Trump: Brittney Griner prisoner swap for ‘Merchant of Death’ doesn’t ‘seem like a very good trade’
The New York Post ^ | 07.31.2022 | Andrew Mark Miller,

Former President Donald Trump suggested that the proposed prisoner swap between Russia and the United States that would return jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner in exchange for a Russian arms dealer “doesn’t seem like a very good trade.”

“She knew you don’t go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it,” Trump told the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. “I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn’t seem like a very good trade, does it? He’s absolutely one of the worst in the world, and he’s gonna be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs.”

I agree with him on this, this would be the United States being complicit in the future crimes of this arms dealer, and for what? A basketball player who disregarded the laws of Russia because she thought she was above the law, untouchable! This is just unbelievable.

The swap would also include a CIA spy, Paul Whelan.

Yes, he’s 1,000% confirmed CIA, despite any MSM denials.

If you think Whelan was just an innocent tourist, I own a tunnel in NYC I’ll sell you cheap.

Brittny Griner is just window dressing, a shiny squirrel to divert celebrity hound Americans.

It’s a Russian arms dealer for an American CIA spy.

See #3. Griner is just the official celebrity diversion and side show.

It’s a Russian arms dealer for a CIA spy, period.

That’s because in this country she was untouchable.

Kids growing up spoiled are always surprised when they have to face the actual consequences of their actions for the first time in their lives.

Not a good trade?
What do you think? Will Biden sweeten the pot?

Seriously, what kind of BS is this? We have tons of people right now in prison for marijuana offenses but she gets special treatment? Is she going to be prosecuted when she gets back to the USA? Like hell she will. Sounds to me once again Joe Robinette is siding with the enemy this time using this trade off as an excuse.

Maybe if they gave Griner a nickname like the ‘Merchant of Dope’ it would sound like a better deal.

The ‘cause celebre’……Yes

But that doesn’t negate the basic instinct of many Americans who think she got what was coming to her (in Russia) …because she sure wouldn’t be getting it here.

Trump was right!

I have relatives that went to Baylor while she was there. She was an arrogant bitch (?) and got away with a lot of minor criminal mischief while she was there. She was coddled by the coaches and administration.

Yes, but can you imagine the uproar from certain groups if Russia agreed to the arms dealer for CIA spy only.

To biden she is more important than an arms dealer. She checks three very important boxes. biden is obsessed with those boxes-he chose a VP, press secretary, commerce secretary and court justice only because they ticked one or more of those boxes.

biden hates this country.

Paul McCartney spent a week in a Japanese jail for brazenly bringing in some pot. Couda been 7 years. Lesson taught. Will Griner learn? She’ll come back a celebrity. Do color comments for NBA, not WNBA. Nobody watches.
