MOSCOW, Russia — Houston native and WNBA star Brittney Griner has been freed as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, according to the White House.

Griner was exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, labeled the “Merchant of Death.” This was a one-for-one swap.

American and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan was not part of the exchange.

Biden had a choice between getting Griner or ex Marine Paul Whealen. But that won’t be reported.

Is there no act of heroism beyond JoJo’a herculean reach? The guy’s a damn superhero, that’s what he is.

Wish I could not vote for him again.

And even more offensive to the Biden regime, a Marine and a former cop.

That just rewards the kidnapping and brings more of it.

We’ve already got more than enough war criminals of our own.

“Merchant of Death” goes free and resumes his career as a prolific gun runner.

If he runs a few to me, I'm cool with it.

Why? She/He hates America.
Should have let her rot in a Russian Prison.

“Another victory for Biden!”
“I’m so proud of my President and his people.”
“YAY! So happy for her! Thanks, President Biden!!”

Oh great, Houston will have a parade for her and shut down the schools that day. Wonder if they will call it the “Welcome Home our International Drug Smuggler Female of the Year”.

She’s freed, alright. I hope she learned something and I further hope we never hear her name again.

Paul Whelan should have announced that he is a tranny and he could have gotten bumped to the front of the line.

Forget about that, I expect her to be appointed to some kind of Federal TRAVEL ADVISORY position. Griner will be on every talk show, every newspaper, and every mainstream media. That will just be the beginning, Then comes the BOOK DEAL.

Whelan could choose plural pronouns for an edge on the prisoner swap hierarchy.

Oh for pity’s sake, we have much better villians than that guy now operating for us.

She will come back and slobber all over that pervert usurping the White House.

Was the movie with Nicholas Cage “Lord of War” loosely based on this guy that we just released?
