WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner went to trial today in Moscow. The basketball player is accused of drug smuggling and could possibly face ten years in prison. The Russians say they found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. Griner’s wife, Cherelle, called out President Biden saying, “he is the person that ultimately will make that decision for B.G. to come home.” The trial could potentially go on for months. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

BLM ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽 brothers and sisters, now is the time to assemble some of our best to march toward Russia. Get some ships ready in Alaska, let’s burn Russia down!
Trump would have had her out already
Bet she stands for the national anthem when she gets home. Hope she gets home soon but hope she will appreciate the country that gave her so much
She isn't a pleasant person but there is no need for this😥
All this for a vape cigarette w Marijuana oil…seriously? Russian vodka woukd probably give you a greater hit. She meant no harm and was there to play a ball game. Putin politics keeping her jailed. She's no criminal.
I hope she gets prison time. If not, we are going to be treated to countless interviews about being a victim and not taking responsibility for her actions.
Biden seems to not care about Griner. Good luck with this guy helping you. Call Trump.
Brittney is a He, not a She
No such thing as a wnba superstar
This just in … AP Russia says Brittney Griner sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. Remote northern Star Island Correctional Prison… more details to follow…
Don't smuggle drugs into Russia.
Free el Chapo!

Let's trade her for Kyle Rittenhouse.
He don't have much of a future anyway
-COMANCHE NATION
Poor girl
BOYCOTT RUSSIA! PLEASE DON'T GO PLAY FOR RUSSIA.
Give the death penalty, injustice worse in America.🖕em
If 45 was still in office she'll be home by now
Don't go to another country and break their laws if you don't want to get jailed. She needs to take some responsibility for her actions.
Commit a crime, you do the time…
President Biden said it, his White House press secretary said it: WE ADVISE ALL AMERICANS CURRENTLY IN RUSSIA AT THIS TIME TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY, YOUR LIVES MAY BE IN DANGER IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY…this announcement was made via the White House to every major news syndicate MANY MANY TIMES…BG is not a child, she is a 31 year old adult woman who didn’t listen to the good advice that was given to her. This is what anyone that doesn’t listen deserves. Stone cold reality.

Wow, someone get Griner a razor. Her mustache has grown back.
Lord protect Brittney Griner.
