In February, American basketball star Brittney Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport after attempting to bring cannabis oil into the country, which is illegal according to Russian law. In the almost six months since being apprehended, Griner has lingered in a less-than-comfortable prison cell. On Thursday, the legal proceedings of the case came to a close when a Russian court delivered a guilty verdict, followed by a harsh sentence of nine years behind bars.
None of Thursday’s developments should have come as a surprise to anyone. As we’ve noted before, 99% of all Russian prosecutions end with a guilty verdict, and with a maximum available sentence of ten years,

I feel for her just like I feel for the Jan 6 protesters who are also being crushed by a left wing totalitarian regime.
I can remember when the left idolized Russia.

And if she/he were released home, she would go right back to sh***ing on this country so no.

It’s beyond me how anyone could be dumb enough to bring an illegal substance into a country like Russia. Pure stupidity. In the meantime the last place I would ever want to be is dependent on Joe Biden.

No Brit. Your ability to bounce a ball does not allow you to take drugs into a country where they are illegal.
Have a nice 9 years and I hope you like borscht.

"maybe it’s time to revisit some of that anti-Americanism of yours"
And maybe pink, flying horses will swoop in and rescue her.
Her arrogance got her into this. I doubt that will go away. It will probably just make her more angry. It won't go her any good in Russia. It will be interesting to she what her attitude is when she finally is freed.

1) The current regime will not lift more than a pinky to get a US citizen out of a jam unless they are well connected with Sam donors or rich...one hand etc
2) Don't travel with controlled or illegal substances. It also goes to show you that long term use of these substances destroys your brain.
3) Americans... Cross Russia, China, and allies off your travel list

Brittney, your time in the gulag will not be pleasant. Whatever you do, don't drop the soap and bend over in the shower. You best quickly identify which fellow inmates may protect you from most certain harm. Prepare for the torture, murder around you, and physical abuse. Try claiming to be a man because their life expectancy in the gulag is a bit longer. If you are lucky, you will be assigned to a prison that is controlled by the guards. If you are not lucky you will be assigned to a prison controlled by the russkie mafia. You still hate America?

Unlike America, Russian justice is fair and wise enough not to let her transsexual, black self get in the way of justice. Being a hate-filled hypocrite didn't work out so well this time.

One thing that seems to be forgotten in the whole episode is this--
There are OTHER AMericans being held prisoner in Russia who are being FORGOTTEN (btw, how about those STILL stuck in Afghanistan when the Vegetable bugged out)
They are not famous basketball players who are lesbians and being viewed by the media as MORE DESERVING of swapping violent criminals, and deserve to be considered...
And even though harsh by our standards.... heck, now SOROS -backed DAs they let criminals out instead of detaining them so they can commit EVEN MORE crimes.... Griner's punishment in all fairness DOES NOT meet the crime committed

The wife, not a keen follower of this saga, saw a clip of Grinder speaking. First thing she asked was is that a man? I responded not sure although it plays in the WNBA and played in the womens NCAA basketball for Baylor.

Wonder if ole' Brittaney Grimey is worried about her "wife" cheating on her. No doubt this grotesque looking, mannish Michelle Obama clone will make plenty of new friends in the Russian women's gulag camp to wile away the time.

I am assuming Brittney had the courage to kneel in protest when Judge Ivan entered the court room.
Before he said "NYET!" to her.
I don't relish the poor girl's ordeal.
I do relish the lesson taught to America-hating bolshevik everywhere.

If Wikipedia is correct, she's been playing for a Russian team, UMMC Ekaterinburg, since 2014. She wasn't some foolish tourist who failed to research a country's laws, she's lived and worked in Russia for years.

Bingo! What #26 said. She is not a newby in Russia. She knew the rules. She knew the penalties. I don’t give a damn that she is “devastated”. Black and female don’t count for a thing in Russia. You have to play by their rules.

Lame Duck Joe poked the Bear, Russian Bear that is. Brittany poked the Eagle, American Eagle that is. Brittany should read Solzhenitsyn to find out what awaits her in a Russian prison camp. It won't be pretty. The irony of this situation is not lost on anyone paying attention. Lame Duck has no choice in who he trades for Brittany. Putin will get what he asked for, the Arms Dealer and whomever else he wants. Lame Duck outsmarted again. No Joke.

As posters #26 wrote, she’s been employed by a Russian team and has been going there for several years and would’ve been well aware of their drug laws. However I’m guessing this isn’t her first time doing this. In the past she probably hasn’t been carefully searched and just assumed that would still be the case this time.
She is grossly mistaken. Could Putin and his Russian henchman be using her as a pawn, possibly.
But the bottom line is, is she broke their laws, pleaded guilty of those laws in their court, and therefore must serve the time she was sentenced to in their country, in their prison. Our media can whine and wail all it wants to. None of their propaganda can change those facts.

Griner didn't construct herself in her mother's womb. While I will never support anti-Americanism, I acknowledge I've made mistakes and I don't see the need for or the joy in making ugly comments about one's personal characteristics. Both Reagan and Trump were democrats, Trump as late as 2009. No one here would view Trump as being anti-American but the democrats in 2009, led by Obama, were not exactly pristine Americans. Perhaps Griner has learned a key life lesson about her country of birth. I certainly hope so. Before I enjoyed a 30 career in law enforcement, I spent a night in a county jail in Texas, a very transformative experience. Although I wasn't convicted of a criminal offense, owing to my arrest record, the agency that hired me took a big chance in doing so. I was determined to never give the leaders of that agency cause for regret. I also lost my right to engage in public stoning. As THE MAN said, "Let he who is without sin...."

She may think she's tough playing basketball with a bunch of girls, but she's not tough enough to last nine years in a Russian prison. She's about to find out what tough really is.
We should cease all efforts to return this ingrate to the best country on the face of the earth, that she defecated on every chance she got. Embrace the suck, Brittney - and dosvedanya.

There's a photo out on the web of "her" with shirt off....complex tattoos seem to match exactly, and MAN chest, not a hint of breasts at all.
I suppose a skilled photoshop guy could fake it and layer the tattoos on a different person....but the pic looks real, and he/she/it doesn't look like a female above the waist.

Please make the other prisoners address you by your pronouns. And be sure to take a knee when the Russian guards tell you to do something.
I do not feel sorry for her/him. Arrogant, stupid, and a traitor.

Yes #15. Miss Griner has the correct hate America politics so the White House will spend whatever, do whatever to get her back home. She knows full well by now that she will be released soon as State Department gets the arrangements settled. The J6 political prisoners have received only persecution, Gulag physical treatment, isolation, rare medical treatment, isolation from family, bankruptcy, physical and mental cruelty from the same government.
She will be back here before you know it. She will get a fat book contract too.

This was not her first trip to Russia so she must have known the laws. She has probably smuggled in her drugs before and her sense of entitlement made her believe that she could always get away with it. This is yet another example of the damage that the demonrats have done to blacks.
