Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is planning to travel to Russia in the near future for talks aimed at finding a deal to free the detained WNBA star Brittney Griner, a source with knowledge of the proposed trip told ABC News.
Richardson, who also served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and energy secretary in the Clinton administration, played a role in achieving a prisoner exchange in April that saw Russia release former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed after nearly two and a half years in captivity.
He is expected to go to Moscow in the next couple of weeks, according to the source, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Russia has repeatedly suggested it's interested in trading Griner for Russians held in U.S. prisons. The new trip appears aimed at seeing if a similar deal to the one that freed Reed could be produced for Griner.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense with this administration. Trade a druggie America hating moron for people who who have committed espionage against America. A real win-win.

I hope he is arrested too. She broke the law. She hates America. Leave her there.
To: Enterprise
Somebody posted a picture of her getting arrested.
She looked at little shocked.
I guess “Locked Up Abroad” stories about illegal substances in foreign countries had no effect.

If he gets her out during a proxy war between the US and Russia, I will conclude that there is a lot more collusion going between the two countries than we know about.

Did he take Epstein’s plane to Russia?

Imo, itโs likely Trump already successfully negotiated a deal and the feds won't implement it out of hatred.

Richardson would not be going to Moscow if a deal had not yet been reached.
To: Enterprise
Maybe the Russians will imprison that RINO, too.
They’d be doing us a favor.
Good riddance.

You’d think she would find a kindred spirit with the Russian leadership?

Yep. This administration will pull out all the stops to get Brittney Griner released. It will cost the U.S. tax payer millions of dollars. Griner will profit off of this, just you watch.
