Really interesting seeing some of the same folks who said we should "let Greiner rot" in this thread begging for this guy to be released

I'll go ahead and say I don't care about ideological consistency here either

Griner crapped on the United States and very likely intentionally tried to sneak drugs into Russia. The reality is that MOST of those being all FAFO with her probably would have supported a reasonable effort to free her and probably were just annoyed by media acting like she was a persecuted saint when she is, in fact, quite unlikable.

Three normal American dudes with kids who made a harmless error fit easily into my personal definition of "Us"

Griner...not as easily, even though deep down I certainly supported her not being in a Russian gulag indefinitely.
