CNBC
WASHINGTON — Former NBA player Dennis Rodman said Saturday that he plans to visit Russia to seek the release of Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was sentenced to nine years in prison on drug charges earlier this month.

“I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl,” Rodman told NBC News at a restaurant in D.C. “I’m trying to go this week.”

Maybe it was from her family.

[allegorical oracle]

23. Maybe TFG's sending him. nt

[DURHAM D]

2. This could get interesting. nt

[Beachnutt]

14. What could he offer pooty in exchange

for her release ? Himself ?
What diplomatic experience does he have ?
If nothing else maybe he can visit Britney and offer encouragement.

[lordsummerisle]

3. While he's over there he should

tell Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.

[Ilsa]

4. The State Dept was ok with this?

I hope he doesn't get into trouble there.

[Beachnutt]

7. He may wind up in a cell also,

why does he insist on befriending criminal dictators and the orange con ?

[NutmegYankee]

16. Would that be a loss though?

[milestogo]

26. He doesn't deserve that.

[NutmegYankee]

29. If he is that stupid...

[LeftInTX]

37. He's a big Trump supporter...and he's Kim Jung-un's BFF

He does deserve what's coming to him. He goes to N Korea every chance he gets

He also married himself as a publicity stunt and netted $500,000

[Coventina]

13. That's what I was thinking. n/t

[Mike Nelson]

12. Hopefully...

... he's checked with Washington DC and was assured this visit would be helpful.

[LeftInTX]

36. I'm sure he hasn't because his BFF is Kim Jung-un

He's always up to controversy. He's also a big Trump supporter

[Mike Nelson]

39. Hmm...

... well, maybe he can trade himself for her...

[walkingman]

15. Don't forget the guys!!

[questionseverything]

17. There's 40,000 people in prison in the usa for simple pot possession

Why doesn’t anyone care about them?

[Pobeka]

18. Surely, it's "The Onion" I thought.

I don't this is going to be helpful. I hope it is though.

[druidity33]

21. Isn't he cozy with the North Korean leader? nt.

[jcgoldie]

Dennis can't help being Dennis.

[Beachnutt]

He opens his mouth and idiot flows out...

[dameatball]

28. I think he means well. Other than that I don't know sh**.

[Lunabell]

30. Cool, he can take his buddy stump with him.

Let's exchange them for Ms.Griner. Or they can just stay.

[herding cats]

32. This is a brilliant strategy!

Within a week Russia will be offering 3 prisoners in exchange if we take Rodman back, too.

[LeftInTX]

[wsulik]

34. My advice to Rodman is...

Leave your drugs at home.
