There’s some piece of the original story which appears to have been left out by Army investigators and never told to the Army court, which is driving Manning to be worried over implications in the Grand Jury room. So you have to wonder....what is it that the Army investigators failed to find or lay out?
Or he just wants the attention and some jailhouse fun.
On jail-house levels....given a preference of a military-run operation, or just a plain regular fed prison....I’d pick the military-run operation. I don’t think he sees this as ‘fun’. Also, I think the potential for more fed charges might occur. You have to remember....Obama only commuted his sentence (there was no pardon). There might be two or three additional federal crimes that could be put upon Manning, and there’s zero chance now for another commute deal or a pardon.
“Or he just wants the attention and some jailhouse fun.”
A bit of “strange” no matter which side of the jail he’s housed in. Either way, the “chef’s surprise” for Bubba or the Bubbette’s.
