President Obama has commuted the 35-year sentence of former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning for leaking classified information in 2010 to WikiLeaks.

Which one? I’ve lost count.................
The President also pardoned James Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who pleaded guilty in October to a single charge of making false statements to federal investigators in 2012 when he was questioned about leaking top secret information on US efforts to cripple Iran’s nuclear program to two journalists.

You’re mixing Manning with Bergdahl. That one will come tomorrow, I suspect.
Trump should ARREST 0DUNGA for aiding and abetting traitors. This pardon is a CRIME IN ITSELF.
i don’t think chelsea manning was convicted of espionage...
his name was manning, but i would argue that pardon isn’t legit.
Will he still be able to get his d*ck cut off at taxpayer expense, or his breast implants at taxpayer expense?
Obama will NOT pardon Hillary. It does not glorify the Obama. Everything he does is to gain worship and praise for himself. Pardoning Hillary does nothing to inflate his ego.
He hands it to her on the stands right before Trump is sworn in.
The issue for me is that a traitor was pardoned. Period. I could care less about the gender....except the part where my tax dollars pay for it.
He wants to take him on vacation with him.
Congress can do nothing to stop, slow or anyway impede a Presidential pardon or reprieve.
Pretty much. This is all about Obama sticking it to middle America whom he openly loathes.
So if Russians leak information, it’s an act of War, but if a traitorous soldier of our very own country does it, they should get out of jail free card??
Twilight zone...
A commutation is not a pardon.
Although both cases result in release from detention they are different things.
Not defending the thing, just sayin’...
I think Barry feels a kinship with the broken monkey Manning.
