    When you say “leave her drugs at home” and “she thought she was above the law”, you make it sound like she audaciously took a bag of weed with her. What she actually took was

    cartridges containing less than a gram of medically prescribed hash oil

    that she didn’t consider would be a problem. There is a difference, even if you’re unable to recognize that.

      She also disregarded a state department directive that Russia is a dangerous country to go to for Americans.

      So, not only was she above the law, she felt she was above the US government’s intelligence department as well.

      She’s put national security at risk and we all fucking paid for Biden making an appeal to black voters.

        The majority of what you said also applies to Whelan.

        He was there for work (just like her) despite all the warnings, and his presence was even more of a risk as a reporter than as someone there to play for a basketball team.

        It’s done. Get the fuck over it.

          That’s correct…I think they should both rot in prison…but only one was let go. Why is that?
