MOSCOW, Russia — Houston native and WNBA star Brittney Griner has been freed as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, according to the White House.

Griner was exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, labeled the “Merchant of Death.” This was a one-for-one swap.

American and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan was not part of the exchange.

Too bad Slow Joe didn't care enough to free Paul Whelan. He didn't check off enough minority boxes.

Now she can come home and tell us how awful America is. I doubt she has learned anything.

Brave Brittney. Survived the gulag. Her book is being written for her as I type this.

A waste of a trade. If we think of this as chess we gave the Russians a bishop and we got a pawn in return.

Holy crap!!! Bad trade. Really bad trade. I sincerely hope Griner realizes her freedom will probably cost lives and will be payed with the blood of innocent people if the “Merchant of Death” goes free and resumes his career as a prolific gun runner.

So... the Democrats are willing to release an arms dealer known as the "Merchant of Death" in exchange for her?

This sends a clear message around the world. Expect the cartel countries to start arresting black lesbian drug smugglers any time they need to get one of their own sprung from a U.S. prison.

Guantanamo Bay is going to be emptied in six months.

I can foresee she/he/it coming back more arrogant and entitles than ever, with an “up yours, America” attitude. Nothing learned, nothing changed.

Russia gets an arms dealer and we get a woke America hating basketball player - seems fair.

She will be praising how great America is on camera. The book & movie deals will start to roll in. Once the money starts to pour in she will go back to the America hating queer she has always been. No sympathy.

A Russki Arms dealer for a lesbian pothead basketball player. The NBA would be laughing its ass off over that trade. The White House pedophile doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.

I prefer the Saudi method of punishing a gun-runner.

Just great, a notorious arms dealer is now on the loose. Good thing we have that America hating, druggie, lesbian, basketball player back.

She will do the sit down with Oprah who will make her out to be a victim of “white supremacy” and “anti-LGBT bias”, how everything about her arrest and conviction was based on racism and bias and Time magazine will do a cover photo of her in slave chains and equate her to Mandela as she raises her fist in the air. I’m getting nauseous already

In 2020, the MSM considered it “dangerous” for Trump to consider swapping the Russian weapons trader Bout for Paul Whelan, a Marine. Now Biden swaps the weapons trader for a LGBT basketball player; leaves Whelan behind. What a sorry ass trade.
