WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Maryland, according to Federal election filings seen on Saturday.

Manning, who was granted clemency by former U.S. President Barack Obama, was released in May from a U.S. military prison in Kansas where she had been serving time for passing secrets to the WikiLeaks website in the biggest breach of classified data in the history of the United States.

This is rich.

Little known fact ignored by media... Moore passed several lie detector tests. And some of his accusers admitted to lying.

Actually Moore took a single polygraph and has not released the results. And I'm not aware of any of his accusers who have admitted to lying except the one Gloria Allred brought up and she only admitted to fudging part of it.

I thought Democrats didn’t want white males to run for office. Too much white privilege and white patriarchy.

Sad - is’t it

[KosmicKitty]

I know. Sad, isn’t it?

[SMGFan]

if can beat Cardin in primary?

[john drake]

Yes, you’re being kind even in that reference. I don’t think a horse is capable of worse behavior, i.e., treason, which some of these people might be recognized for committing. Just sayin’.

[Impy]

Unfortunately, I don’t see how this thing can beat a rat incumbent in the primary. It would certainly lose a pissing contest.

Since it lopped off its schvantz, it now looks like Tonya Harding. Tonya can play him in the movie.

“SHE”; PULLEEEZ, hes a dude who had his manparts chopped off, same as a EUNUCH.

[Deplorable American1776]

It is running, to the first transgender anti-American traitor in the Senate?

[Deplorable American1776]

The horse would be smarter than most of them...(Fredericia Wilson, John Lewis, SJL, Maxine...for starters)

[Krosan]

He’ll get maybe 0.01% of the vote. That said I am still patiently waiting for FreeRepublic to see that this whole wiki-leaky thing is a Russian propaganda operation. These people are all actors under the director of a Russian theater master.
