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.

Putin will be inclined to do nothing even if Biden came on his knees. Biden and the Neocons have sone everything to sour relations with Russia so no diplomatic intervention will help at all. She is probably going to jail in Russia unless her sentence is commuted by Putin and he sends her back.
Putin has no reason to commute her sentence and send her back NO REASON at all!! This is a very stupid girl having drugs in a foreign country!!
I wonder if they force her to listen to the USA National Anthem every day she’s locked up.
She is not a legend. At least not in the meaning I understand.
I guess it’s an unpopular opinion here but this reeks of a straight up North Korea style move to take a US citizen on BS charges so you can use them as a bargaining chip. I don’t support letting US citizens rot for nothing because some country thinks they can sell him/her back to us.
I don’t think he will either, so she goes to Siberia to work in a salt mine for 30 years.
She’s not much of a bargaining chip, no one really cares, especially the Biden Administration.
Amen bro.
To her, a fate worse than death. 🤭🤗😀
Would hope she’d have a greater appreciation for the freedoms she spits on here in America but she she’s a leftists look so she’ll learn nothing.

Such stuffing often happens in order to give this or that signal, or to look at the reaction. It seems that the confrontation between the office of the president and the military command is entering a new phase. One can only guess what result those who initiated the stuffing could get. However, the addressee, judging by the time, was someone in a different time zone.
Urgent news. Today at 22.47 a car was blown up on Mikhail Grushevsky Street in Kyiv. The driver and two passengers were killed. Experts are working on the spot, the identity of the dead is being established. According to unconfirmed information, Valery Zaluzhny was in the car along with his deputy and the driver.
The reason could be a conflict within the elites of Ukraine. In particular, Zaluzhny opposed the idea of the OP, about a suicidal approach to Serpentine, after the release of the Russian army.
We will monitor the situation.
Her wife???

I know. I can’t get used to hearing such incongruous terms.
Probably Brittney screwed up. She was arrested in February 17, one week before the war. Then they realized that she has some value as a bargaining chip. Especially since Russ is is back in a "cold war" with the West.
Let Max Boot get her out.
She had the dope. The Russkis already provided evidence to the USG of this.
apparently there were “cartridges” whatever that means....I’m out of the loop on drugs....
how can she be a bargaining chip when most people don’t even know who she is....she’s got more fame from this episode then here whole career....

If the Russians KEEP her, we'll do something they want.
Sort of like "The Ransom of Little Red Chief".
Don't tell the Russian trolls, on this site.
