WikiLeaks source Chelsea Manning was released from Virginia jail Thursday more than two months since being found in contempt for refusing to testify in front of a federal grand jury.
Manning has been served with another subpoena to testify next week, however, and could be held again in contempt again and jailed accordingly, her legal team said in a statement.
“Today marked the expiration of the term of the grand jury, and so, after 62 days of confinement, Chelsea was released from the Alexandria Detention Center earlier today,” her lawyers said late Thursday. “Unfortunately, even prior to her release, Chelsea was served with another subpoena. This means she is expected to appear before a different grand jury, on Thursday, May 16, 2019.”
“Chelsea will continue to refuse to answer questions, and will use every available legal defense to prove to District Judge Trenga that she has just cause for her refusal to give testimony,” her legal team said in a statement.
The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office confirmed Manning’s release when reached Thursday evening by The Washington Times.

AGREED!
This guy should have been executed as a spy and for treason.
Hey, go easy on Manning!
I’ve decided to “self-identify” as the King Of Lichtenstein.
You may address me as “Your Highness”!
On Casual Fridays, “Excellency” will do.

BTW, FR seems obsessed with his gender.
Our opinions differ and I'm concerned about him (and others) being in the military, especially in intelligence with a mental disorder.
He not only broke his oath of office when he entered the military, he was convicted of six counts of espionage along with being found guilty on other counts. In short, he is a traitor!
Seven years in the slammer doesn't cut it and the president that commuted the other 28 years wasn't worth spit as a CinC or as an American. JMHO
