I agree. Also, Putin isn't stupid. He knows he's holding a Royal Flush. If he agrees to her release at some point, he's going to demand a lot for her.
Biden better think long and hard before trading her for Russian prisoners who have killed American citizens. I don't believe America will stand quietly for that.
But... ya never know in our crazy world....
It’s not coincidence that the day after the verdict Putin stated he was ready to negotiate. If she got 1 or 2 years he would have a lesser hand. There was really no need for a trial, Putin knew the sentence beforehand and probably had a big hand in deciding it, if he didn’t decide it all in his own.
Our nation (probably the world) is watching this story very closely, waiting to see how far Biden will bend over to get her released.
His actions will tell us what's more important to this president --- the black, anti-American, homosexual lawbreaker... or us and our safety in America. If Biden trades a murderer or two for her, and one American loses his or her life because of that trade, Biden should hang for treason.
Exactly. I’m shocked that she hasn’t already been released already based on being a leftist black homosexual BLM supporter. Civil rights groups including the LBGT must be all over Biden for this. Any protests/riots out there yet?
It's funny that many on the left are going nuts over BG yet their attitude towards Americans left in Afghanistan was one of "They knew the risk." or "they shouldn't have been there in the first place.".
Well, she knew the risk, she knew the laws as she'd been there before...she deserves whatever she gets...many she'll appreciate America just a wee bit more now...but I doubt it!

He doesn't have enough necks to hang for every treason he has already committed. Unfortunately, he will be dirt napping before we can bring him to justice. My guess is he will make the trade since he never does the right thing.
I’ve heard plenty of women who sound like men. Clearly she has more testosterone than the average woman but that doesn’t mean anything. My bff in junior high did, too, just naturally. This is as stupid as all the “Katie Ledecky is a guy” idiocy.
