False. Exchanged for one of the most prolific arms dealers of the 90’s. Paul Whelan (us marine) stays in prison in Russia. Americans are seemingly very odd in their priorities. Does Griner even like your country?
Use both sides of you brain. An arms dealer with very few connections anymore and will be getting out Scott free in a few years anyway for an innocent American is reasonable. Do you think he is their only arms dealer? Whelan is in for espionage. No way they trade him too. She was a purposeful chess piece. She did nothing wrong. I'm so thankful Trump or some other idiot isn't in charge.
It's definitely questionable doing a trade like this for an arms dealer whose work could again result in the deaths of many and the destabilization of entire countries through that work. However, let's be clear: Russia's own drug crimes law sets forth a 15 day sentence for the crime Griner was accused of violating. 15 days. Not 9 years. This was just an opportunistic arrest and show trial to get back at the U.S. and to take a negotiating pawn to get release of a top spy or "merchant of death."
This was all obvious yet somehow our imbecile President fell for it.
You should have called their bluff and just left her in jail over there until they were willing to make an even trade for an arms dealer that included her as a nothing burger add-on.

This, right here. I wouldn’t have made the trade, but Biden has Woke Privilege, and this plays to all the dumb Gen Zs and Millennials and the clickbait they are manipulated by. Don’t make the trade until something better is offered. I mean, minimally get the teacher out too. What a joke.
Will Griner show remorse and gratitude for her country, not just Brandon? Will she go live in and invest in her inner city communities, demand accountability, & not accept failure? You know, real, authentic commitment and love? Or will she continue to plead victimization and martyrdom and continue practicing the soft bigotry of low expectations?
Its garbage she drug smuggled in Russia of all placed how stupid can you be. Biden’s admin fighting to get her back to America why? We exchanged a vicious terroristic killer in exchange for her. I am sure we also paid to assist with Russia’s war efforts against Ukraine as well in the process. If you ask me, I say make Brittney Griner do her sentenced in an American Federal Prison she deserves zero pardon. I also think we should have got Paul Whelan back instead. Biden is just as ridiculous as Trump. She is a felon and needs to do her sentence she get's zero support or compassion from me.

She is a self intitled brat she will continue to point the finger at everyone else because she refuses to look in the mirror and realize the problem is looking back at her.
So this guy Wheland is Canadian born US Marine with citizenship in the US, Britain and Ireland? He is DEFINITELY a spy. He is supposed to be in jail. What does AmeriKKKa do when they catch a spy? Brittney had a small amount of weed.
Question: We all know that Trump and Putin are besties….why didn’t Trump get Wheland out of prison?
Keep in mind she broke the law in Russia if she pulled the crap in Saudi they would have sent her to Chop Chop Square. People need to stop saying well it was only a little weed she broke their laws and we should have let her rot. She wasn't wronged she broke the law it does not matter if you agree with it or not laws are laws and they differ based on country and some countries are zero tolerance!

always hilarious to see all these 'I'm not a racist but..." types bend over backwards to pretend they have different reasons for hating B.Griner.
Also love all the things she's supposedly obligated to do for them as well "clean graffitti off Lincoln's nose at the memorial, provide CPR to 100 children, sew 100 us flags by hand.." as if there is some kind of checklist. You know what though....even if she did all those things.....you'd still hate her. And you know it.
She's a free American....she can do whatever the hell she wants to.

A better American than you'll ever be.
We returned a two time gold medal today.
We returned a hero.
I don't like her because of her opinions towards our country and the fact that we traded a nightmare for her. She is a felon stop throwing skin color into the mix! You can dislike someone because of who they are and what their behavior is. If I were you id pull Biden out of my rear end and start developing my own thought process real soon!
“I don't mean that in any disrespect to our country,” Griner continued. “My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years. I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.”
She seems eager to get back to a country she despises so much. Not sure how trading her for an international arms dealer is in the best interest of our country.

please show me where she says she despises the US.
An American can be the farthest left leaning Democrat or the farthest right leaning Republican and we can all feel good about bringing home one of our own. This transcends politics and goes to the heart of what it means to be an American. We leave nobody behind.
She will be exchanged for another Russian prisoner but not the Merchant of Death. Good news!
Yeah whatever you say tell that to my fellow service members that got left in Afganistan. Zero respect for Biden and his posse! That move sealed my opinion of him.

It transcends politics but for many people it doesn't transcend race.
