The commutation of Chelsea Manning's sentence demonstrates that this Russia/Wikileaks outrage has been 100% phony.
No need to discuss the issue anymore.
Your hero Tom "I'm a Warrior, Hear Me Roar" Cotton is plenty outraged, Herr Professor.
Yes. His outrage has been consistent. It is the democratic outrage that is phony comrade.
So I don't know Obama's thinking on the matter, but he could have granted clemency at any point. My guess is that he felt that a jail sentence was warranted, but not necessarily 35 years. He felt that 7 years was sufficient.

Right. Giving national security secrets to wikileaks shouldn't be judge so harshly but giving DNC/Podesta secrets to wikileaks necessitates sanctions and the removal of diplomats. I am ok with sanctions and diplomatic response to Russia but on the whole the commutation sends the wrong signal. It suggests that democrats only care about hacking/wikileaks when it effects them and not national security.

@BS44325 Seven years in jail is much harsher than an expulsion of diplomats. Plus they will just be back next week anyway, staying in the East Wing. And maybe he called Assange's bluff.
Both of these articles are restricted. Do you have a Boston Herald sign in? The other one requires white listing. So I didn't do it.
Regardless, I'm all for putting Teddy through the ringer if he conspired with the USSR. But does that excuse Trump?
U need paywall pass... Excuse Trump of what? Only he, Obama and the Hateful 8 know what was really done between Trump and Russia.
....of conspiring with a foreign government. See, he sees this as another business transaction. It's perfectly legitimate to do what he did when cutting a business deal. We do it all the time. But in politics and national elections? It's a huge problem.
Brennan: the "dossier" didn't come from the intelligence community, and Brennan never read it and he heard rumors about it circulating for months.
Obama: the intelligence community has no information on how wikileaks obtained the DNC material and he referred to it as a "leak"
Because Craig Murray said so?
5 security and law enforcement agencies are investigating the"leak," one of which is the Treasury Department's financial crimes unit. Follow the money. Your boy is going down and if not, he'll make America Great Again starting on Monday.

"......First of all, I haven’t commented on WikiLeaks generally. The conclusions of the intelligence community with respect to the Russian hacking were not conclusive as to whether WikiLeaks was witting or not in being the conduit through which we heard about the DNC e-mails that were leaked....."

I never said he never said Russia hacking, but when specifically referring to the DNC material he used the term "leaks". And about those "goods"?
I don't understand what your point is. Brennan said that the CIA did not leak the dossier to the press. He didn't say that the dossier didn't exist or the agency doesn't have a copy of it. He has made no public judgment to its accuracy.

So, what are you implying and what were you implying by your previous post? That Seth Rich paid the price, right?

The goods I'm referring to are the methods used by our intelligence agencies to gather information and know what they know. They, and rightly so, don't always share what they know. There are 5 active investigations into the Russian hacking and ties to the Trump campaign. Obama is not going to pull a Comey. Treasury will get to the bottom of it. Follow the money.
Russia "hacked" the DNC and stole the emails. Then the "leaked" them, probably through a third, fourth, fifth.....one hundredth party to Wikileaks. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp, JC?
