At yesterday’s White House press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy tried to get some answers from Karine Jean-Pierre about why the Biden administration was willing to turn over Viktor Bout, a terrorist arms dealer colloquially known as “The Merchant of Death,” over to Russia in exchange for WNBA player Brittney Griner. Jean-Pierre didn’t provide any satisfactory answers (and ultimately grabbed her binder and fled from the podium).
Well, on day 2 of questions about the problematic prisoner swap, Jean-Pierre’s still giving terrible answers to valid and important questions:
Jean-Pierre: "We knew about a week or two ago that there was going to be a deal for Brittney Griner and that was what the Russians had presented to us and they wanted the deal to secure her return was Mr. Bout for Brittney Griner." pic.twitter.com/IGS3uMuArg

Well, everyone? Are you satisfied with that? No?
Good. Because you shouldn’t be satisfied with it. And the fact that the Biden administration was satisfied with it is genuinely disturbing.
So they just had to accept the deal the Russians presented?

Did we make a counteroffer? Or just take Putin’s sticker price? https://t.co/kRBL5c2x3g

It sounds like Russia was holding all the cards at the negotiating table. If you can even call what happened negotiating. Sounds more like Putin said “Jump” and Biden said “How high?” Is that supposed to make the Biden administration look good? This is supposed to be a defense of their horrible decision?
I smell manure!!!!

We smell it, too. Especially after NBC News reported that Russia initially offered to return detained retired Marine Paul Whelan and the White House chose Griner instead — and then NBC altered their article to line up with the White House’s narrative.

NBC had a bombshell report that Russia offered America Brittney Griner OR Paul Whelan, citing a senior government official. It would be Biden's choice which one to save.
The report was later edited without explanation to mirror Biden's explanation that only Griner was offered. pic.twitter.com/5BvGeyP0RU

If you can believe one thing about the Biden administration, it’s that the Biden administration cannot — and should not — be believed.

Does the “Big Guy” now get 10% of her WNBA and endorsements money? Just following his typical deals.
Yikes! My eyes are getting bad, cuz I never noticed autocorrect switched Griner to Garner. I reported it, so now I’m waiting.
The ball bouncers and their perverted fans are partying tonight. Jo Jo Crappy Pants traded a Russki arms dealer for a black lesbian thug while an American hero remains sitting in a Russki prison. Thanks crappy pants. I know your voters must be so proud of your friggin’, demented pedophile ass.
Trump would have gotten both.
You terms are accepted - trade no one if that is the choice.
Perfect deduction.
They always had a choice to say no.
Perfect deduction.
Hey Pierre....
Screw you you ignorant, arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, self centered piece of human shit...

Video: Russian media laughing that they got Viktor Bout for Griner

I’m pretty sure KJP smells like a black, lesbian immigrant. That’s very similar to an old can of tuna which was opened and left out in the sun. It’s not fair or hygienic to have a smell test in this instance.
so go with NO One you fools but never pick a Drug Smuggler
The tell was a the news conference when KJP underscored that Griner is black and a lesbian. As if these are the determinative factors leading to her release.
Putin would have given Biden the choice of the Marine or the dyke KNOWING which he would choose. Either Putin isn’t as debilitated as reports would have it or moron Joe is just such an easy mark.
Any hope that asteroid flying by can be redirected to DC?
The kremlin said it was on or the other not both no wonder her eyes are brown she’s full of s**t.
Biden opted for the token
Female-check
Black-check
gay-check
According to Hunter's laptop, his usual take was 50%.
It’s all race related. Brittney would have rotted there if she was white.
