Kansas City Athletics in 1966. Sent by his boss Bill to help Monica find a job. Had to withdraw his nomination for Obama’s Secretary of Commerce in 2009 because he was under Federal grand jury investigation for pay-to-play schemes, that awarded contracts to an investment company named CDR, and also USB, which saw hundreds of thousands of dollars from them deposited with his PAC. He’s another Clinton grifter, trying to get a new 15 minutes of fame for himself, while filling his own pockets with cash, while pretending to be an accomplished negotiator.

As long as we're sending weapons and weapon systems to Ukraine and trying to kill Russian troops, I doubt very seriously these talks are going anywhere.

“Obama is an immigrant” - Bill Richardson"

Richardson's Presidential supporters apparently cut a deal with Obama's people during the Iowa caucuses in 2008. Clinton was livid because with the agreement, she ended up coming in third to Obama and John Edwards. He must have felt the heat, because when Hillary ran in 2016, initially, he was reluctant to endorse her, but then came crawling back. I wonder how much his palms were greased by the Clintons.

Does Bill still sport that El Diablo beard to make himself look like a terrorist?? Hope he's not carrying any contraband when he gets to Russia. Now that would be embarrassing.

Richardson was also present documented with Schmidt (former ceo Google) in North Korea setting up a espionage node within the company— as later determined by cyber investigation. Schmidt has quite google some time ago and is trying to change his citizenship to Cyprus. And out of nowhere now comes this idiot Leftist tootie Richardson to “save” another freak tootie from a drug charge. They will not listen to him.

Isn’t Bill Richardson the one who was caught smuggling documents out of a secured room by stuffing them down the leg of his pants?

If so, I suggest the Russians do a strip search when he leaves the country.

(Clinton was livid because with the agreement, she ended up coming in third to Obama and John Edwards.)

Wonder what the dates were in relation to that a the stairway partially-deployed on Obama’s airplane ✈️?
