WikiLeaks Attorney on Manning Guilty Verdict: BLOWING WHISTLE on U.S. War Crimes is NOT ESPIONAGE

[PowerToThePeople]

30. Schenck said Lind has already been informed that she will take up a new position

“[Judge Col. Denise Lind] Yeah, she’s been given, apparently, from a Washington Post report, an appellate judge job, the higher court, which I found pretty extraordinary. I don’t know whether it’s — I don’t think it’s necessarily illegal, but it does — it’s interesting to me that she’s going upstairs during the very trial that’s going on, and given that promotion. And it reminded me when the Ellsberg judge, the judge in Daniel Ellsberg’s case, the federal judge, during Ellsberg’s trial on espionage was offered to be the head of the FBI, secretly, by the Nixon administration. And, of course, there was a huge stink. I don’t see any stink so far in any of the media about the fact that Denise Lind, the judge, is being offered a higher position.”

Schenck said Lind has already been informed that she will take up a new position, as a judge on the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals, when the Manning trial ends. And she said Lind will not be swayed by the politics of the case.
