Chelsea Manning Set To Be Released From Prison, 28 Years Early (nbcnews.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NBC News: Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning is set to walk out of prison Wednesday -- but she won't be entirely free. Manning's 35-year sentence for leaking an enormous trove of military intelligence records was commuted by President Barack Obama in January. But Manning is still appealing her conviction in a case that could take years, and the government has yet to respond to the appeal. And all the while, Private First Class Manning, 29, will remain an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army. She won't be paid a salary, and it's highly unlikely that she will be called to serve. But being placed on voluntary excess leave rather than discharged, says one of her attorneys, makes her vulnerable to new military punishment or charges if she steps out of line. Such an offense could be anything from getting into a fistfight to revealing previously unreleased classified information. Manning could even get into trouble with the military for speaking and writing. The Army private then known as Bradley Manning was just 22-year-old when she leaked nearly 750,000 military files and cables to WikiLeaks. Manning was court-martialed and sentenced in 2013 to 35 years in prison, with opportunity for parole after seven years served. n a statement given to the TODAY show the day after sentencing, Manning came out as a transgender woman. Last Tuesday, in Manning's first official statement about her plans after prison, she said, "I can see a future for myself as Chelsea."
Trump consistently acts incompetent, and needs a serious medical check-up to verify his cognitive capability to remain president or be removed for medical reasons (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or simply Dementia, etc.)
Info the Israelis gave to us in confidence, that we very well won't be getting any more of in the future, because Trump is an imbecile.
The only people saying the intel was from Israel are the media and an anonymous source in the government. Yet we were told by the media only a day earlier that the Russians could reverse engineer the intelligence provided by the POTUS despite him never mentioning the source. In fact, according to the National Security Advisor the President was not told of the origin. Strange how the media can reveal the presumed source (nation state) of the intelligence but mere false rumours about the President telling the Russian Ambassador and Foreign Minister about the threat not the origin of the information is enough to get the media into a genital licking orgy.
Someone clearly wasn't paying attention.
FSB hits! FSB hits! Your democracy dies. Do you want your possessions identified?
Black & white worldview... You know that's an indication of a personality disorder*?
In fact there's little difference between men and women _excepting_ the sexual organs themselves and people without functioning sexual organs aren't that uncommon. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make your crappy ramblings true.
(* well it _is_ true but most people like that are simply either idiots or assholes)
