White House would consider Bradley/ Chelsea Manning pardon request

The Hill  "The White House said Wednesday that it would consider a clemency petition for Bradley Manning "like any other application" after the Army private was sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking a cache of documents to WikiLeaks.  Video 

 

"There's a process for pardon applications or clemency applications, I believe they're called," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "And I'm not going to get ahead of that process. If there is an application that's filed by Mr. Manning or his attorneys, that application will be considered in that process like any other application."

"Manning's attorney said shortly after his sentencing that he would ask the White House for a pardon. He added that even if the president did not do so, Obama should commute Manning's sentence to time already served."

Obama, being a friend of Bill Ayres- who hates the US military- can be expected to show his true colors with a pardon of Manning on his last day as president.

Bradley Manning says he wants to live as a woman, be called Chelsea

" 'As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me," Manning said in the statement. "I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.' "  And pay for it as well.

From This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here: Oh, my bad, it’s CHELSEA Manning now. . . how could I have been so silly?
 ...."I have no doubt before long he’ll somehow turn into a rally cry for every transgendered person that has anything to do with the military.  I have no doubt that while all this is going on, he’ll send out “statements” which will reaffirm he’s the victim in all of this, and the evil nasty military won’t allow him to be self actualized."
