He has a difficult time Manning up?
Now that the he/she issue has been addressed, it might be a good idea to realize this is ALL about Assange.
Manning was convicted of releasing classified documents to an uncleared journalist. Did 7 yrs of the sentence and the rest was commuted. Doesn’t really matter if you think more time should have been served. The time served was what the law required. This person paid the punishment.
It’s not about this person. It’s ALL about Assange. The deep state and GOPe want him nailed. There are a lot of people in government who were humiliated by the Cables’ release. They managed to stay in government and now they are after him.
They would be after him regardless of Podesta’s email array.
He did nothing different than newspaper reporters do everyday, nudging and pushing sources to get them information. He provided publicly available information on password cracking to Manning and because the deep staters in DoJ include some who were humiliated and do not dare walk too close to the journalism thing, the best they could do was a password thing.
Manning committed a crime. Served sentence. Assange is in fear of his life, and should be. Turn him loose. Let him get back to the job of publishing information humiliating to the deep state.
