Isn’t what she did illegal in the US also!?

It is technically a federal crime to travel via plane with marijuana in the US. So, yeah.

Exactly more reason for her to be completely at blame

I believe so, but I can't be 100% sure. My point is more that she failed to realize it was in her position at that time, therefore she didn't know she had committed a crime while committing a crime. That's assuming if you give the guilty plea water, which I would discount considering the lawyer and the court was compromised to some extent (the court was very compromised).

The fact she had it on her at all In Russia is beyond dumb. I heard a story once from Snoop Dogs head of security saying “hardest thing he ever did was trying to keep snoop off weed while in Russia” because he knew they didn’t mess around. If they knew it she should have. Incredibly stupid, In my opinion.

Snoop Dog didn't work for someone as powerful that Griner did (in Russia at least). I have no doubt that Griner's employer allowed her to play by a different set of rules/laws without her knowledge.

Yea because those teams are owned by the Russian mob or the people everyone hates right now in the news in Russia
