Chelsea Manning petitions President Obama to reduce his/her/it 35-year sentence to time served before leaving office

She better have sent a check too.

Obama will say no
Trump will pardon it

Is it me, or would it have been better to keep it to 3/4's of a page?

Anyone think they forced him to go trans as part of his punishment?

this poor thing

but didnt obama, being commander in chief; mannings boss, essentially put him in prison to begin with? why would he renege now? just because manning could be pardoned by an out-going pres.? get the fuck out of here with that shit!

lol, he got 35 years! 35 YEARS!!!!!! and HRC got nada.

Interesting in his plea to the pres. he says "..I've been placed in solitary confinement as a disciplinary measure for an attempted suicide..."

for an attempted suicide. No, "for my attempted suicide.." as if it was a random act. taking zero responsibility. I wonder how the military guards treat him.

.

I have a suspicion that Manning and Bergdahl are going to be in
Ft Leavenworth for DECADES after Trump leaves office.

.

ugh ok, and then he leaves out what happened by him leaking the stuff..still reading but at one moment he's sad and in kuwait and then he's in the brig...wtf?

its really too bad that being gay or trans isn't looked at as a mental health issue anymore. because really that is what it is. geez! these people are totally lost.

already a thread on it.....

Thread: wow, while in prison,Pfc. Bradley manning gets sex change opera, now Chelsea requests pardon from Obummer after 6 yrs serv.

Yup...I started out feeling sorry for it. After page 2 I was like blah blah blah

It would be a lot more powerful in fewer words to get everything in 1 - 2 pages at most
