(62,325 posts)I could not have been more clear and have no idea what you think you are implying.
Manning, from all that I have read about him, would not lie to save himself.
Your assumption that he might 'implicate' Assange in a plea deal makes no sense. How can you implicate a news publisher and editor for accepting information from a source? If that has become a crime in this country we are far worse off than we knew.
And why would this government want Assange implicated when they already know, as does the rest of the world, that Manning was a source for Wikileaks? That's what Wikileaks does, they invite sources from all the over the world, whistle-blowers, to provide them with news-worthy information in a safe way. They have never yet revealed a source. They were doing this for several years before Manning contacted them. Funny how no one ever suggested in this country that they were doing anything illegal. On the contrary, they received many awards for their work.
Sarah Palin of course thinks Assange is a traitor and should be given the death penalty. Never mind that he is an Australian. But hopefully she is not making policy for this government.
If you don't want to answer the questions, that is your choice.
