*** Didt Obama grant clemency to Bradley Manning, one of those leakers? ***
Yes, Manning served 7 years of a 35 year sentence. Then the current Admin’s DOJ jailed him again to compel him to re-testify to testimony he had already given to a Grand Jury, and to screw over Assange. Manning refused, and was finally ordered released by a Judge,
Ordering Mannings release, Judge Anthony J Trenga wrote: The court finds Ms Mannings appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose.
He used attempted suicides as a means to gain release...it worked...the court caved.
