President Obama has put Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst serving a 35-year sentence for leaking classified material, on his short list for a possible commutation, a Justice Department source told NBC News.

A decision could come as soon as Wednesday for Manning, who has tried to commit suicide twice this year and went on a hunger strike in a bid for gender reassignment surgery.

Well, I guess if Obamalamadingdong does so, at least it means that the military definitely won’t have to pay for any sex changes ....

I won’t be surprised if Barry pardons a bunch of people (illegals) for making and using fake IDs in order to bury within that list of pardons the person who photoshopped his birth certificate.

Bradley Manning was a soldier-a soldier is bound to the security clearances he has, to the chain of command, to his fellow soldiers. How could one expect a military to perform if orders are only suggestions?

I say he should go for it.

His list of pardons is a GREAT place to start investigating corruption. You can bet there will be some real doozies “hidden” in that list.

It’s also quite convenient that the democrats have created plenty of other lists that beg to be examined. All of their favored people and groups, all the illegals with drivers licenses, etc.

Or he could do a blanket pardon:

"I, Bronco Bama, the Muslim, Marxist, homo in chief, Narcissfurher primarch, do pardon all federal employees employed from 20 JAN 2008 to 20 JAN 2017 for any and all offenses", "HOWEVER", this pardon shall not apply to any Christians, Republicans, or NRA members".
