They are not moving the prisoner despite the drug charges. This probably means they are waiting for the trade.
I’m glad She became a citizen of Russia.
Let her rot there…she doesn’t deserve special treatment
Life choices. Different laws for different countries.she is actually lucky it's not a middle eastern country.
Off to prison for him/it. Lesson learned don't take your THC to Russia.
Leave it in jail.
If the blood sample comes to being ungodly, lock her away for life. Make up something, like conspiracy.
She already got her release papers signed and will be flown back to Texas on a G750 private jet . the city of Houston along with her alma mater Baylor University agreed to throw her a welcome home parade. Be on the lookout for her mix tape dropping Dec 1 called "Sky" with features from Meg Thee Stallion, T.I( Clifford Joseph Harris Jr), Khandi Burruss, Kodak Black, Beyonce' and Solange', The City Girls, Remy Ma, Usher Raymond , Bill Bellamy, Sean Puffy Diddy Combs, Master P, Cardi B, Stevie J, T-Boz, Brian McKnight and many others.

SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS BG DOCTOR'S TESTIMONY OF NEEDING IT FOR EYES DOESN'T MATTER?
Let her rot in jail!
Is she a lesbian??? I am curious if she is a lesbian. She definitely looks like a lesbian
Putin offered her a deal. Get TRUMP tattoed on her forehead and knuckles and she is free to leave anytime.
Perhaps she starts training the new WNBA from SIBERIA, I would love to see her traing in -100F out on the tundra…
sucks for her
I read that as Oct 2025!
Terrible inconsciente está mujer seguramente no tiene la más mínima idea de lo qué pasa en el mundo
trade biden pelosi schumer obamamama schiff nadler clintons for "Mr." griner
Appeal.. rejected. Russian coal mine… granted.
We're freeing drug smugglers in Venezuela no harsh punishment. But Brittany seems to get no help at all.
She need some weed
way to F it all up for yourself Britney Griner 😝
I hope the change her sentence to 10yrs
This isn't America Griner… No special treatment because you're black, a woman, or a sports star. You get to be punished for breaking Russian laws without any cheap escape
Just repeat after me
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I hope her appeal is denied. She doesn't deserve any special treatment. She needs to fullfil her full term in prison.
She lied. No way she packed that stuff on accident. She thought she was better then everyone, and she is not to smart bringing that stuff in to Russia. Now we have to give up a spy and who knows what info he has. She should rot over there. If she was white and straight America would not help her at all. She thinks she deserves to be saved but she shouldn't be. Joe Bidden is weak for even considering going after her.
Keep him
America sent Himars and other assitance to Ukraine. So why should Russia release Griner?
after the Nord stream pipeline shenanigans she ain't going nowhere 😂.
we're in total chaos in Europe now coming to America and here we are still worrying about a pothead who admitted she was guilty.
The american propaganda media is desperate to paint griner as innocent
i packed all these illegal drugs by accident, I did not mean to break the law, can I go home now.
I don’t care what anyone say that’s a MAN DISGUISED AS A FEMALE DO YALLL NOT SEE THE LARGE ADAMS APPLE
That's a big dude
Why do people think shes coming out early. She is not. Ahes going to do the time. Nobody cares about joe biden or ehat he wants. Other countries laff at him. Nobody's getting her home and that's the end of it.
Why go to Russia after they invade Ukraine??
She looks more like a victim of Putins strategy, a bargaining chip to unsettle black voter's, the only hope Putin has for survival is to wait out current US administration and pathetic China doing the same…
Her timing was not good. Not a Griner fan, but I do feel very bad for her right now
Why would she want to come back to such an oppressive/racist/homophobic country according to her?
I'll bet she'd be willing to stand for our anthem now that she's had a taste of Russia.
The U.S. does not need a cancer mentality like Griner back. Kudos to Russia for standing up and sticking to their laws.
She wants out lickety split.
The USA should be negotiating for the RELEASE of the two other TRUE Americans that have been incarcerated in the Russian jail and leave this USA bashing person IN jail to serve out her sentence.
Mobalize that thing
