Former U.N. ambassador is 'optimistic' that WNBA star Brittney Griner will go free in prisoner swap

"There's going to be a prisoner swap, though. And I think it will be two for two involving Paul Whelan," said Bill Richardson, former U.N. ambassador.

Once they made swapping an option this case was no longer about rule of law!

As a retired profeessor I don tink dat these Brittany Grinner tis gonna get
out anytime soon and I'm talkin years
cuzz there are other Americans still in jailed in Russia so therefore if these Brittany Grinner was to " jump da line "
then there would be widespread outrage I do believe yea

[ironhead]

Why are we even trying to get her freed, next time you won't stand for national anthem, think about it

[SimpsonIII]

What about all the people in jail in America for marijuana are they getting out

Looking all sad and pitiful. Part of the plan, show remorse and our great statesman Joey will pull off a trade. We'll be seeing her/him on every woke show for the next few months 😴😴😴😴

Let's hope this administration has the same luck freeing Britts as they have done lowering gas, food and utility prices.

If Brittney were straight, loved the US, and was a patriot - *NO DEAL WOULD BE MADE!* Brittney broke the law there and was very much aware. Serve the sentence!
