Cherelle Griner, the wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner, told CNN on Thursday she wants US officials to do whatever they have to do to bring the basketball legend home -- and she needs to see them do more.

In the only interview she is giving on the eve of her wife's trial in Russia, Cherelle Griner sat in the Phoenix Mercury locker room and called for more action.

"It's really, really difficult. This is not a situation where the rhetoric is matching the action," she said. "I do have to unfortunately push people to make sure that the things they're telling me is also matching their actions and so it's been the hardest thing to balance because I can't let up. It's over 130 days and BG's still not back."

Brittney Griner, 31, who has played in Russia during the WNBA's offseason, was arrested February 17 at a Moscow airport. Russian authorities claimed she had cannabis oil in her luggage and accused her of smuggling significant amounts of a narcotic substance, an offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

In the eyes of God, she can’t have a wife, nor can he have a husband. Her life will only continue to be a mess, until she repents and gets right with her Maker. Plus, her life after her physical death will be horrible, painful, burning...all without any respite, forever. Choose wisely.

Nah! From Cnn.com

God and Family, one man and and one women plus 3 to 4 children are Russia’s goals, with a christian upbringing.

I’n the US everything is about the destruction of family and God. I wonder who wins.

Biden does not care. No Dem official cares. Why? Because they know that dummies such as you and Brittany will STILL vote for them.

I think you need to divorce Russian goals from Russian reality. It is a country with a high abortion rate and a low birthrate. Homosexuals and drag queens are part of the Moscow scene. And Russia is a dictator-ruled terrorist state.

“The simple fact is Ma’am, if your ‘wife’ had not been packing illegal drugs as she entered this country, nothing would have happened, would it have?

Oh, Ms Cherelle, have you ever seen or heard of an old movie called “Midnight Express”? Your parents may have heard about it back in the 70’s. Ask them what they recall hearing.”

We want countries to follow the rule of law, except when we don’t.
