I heard Candace Owens is feeling sorry for “her.”
Bad move. Griner was probably being uncooperative and entitled so they took further action.

Briefly, from the information I have, Griner displayed a bad attitude at the time of the discovery of Hash oil in Griner's luggage, and for about a day and a half afterward.

Apparently, Griner was provided a Russian lawyer for advise/representation.

After this, Griner admitted guilt and apologized for the infraction and attitude. At that point Griner was scheduled to serve less than six months in jail (not prison), pay a fine and be deported from Russia.

THEN the US State Department and Biden got involved and shot their big mouths off, and insisted on Mainstream Media Front Page Diplomacy, rather than the standard private conversations between diplomats.

So Griner, and Griner's supporters, can thank Biden and State for eight years hard labor, and no swaps.
