Do it! We have let go worse than that creep. We want Griner back (throw in that other American guy) and you can have your arms dealer.

Anything could happen to the arms dealer, but we know that Griner is suffering and won't make ten years. Do it before her trial starts in June.

This would be a morale booster for the US. I have no idea really what she is like, but she has a family, and that's good publicity. I think we can get more out of this than the Russians can.
