No, but there another very interesting way Trump / Army can punish him/her.
The espionage matter is closed. and the commutation is fixed.
However, if Army wanted to really wanted to screw around with both Manning and Obama’s legacy, there is a way.
As an example, no one in law thinks O. J. Simpson got 33 years as a first time offender in a relatively small time Las Vegas robbery where no one was shot, etc.
He got 33 years because everyone in the justice system knew he walked on the Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman killings. Karma can be a bitch.
In this case, Manning’s two suicide attempts are both violations of Article 134 of the UCMJ which covers, “all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.”
In other words, if a Board of 7 Army officers believes Manning’s suicide attempts were prejudicial to the good order of the Armed Forces or brought discredit to the Armed Forces, he goes to Leavenworth for as long as that Board decides!
The libs would scream, but especially if testimony was introduced that one or both of the supposed suicide attempts were solely to attract attention and sympathy, then Army would be on firm legal ground.... and would “screw Obama” in the process.
Nice post!
