It now appears all but certain that Chelsea Manning will soon appear before a federal grand jury andlikelybe forced to testify about her association with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange nearly a decade ago.
A federal judge on Tuesday denied a motion filed by Mannings legal team to quash the subpoena. Outside the U.S. District Courthouse, Manning told reporters that her attorneys still have grounds to litigate and would continue trying to prevent the government from compelling her testimony. Her attorneys bid to unseal her testimony was also denied. The subpoena, in the Eastern District of Virginia, was first reported by the New York Times on Thursday.
Although the nature of the grand jury investigation is unknown, the Washington Post reports that Tuesdays hearing was attended by the Assange prosecutorial team. Unspecified charges against Julian Assange were inadvertently revealed by prosecutors in a court filing in November 2018. The nature of the charges are unknown, but the Post also reported (citing anonymous U.S. officials) that the case is unrelated to the 2016 election.

What’s not to like about WikiLeaks speaking Truth to Power?
I thought the ‘Rats loved that sort of theater.
This jackass should still be in prison.

He can still plead the fifth
Charlie?
As referred to in the article, the thing is not a “her” or “she”. It’s a man...physiologically anyway.
So, is Bradley a eunuch yet, or is he still just a transvestite?
Shes a dude, Jim.
Manning's face had no pronounced male attributes like strong chin or thick brow bone..so needed no facial reconstruction....kinda rare that.
The dysphoria may have been genetic and not mental...it happens.
The security breach I can understand...it was Wikileaks that failed by not doing adequate redaction.
The night before he is due to show up in court for testimony, expect “Chelsea” to get sick, sick enough to (possibly) require Urgent Care.
“I don’t know what’s wrong, but suddenly I feel dizzy. I can barely walk and I sure can’t talk right now above a whisper.”
He/She/It.
‘Last minute drug play’ is what I would expect as well. The individual is too fragile to handle some event like this, and would be all drugged up. The additional problem is that it’s been a decade, and various details will not have been remembered so easily.
