Russia freed WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday in a dramatic high-level prisoner exchange, with the U.S. releasing notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, American officials said. The swap, at a time of heightened tensions over Ukraine, achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden, but carried a heavy price – and left behind an American jailed for nearly four years in Russia.
The deal, the second such exchange in eight months with Russia, procured the release of the most prominent American detained abroad. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist whose monthslong imprisonment on drug charges brought unprecedented attention to the population of wrongful detainees.
"Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner. She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home," Biden tweeted Thursday morning.

You may be right, however the Prog Socialist Left, the Biden Regime, the Deep Swamp and the Traitor Democrat Media will always Lie and Gaslight America and Americans, so you'll have to rely on non Western Media to find out.
Now she can go back to defecating on the American Flag.
Can we work out a similar deal for the release of the January 9 prisoners still held incommunicado in the Washington Gulag?
They should try playing naked.
I wonder if the media will call Victor a ‘businessman’, in order to hide our defeat.
Wonderful news!
Hopefully Putin tasks Bout to take out Zelensky and save us billions of dollars.
Is there no low that this administration won't sink to?
She probably needs oil.
Did Biden get the former Marine in Russia jail out too?
Yep, he trusted the wrong people.
Finally, a Biden administration “success” . . .
She wasn't endangered by having to go to Russia.
She was endangered by her own arrogance and stupidity which led to being caught with illegal drugs.
But now that she has been released she should announce she now identifies as a male and demand she be allowed to play in the NBA.
She could start a new movement of manly women and girls demanding they be allowed on men's teams and be allowed to use the men's and boy's toilets and changing rooms!
How could they be denied because the reverse (men playing on women's teams) is already allowed in sports from school level to pro level.
Paul Whalen was imprisoned in 2018, two years before Biden took office.
Don't know.
Do know Biden drones Afghan Aid Workers and Children:
US military admits it killed 10 civilians, 7 children, and targeted wrong vehicle in Kabul airstrike
COrrection :
An American representing Biden Values and Policy has been Freed !
Firearms and deadly force versus Cannabis residue,
while the remaining American prisoner remains behind.
Hail to Biden, the Great Negotiator ! (in hisown mind).
Trump would have had her back months ago, and made Russia pay for her airfare.
...dramatic high-level prisoner exchange....?

arms dealer Viktor Bout. Bout gained infamy as the “Merchant of Death” & was found guilty for conspiring to sell AK-47’s that would’ve been used to kill DEA agents.
I don't know, ... maybe the Russian Diplomats can negotiate their release, they still do Diplomacy.
can she now be sued by relatives of those killed by this guy???
like taking over a companies liabilities in a buyout, she was swapped for a criminal, does she not assume his debt to society?
