*****BREAKING***** POTUS COMMUTES CHELSEA MANNING'S SENTENCE- TO BE REALEASED IN MAY ! [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2017 OP

Best Prez ever! bravenak Jan 2017 #1

Commuted her sentence, to be exact. herding cats Jan 2017 #2

Unless it was edited there was no reference to gender in the OP. George II Jan 2017 #5

so what? mopinko Jan 2017 #7

The OP stated she'd been pardoned. herding cats Jan 2017 #8

As I said, "unless it was edited " George II Jan 2017 #21

The OP simply used the name CHELSEA -- karynnj Jan 2017 #11

Might as well say it here. I favor the pardon because she didn't have a political motive. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2017 #14

Didn't Snowden forego his pardon based on the commutation of Manning's prison term? n/t Tarheel_Dem Jan 2017 #22
