Britney Griner gets 9 years in the the gulag

I’m about 90% convinced the reason it had to be that Britney dude is because Russia was getting tired of having to handle him differently because they couldn’t keep him with the women, but couldn’t keep him with the men either…

It Sure Looks Like Biden Is Lying About the Brittney Griner Prisoner Swap​

By Bonchie | 8:45 PM on December 09, 2022

On Thursday, news broke that WNBA player Brittney Griner was being released from a Russian labor camp and flown back to the United States. According to an announcement by the White House, Griner had been swapped for a notorious arms dealer named Viktor Bout, also known as the “merchant of death.”



Quickly, the backslapping began, with Joe Biden taking full credit for the deal, but it didn’t take long before questions began to emerge. Former US Marine Paul Whelan has been held on false charges in Russia for nearly four years. Why wasn’t he prioritized in the deal? Then there is teacher Mark Fogel, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison for possessing medical marijuana (very similar to Griner’s charge). The White House won’t even acknowledge his plight, having not designated him as being wrongfully detained.

As the Biden administration told it, though, Whelan was never on the table. Instead, the Russians insisted that the trade had to be for Griner or no one. Yet, astute observers noted how little sense that makes. Why would Russia want to make the choice easy for Biden? Wouldn’t they gain much more from making him make a choice between two Americans? And why would the Russians want to give up Griner before Whelan given that Griner is a public figure and obviously more valuable?

Sure enough, there’s evidence emerging that the White House’s story isn’t exactly accurate. For example, NBC News originally reported via a senior government official that the Russians were offering either Griner or Whelan in the deal. Later on, the article was stealth edited to match the administration’s talking points.


NBC had a bombshell report that Russia offered America Brittney Griner OR Paul Whelan, citing a senior government official. It would be Biden's choice which one to save.

Are we to believe the original article just misquoted the government official? Somehow, I seriously doubt that is the case. Rather, it feels like NBC News got a call from the White House and then cleaned things up to push the official narrative, undercutting their own bombshell in the process.

There’s more, though. Whelan’s lawyer was quoted in the same NBC News article as saying that the United States chose Griner because she was the more “humane” choice.

Whelan’s Russian lawyer, Vladimir Zherebenkov, also said that the deal was an exchange of “one to one” and that choosing Griner, 32, appeared “more humane” because she is a woman and an Olympic champion, while Whelan was in the military and it is “easier for him to be in custody.”

Further, consider the administration’s messaging on the prisoner swap. Karine Jean Pierre, the White House press secretary, touted Griner being a gay, black woman during her briefing in what appeared to be an attempt to justify her importance. Others in the administration toed the same line, with the press dutifully playing along. If Griner’s identity wasn’t a factor, why make such a big deal about it?


There’s just too much here that doesn’t add up. That we are dealing with an administration that has made a habit of lying to the American people only makes the questions more prudent. Did Biden choose Griner because she’s famous and/or checks the right intersectional boxes over a former Marine who has been rotting away for nearly four years? It sure seems like it.

At the very least, there needs to be a lot more investigation as to what exactly went on here. The original deal was bad enough, if not arguably necessary. But if the White House played identity politics with a former servicemember’s life, that would be a major scandal.
 
I wonder what Wheland's combat experience was. Did he have any? Or was he just scheming up stuff. Dishonorable for me kills the Marine status. Combat vet perhaps better than a POS druggy who cant compete in the male sports. Edit BCD

He didn’t get a dishonorable. He got a bcd. Two different things.
 
For those of us that did not serve, what's the difference between dishonorable and bad conduct?
 
dis is the worst of the worst. A lot of bcd are general discharges that get the bad conduct part remover in time. i think i remember it that way, i have had a few drinks since 1986.

Dishonorable is bad. There’s that box on the 4473 for a dishonorable. I don’t think it would automatically disqualify you from buying a gun but you can bet your ass they will do some digging.

Per: Can I Own A Gun If I Am Convicted At A Military Court Martial? a BCD is an automatic disqualification:

Before this all went down.
Nobody knew who Britteny Grinder was.
Nobody knew who "the murchant of death" was.
The whole thing stinks of fabrication to piss people off and further divide this country.

So, who's doing the dividing? We all know Putin got the better deal. We all know USA lost badly on this exchange. PedoJoe just showed Putin what his mindset is and it's garbage in, garbage out.
 
If Griner was born a man, he’d have all the WNBA records. Just saying. We’ll never know if he/she does, because surely the WNBA can’t even afford a website.

I'd bet JoeTato had something to do with it. He doesn't give a shit about this country, and seems to be doing his part on division.
 
I was thinking about this the other day. What happened to the other American that was stuck in Russia. Did everyone just forget about him because we got the lesbian out?
