FULL TITLE: Obama commutes Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence to let solider who leaked military secrets out in May - but gives no hope of clemency to Edward Snowden

President Barack Obama is commuting the sentence of Chelsea Manning, an army intelligence analyst who shared classified documents with Wikileaks, on his way out out of the White House.

Manning, who went by the name Bradley at the time of the crime, was sentenced to 35 years in prison in August of 2013.

Obama ordered her release day to be moved up on Tuesday to May 17, 2017, cutting her jail time down to more than six years.

Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who fled the country after he stole a tranche of classified documents and exposed government secrets, neither applied for a pardon, the White House said, nor did he proactively receive one.

He thanked Obama in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon for sparing Manning from a life in prison.

I doubt he/she will be at the local VFW for a few beers anytime soon?

When will Assange be walking out of the embassy and turning himself in?

Have a few theories.

1. He will be be in trouble with the law in the future and be back in jail like OJ.

2. Someone, probably in or out of the military, is going to bump him off.

Which do you all think?

I don’t see him offending again, but he is still a convicted felon.

The big question would be if he can profit from writing a book.

Maybe Assange should consider changing genders?

Interestingly, articles refer to Manning as a “her” when referring to event prior to him becoming Chelsea.

Am reading other stories on him. Had forgotten a lot of this and had to refresh my memory.

You know what? This little FDRQ is going to be a hero and more than likely will make the rounds on all the talk shows starting with those old Hens on The View. Don’t be surprised if he does magazine covers like Bruce Jenner did. “Call me Chelsea” BARF.

Oh help us we will need Kaopectate by the tank car load.

A former neighbor of mine was highest ranking Ex-CIA to write a book about his actions in the Agency. The CIA sued him and did not let him profit from the book.

But he got to keep his residuals from the Gong Show, right?

Yea but odds are that ex CIA was not a trans-what ever. Bradley is, and you know the rules do not apply to him.

Manning has been suicidal before; his attempt to turn into something he can never be does not bode well for his future. Unless he turns to God, he won’t have much of a life, no matter which side of the prison bars he’s on.

That would work only if he is charismatic, but from what I have read he seems like a psychotic dork.

They can call him whatever they want. They can cut and paste away. But they will never be able to erase the pesky chromosome thingy. Just like this Jenner stupidity, mother nature does not suffer fools lightly.

Trump should announce that he will pardon any inmate or guard at Leavenworth who helps make sure Bradley Manning doesn’t walk out of there.
