    If he was smart he would keep the word treason on the downlow considering his circumstances. But we all know Trump isn't smart.

    He probably isn't familiar with that word because it contains his least favorite word, reason.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Why should he do anything? Obama didn't give Manning a Pardon/Clemency. Big difference between a Pardon/Clemency and a Commutation.

    Actions have consequesnces. Commutation still shows she was legally wrong in the this data dump. She admits so. Said so during trial and pled guilty without benefit of a plea deal. Shows just how vindictive the government can be. Heres to hoping these last few months are easier on her than the previous 7 years.

    Trust me, I know the difference very well. By CM189191 stating next move Julian above, he is saying that Assange should turn himself in. That wasn't the deal, Commutation. It was he would turn himself in if a Pardon/Clemency was given.

    Commutation means your let out of jail with all charges still on your record, Commutation does not void the conviction. A Pardon/Clemency the convicted offender is forgiven of the crime and its penalty. Nice try, but two huge differences.

    heres why he said that. from an article by Reuters...
    Just last Thursday, anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, the recipient of materials from Manning, tweeted that its founder Julian Assange would agree to extradition if Manning was released.

    Didn't he specifically state a Pardon, not just released by Commutation.

    It really doesn't matter. We don't negotiate with terrorists anyways.

    Wow....Assange says he will serve time in prison if Obama grants Manning clemency.

    Not many humans walking the earth would offer that exchange, especially knowing the broomsticks that are literally waiting for his ass.

    Sounds like. Assange is ready for the broomsticks.

    Assange attorney:
    Manning extradition 'deal': "Everything that he has said he's standing by."

    as was noted above Clemency isnt commutation. Which is what Assange was "trading" for.
    Still she has a long 4 months ahead of her. lets try to keep some of the focus there.

    Ah-ha. Well well, Assange in prison, eh? It's certainly an interesting side note to the Manning saga. I wonder how much impact Assange's little promise had on the decision?? I guess he needs to assume a whole lot if he wants to sleep well at night. :lol:

    Well of course that's what he said, but just wondering if it actually was (FTR, I seriously doubt it).
    At any rate, apparently Assange is backing out of the deal. Again. Lol.

    well at least she is out. i had a feeling trump et al would have sought additional charges or tried to find a way to keep her locked up.
