Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning’s Prison Sentence for Leak

[HAPPY2BME]

    Manning was serving 35-year-sentence for leaking to Wikileaks
    Obama has issued more commutations than any other president



President Barack Obama on Tuesday commuted the 35-year sentence of Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who was convicted of leaking classified material, and pardoned Marine General James Cartwright.

Manning, who was convicted in 2013, will be released in May 2017. Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI in connection with a leak investigation. The retired general will have his crime forgiven, according to a statement from the White House.

Obama has now commuted more prison sentences than the previous 12 presidents combined, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. The president will announce another series of clemency decisions on Thursday, his final full day in office, an administration official said.

[1/17/17]  President Obama on Tuesday largely commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted the administration, and made WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures, famous.

The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to commit suicide last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the male military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

Now, under the terms of Mr. Obama’s commutation announced by the White House on Tuesday, Ms. Manning is set to be freed on May 17 of this year, rather than in 2045.

That traitorous bastard will always be known as "Bradley" to me. He was born a male and he'll die a male, whether or not he gets his dick cut off and grows tits.

=======================

You and I paid for his sex change (while in prison even).

Manning did NOT get a PARDON, he got a COMMUTE.

His record will not be expunged, he will just not have to do prison time for the full crime.

NEXT: Obama pardons Hillary for BenghaziGate.

Bitchslapped for being obtuse/obnoxious.

I'm well aware of what Brad Boy "got" from Barry. And I know the reprieve he got as well, which is tantamount to turning a blind eye to justice. Your "lecture" is completely misplaced. Go practice on a 14-year-old whose nuts haven't dropped yet.

And read what I wrote, not what you think I wrote. I wrote "whether or not" he had a sex change operation.

Bradley Manning should of never been commuted.

Julian Assange will NOT go to the US despite the decision to free Chelsea Manning as the terms of her release are 'well short' of what he wanted, his lawyer says
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4130254/Assange-ready-face-extradition-following-Manning-decision.html

Julian Assange will not leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London to face extradition to the US following Barack Obama's decision to free Chelsea Manning, his attorney has confirmed.

After the outgoing president announced his decision to release former soldier Manning nearly 30 years early it was believed Assange would agree to face extradition.

However,  Barry Pollack, Assange's US-based attorney, has now told The Hill: 'Mr Assange welcomes the announcement that Ms Manning's sentence will be reduced and she will be released in May, but this is well short of what he sought.
