President Obama commuted the sentence of Bradley Manning, who leaked top secret documents to WikiLeaks, compromising US military and diplomatic activities. Manning was sentenced to 35 years for his crime. Manning has served about seven years of that sentence.

In response to objections that this pardon suggests a precedent for forgiving traitors, Obama said, ā€œfirst of all, letā€™s be clear: Chelsea Manning has served a tough prison sentence, so the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, I donā€™t think would get that impression from the sentence that Chelsea Manning has served.ā€


Obama: ā€˜Chelsea Manning Has Served a Tough Prison Sentenceā€™


You see, Manning has suffered enough. Sure, he leaked confidential army documents, but he acknowledged his wrong doing and heā€™s gender confused. Being in prison is hard. Heā€™s a sensitive gal. Sure he was convicted of traitorous activity, but give her a break. That is the message Barack Obama is sending.

ā€œIt has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received, and that she had served a significant amount of time, that it made sense to commute ā€“ and not pardon ā€“ her sentence,ā€ Obama said.

There you have it. Manning committed a crime, but hey, others have too, and they didnā€™t get sentenced to 35 years. So Manning has suffered enough. Prison bathrooms are a hot bed of trouble under any circumstances. Just imagine how difficult Manning found serving his sentence when he announced he is she. So being not your average traitor, Manning is excused.

In other pardon-my-leaking-news, General James Cartwright ā€œpleaded guilty late last year to misleading investigators looking into the leaking of classified information about cyberattacks against Iranā€ received a pardon from President Obama. Cartwright was to be sentenced soon. Now he will face no punishment for lying to investigators about matters of national security.

These two examples offer a chilling peek into soon to be ex-president Obamaā€™s attitude toward those who play by their own rules when it comes to sharing information vital to the security of the United States of America. Manning copied and gave top secret information to WikiLeaks which ultimately put many people in danger, all over the world as well as here at home. A few years back, Cartwright was fine with disclosing information to a reporter writing a book that involved some delicate national security details about what the US was doing behind the scenes. When the FBI asked for information however, Cartwright chose to be less than forthcoming with members of the very government he swore to protect.

At least this time, Cartwright didnā€™t have to swoon to avoid trouble. Obama played white knight to his favorite general. Come to think of it, Obama played white knight to Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning as well.

The thing with Manning is that others in prison for similar levels of crime serve much shorter sentences - about half what Manning's served.

She's done twice the usual amount of prison time.

This may be Obama's way of telling us to go easy on the Trump Administration when they're formally charged.

Exactly.

Though I have to laugh because the people upset at this are the same people who applaud Assange.
 
Rough Prison time? Excuse me.
More like checking into the FREE HOSPITAL to get some sort of sex change operation. Don't have to drive yourself to operation, no forms to fill out, no mailbox stuffed full of never ending payment demands, phone not going off, Free food, bed, time to heal........then presto.........off to THE VIEW to whoop it up with Whoopie.

Rough news for Bradley! Apparently, he will lose his medical benefits. He'll have to pay for his penisectomy himself.
LOL: ā€˜Chelseaā€™ Manning To Lose Transgender Surgery Benefits From Taxpayers
 
The Eagle representing the American People has little use for this president.

However, if Trump fools the Far and Alt Right and reaches to serve the center, then the Eagle will hold its head in pride again.
 
HAAHAAHA, as usual you liberals are so funny it is a real treat to see how you dream of world dominance for your murdering scum idols, and of being able to intimidate, rob and assault people with no personal consequences as you have for the last eight years..

Put the bottle on the table, and push your chair backwards. Take a deep breath, and recite, "Oh, God, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and insight to know the one from the other.""Lord, help me understand the difference."

The News Media had no problem with Obama Pardoning trader Manning but uses every chance they could to claim that Russia help Trump win the election(with no proof) ABC's 20-20 and Good Morning America had Manning on their programs. I just wonder how many Americans died from Manning's leaks?????
