Yep commute the 35 years and execute him tomorrow. Sounds fair. I can’t think of why this guy should ever get off. His crime was so heinous.

We are supposed to provide his hormones and possibly the bodily mutilation surgery needed to accommodate his transgender feelings.

Who knew prisoners have all these rights to this whole transgender body mutilation business........liberals consider it a civil right now.

Before he’s called upon the pay the penalty for his illegal activities.

The ACLU doesn’t embrace the concept of law enforcement; it embraces the the concept of sentiment.

Even Soetoro knew that he had to be careful about publicly shielding Manning, because he knew that the public backlash would be too strong.

It will be interesting to discover Manning’s “institutionalization” once those documents are declassified (it probably got to live a life of leisure on the taxpayer’s dime).

Before, during, or after his sex-change operation?

Chelsea Manning wasn’t sentenced to anything at all. There was a Bradley Manning who was sentenced for betraying his oath and his country, but I haven’t heard from him in a while. Possibly the media just lost track of him...

That would be fine with me. What is NOT fine with me, is that Hildebeast and her sycophants walk.

If Hillary and her buddies are even charged with treason, Manning might as well be pardoned. And Snowden, too.
