Obama Commutes Bulk of [Bradley] Manning’s Sentence

President Obama on Tuesday largely commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted the administration, and made WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures, famous.

She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

Now, under the terms of Mr. Obama’s commutation announced by the White House on Tuesday, Ms. Manning is set to be freed in five months, on May 17 of this year, rather than in 2045.

Obama complains about "Russians" leaking DNC emails that show cheating in the election, and then he frees the person who leaked our own top secrets?

He's proving that he's not really serious about leaks.

Only a traitor would commute the sentence of a traitor.

Barky and Bradley are birds of a feather.
