Some one wants to get a huge ransom for kidnapping her.

She gets 9 years, and all the black athletes in professional sports, many of them millionaires, will fund raise to pay the future extortion fee to some Russian oligarch. The Russians know how to play these liberals and lefties here in the USA.

Griner will be home by New Years 2023.

After someone pleads guilty, I think you can drop the “allegedly”.

Maybe when she gets home she won’t mind our anthem so much.

I'm surprised she wants to come back, they all pledge to leave when Trump is President.

I doubt the Russians are in any big hurry.

************

Agree. The Ruskies know just how much Joe & Company want her back before the election so they can score points with black voters. They’re not going to give him that card to play.

Of course if the Left have their way, by the time Griner gets back we’d have a new anthem.

Russians came to add to the list...wanted their agent guy held in Berlin for murder on the release list. Germans were telling Blinken a blunt-NO. This whole thing has become a comedy now.

“She” didn’t realize the black athlete exemption isn’t in effect in Russia.

I could not care less if they let her rot in a Russian prison forever.

That'll be just one less anti-American here actively destroying our country. Good riddance, Griner.

The Russians are playing senior Biden like an old dust ball. I hope this “he/she/it “ (third ) world super slob gets at least a four year vacation in Russia’s version of the Hanoi Hilton.

Back in the day, anytime we went outside the US (business travel) we were given a briefing & reading material on the do’s and don’ts of other countries/cultures.

Yep. And I don’t think they even had to tell us not to bring controlled substances. That’s a common sense thing.

If they were smart (on the world stage) they would sentence her to time served and immediate deportation, and prohibit her from traveling to Russia ever again.

Went to London four years ago. Minded my manners and kept reminding myself I wasn’t in the US.

Because of the LGBTQRS lobby Biden will trade Alaska to Russia to get her back so he can be the hero of the queers. I’d let her rot.

Any chance this arrest and show trial and heavy sentence was intended *all along* to mobilize the wokey weepers in the US and to pressurize the Big Guy to do an unwise prisoner swap? Win Win for the other guys, eh?
