Override Commutation & Reinstate Chelsea Manning's sentence to 35 years

Some of the criminals that Hussein 0bama let out, were probably a lot safer and would've had longer life spans if they stayed behind bars, just sayin'.

I'm not a lawyer but it's hard for me to imagine how the commutation can be reversed.I wonder if there's anything he's done that he hasn't yet been charged with.If so he could be tried for that....court martial!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Double jeopardy.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It's a fait accompli so there is no reversing it. It's in the constitution.

While I agree that Bradley should have served the whole term, it would be unseemly for Trump to do other than call him the traitor he is and actually take action to keep him imprisoned. He’ll probably have a lousy life with his record and his mental illness that makes him think he’s a girl.

[ExSES]

You damn well can end the policy of taxpayer paid "Gender Reassignment"! Now!

[P-Marlowe]

I don’t think you can undo the commutation. However Bradley Manning agreed to serve out 35 years in order to avoid prosecution for hundreds of crimes for which he was charged but not convicted. By accepting the commutation he has voided the agreement.

I believe that he can now be charged with all those other crimes.

That is the route we should take.

[Paladin2]

Figure out if he is indirectly (not by much) responsible for anyone’s murder and try him for that.

[Tax-chick]

It is likely that Bradley Manning will make the point moot quite soon.

Adapting a line from Obama, let it out...somebody has a utility knife and a sewing kit to help it work through its issues about its plumbing. After that, mental clarity about its treason will be easy to achieve.

NO, it does not get the benefit of a gendered pronoun. That’s for those with the slightest modicum of dedication to the oath it swore.

Welcome to Free Republic.

[BuffaloJack]

If Obama didn’t publish Manning’s commutation to the Federal Register then it will expire in 30 days.
As I recall Manning wasn’t going to be released until May.

[oldtech]

Obama made it happen....shouldn’t he be made to serve some time,too?

Override Commutation & Reinstate Chelsea Manning's sentence to 35 years

No.

We've got more pressing issues to contend with.

Manning will be leaving prison with a dishonorable discharge and zero veterans' benefits. Sure, he'll probably be a darling of the left for a little while until his benefactors realize he's insufferable (and mentally unstable) then he'll be cut loose on his own.

He's going to have a very difficult time navigating the real world.

Trump has more important things to do and it's not worth the precedent it would set.
