Chelsea Manning set for prison release next week
The Hill ^ | May 9, 2017 | BY MARK HENSCH

Former Army soldier Chelsea Manning will be released from prison next week, her attorneys announced Tuesday.

Former President Barack Obama commuted Manning’s prison sentence in January, cutting short a sentence that would have originally ended in 2045.

Obama said that Manning, a former Army intelligence analyst, had served a “very disproportionate” prison sentence for leaking military secrets.

“For the first time, I can see a future for myself as Chelsea,” Manning said in a written statement. “I can imagine surviving and living as the person who I am and finally be in the outside world.”

“Now, freedom is something that I will again experience with friends and loved ones after nearly seven years of bars and cement, of periods of solitary confinement, and of my health care and autonomy restricted, including through routinely forced haircuts,” she added.

“I hope to take the lessons that I have learned, the love that I have been given, and the hope that I have to work toward making life better for others.”

Consider yourself lucky you were put in front of a firing squad and SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE and don’t subject the rest of us to you.

I hope they re-arrest it on another offense.

Wonder...how long before he kills himself? He might get attention, book deal, tv interviews...then what? Like Bruce...they will take themselves out. IMO.

didn’t he try to kill himself in prison?

I am just wonder where he/she/it thinks it will be a safe place to live? In prison, it might well have lasted to 2045, but “on the outside,” I think 2045 is a real stretch.

Sad to say that we may still be on the hook for the costs as he started the whole trip to fruitopia when he was still in the Army. He shouldn’t be able to collect one dime but the regs on this may require it.

Well, "Chelsea", if you can imagine it, some cable channel can document exploit it.

The next great reality show.

Listen up, A&E...Nat Geo, History...your next moneymaker is on it's way.

And I do mean it.

This chubby-cheeked little perverted faggot will soon be richer that Croesus, and the really sad part is that millions will tune it to see the circus.

Worse than the Kardashian turds, mark my words.

I could be wrong, but I see this person as someone destined to be energized by his resentment and blaming of others. A very negative. corrosive type of energy. Similar to what many Hillary voters are prone to do. He can either become a public celeb for a few months, making novelty tours on shows like The View, become a Mascot du jour for treason, or he can disappear into the abyss of anonymity. We shall see.

Well since I knew some of these freaks in Manhattan, they are INSANE and DEPRESSED and NARCISSISTIC and ANGRY and very likely to kill themselves.

Saddest thing I ever saw was 400 lb CD break a heel at Limelight in the city.

It was the freak capital of the city at the time.

Went there a few times when I was young cause the liberal gals there were hot and, well...
