Obama commutted Bradley Manning's sentence

[novasteve]

breaking new..

what an asshole. all this talk about russia and leaks and you commute the sentence of someone who stole government secrets who then gave them to someone who released them?

 

[Preacher]

Awesome! I have no interest in mannings mental illness but what he did was of great patriotic duty to expose war crimes committed by the US!

 

[Preacher]

Only pardoning Snowden would be better than this!

It marks a turn for the Obama administration, long criticized for its hostility to whistleblowers.

The commuted sentence, announced by Obama on Tuesday, will allow Manning to be freed on May 17 of this year. She was originally set to be freed in 2045, according to the New York Times.

Manning has been incarcerated since 2010, after she confessed to sending the secret military and diplomatic documents to the anti-secrecy organization. While she was seen as a traitor by some, many more considered her a whistleblower and hero. In 2013, she was sentenced to 35 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act and other offenses.

A source within the Justice Department told NBC News that Manning’s commutation was on Obama’s short list before it was announced.

Amazing after all the praise around here from the Trumptards for 'leakers', for hacking, for Julian Assange, for the Russian criminal enterprise intended to manipulate an American election,

after these people cheerly wildly for all of that,

they think Manning is a villain?

That is about as pathetic as a tard can get.

Secrecy breeds corruption, that's why our 'leaders' insist it's necessary.
Whistle-blowers should be rewarded with a good job in accountability, not a jail sentence.

The only reason The Blamer let it out is to display his support of sexual perversion.
