Brittney Griner detention: WNBA star's wife wants Biden admin to follow through on rhetoric (Brandon hasn't called Putin)
Fox News ^ | 6/23/22 | Ryan Gaydos

Posted on 06/23/2022 4:00:50 PM PDT by Libloather

Cherelle Griner, the wife of Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia since February, said Wednesday she wants the Biden administration to walk the walk if it's going to talk the talk.

Cherelle Griner appeared on MSNBC and explained her feelings while her wife has been detained. The U.S. State Department reclassified the WNBA player's status as being "wrongfully detained," opening the door for negotiations for her release.

"So, what I believe that the Biden administration can do differently is to actually take the words and the rhetoric that they have and match them together," Cherelle Griner said.

"For example, an American that’s deemed wrongfully detained, to my understanding, from what the State Department is saying, America will negotiate their release. It’s not a maybe. It’s a will. They will negotiate for their release."

She added that her push was to get the Biden administration to do "exactly that" – negotiate her wife’s release.

She said he hadn’t spoken with President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris at all during the ordeal despite multiple requests.

"The person that has the power - the Biden administration itself, being President Biden, Vice President Harris - I have not spoken to them. I have asked. I have requested. And, at this point, it almost feels like they’re indirectly telling me no," she said.

"It almost feels like, indirectly, they have told us as a family they will not be with us, despite the fact that everybody is saying — when I do speak to people — BG is a top priority. We know she’s wrongfully detained. We’re doing everything. But the people that have the highest power, no, they have not spoken to me and my family."

From what I just read, Brittney is now considered to be a 'political prisoner' by some. Just wondering - will our political prisoners be released after the RATS get stomped in November?

Sh was arrested on drug charges. She has poor timing because I doubt Putin is taking calls from Joe and his gang.

Did she get caught bringing it in with her? Or did she buy it from Ivan Sativavitch over in Gorky Park?

Yep, drugs. Not serious ones, but still a violation of the laws of Russia. I'm sure she was briefed on this before travelling to Russia. But she probably thought that they would treat it as a small thing. Wrong.

Oh, and the State Department's status change to 'wrongfully detained' is crap.

"dont smoke dope if you dont want to be arrested."

Also, don't carry illegal drugs in a suitcase while traveling in foreign countries:

The Phoenix Mercury basketball player was detained in Russia on Feb. 17
on accusations that she had hashish oil in her luggage.

A- women don’t have wives, just for the record

B- when going to a totalitarian country which does not cater to homosexuals and is on very bad terms with the United Sate, DO NOT carry drugs.

C- Stop being stupid in believing that, when leftist fascists publicly pay homage to your sexual fetishes to get your vote, it means they actually care about you. Honor and loyalty are two characteristics that cannot be attributed to the left.

She violated Russian criminal law and deserves to be punished accordingly. An American passport is not a “Get Out of Jail Free” card

Can you blame her? Ever since Saint Floyd, blacks have been given the green light to break any laws they want.

She probably assumed this applied overseas as well.

“Can you blame her?”

Does nobody else doubt that the athlete in question is a front hole person who menstruates?

Joe has been demonizing Putin since January. Does anyone with any sense think Joe is going to call Putin and get this chick out of the Klink?

I hope Brittany’s wife has a plan B.

She hates America and loves "socialism," by her own words.

She should enjoy her extended field trip to the Land of Lenin!
