Former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been jailed for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks.
US district judge Claude Hilton ordered Manning to jail Friday after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed she has no intention of testifying. She told the judge she “will accept whatever you bring upon me”.
Manning has said she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process, and that she already revealed everything she knows at her court martial.
The judge said she will remain jailed until she testifies or until the grand jury concludes its work.
Manning’s lawyers had asked that she be sent to home confinement instead of the jail, because of medical complications she faces.
The judge said US marshals can handle her medical care.

He’ll likely be disappointed to be sent to a woman’s prison.

Once again Democrats are conflicted.
On one hand they champion and defend transsexuals.
On the other hand they want to use Wikieleak as a means to prove Trump, Stone, Russia collusion.
Is Bradly Manning a hero or a villain?

Now that’s no way to treat a lady.

With what I have recently read, talking to a grand jury can get you in jail for simply stating your impression of what your heard 2nd hand.
I always thought I’d gladly talk, but now I would gladly appear and gladly keep saying, “Thank you for the question, but I decline to answer under my Constitutional privileges or due to not properly recalling the occasion.”

Hopefully the transphobic prison staff will provide him with all necessary feminine hygiene products.

The guy’s a traitor. He deserves the fate of a traitor. Sorry it’s in the chromosomes.
