President Donald Trump confirmed that he did intervene with China President Xi Jinping in the case of three UCLA basketball players who were arrested after shoplifting in China and those players are set to leave the country.
LiAngelo Ball, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, were arrested last Tuesday for allegedly stealing from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team's hotel in Hangzhou before their season opener against Georgia Tech.

On the other hand, if the presidents expects any thanks or credit from BLM, media, democrats, or African-Americans in general (all the same group basically) he is going to be out of luck.
I would prefer the idiot criminals did the time. All of it. Just because they play a stupid game well doesnt mean they should get a pass for everything. They are just going to be angry entitled millionaires who hate America and all things white anyway.
It is amazing these retards can get a sports scholarship yet they are stupid to be shop lifting in a foreign nation. You can take them out of the hood but you cannot take the hood out of them
What a waste of President Trump’s time. These loser ferals need some consequences .
Or, send them to USC, simultaneously raising the IQ of both schools.
IIUC, he asked that the resolution of the case be expedited, as the Chinese legal system could have taken months to resolve it. He did not request any amnesty.
I look at "first time offenders" as being "first time caught doing it,"
Din Du scofflaws thinking the Chinese play by American Liberal rules get bigly wake up call...we will see if the UCLA Lefties have the guts to revoke their scholarships..as they should.....perhaps a year or two of Jr. College ball will do them good.
They are American citizens so I don’t think Trump should turn his back on them.
When we were stationed overseas with the military, we were told in no uncertain terms, that the US would not step in to “save us” should we break the law. The embassy would assure our health and well being, but we knew good and well we’d face that country’s justice system should we break the law.
Nothing wrong with leaving them there. They reflected poorly on our country and their school and team. Time for them to face the music.
