Bolling on Chelsea Manning Commutation: ‘This Is Insane’

‘ — leaking a three quarters of a million documents to WikiLeaks that would put military members at risk’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOLLING: “This is insane. Justice has been served. Chelsea Manning, Bradley Manning, Chelsea Manning got 35 years for violating the espionage act, stealing government property, computer fraud, multiple counts of disobeying orders, and leaking a three quarters of a million documents to WikiLeaks that would put military members at risk. That’s very different from other things President Obama may be referring to. This guy, gal now, put a lot of Americans at risk. Maybe people died because of some of the things that were leaked. At one point we were going to go after Chelsea Manning or Bradley Manning for treason. A capital crime. Open to the death penalty. President Obama commutes the sentence after he said seven years. It’s three years since the conviction. This is insane. You’re absolutely telling people who may be thinking about it, you know, seven years. If you get 35 and no chance of parole, that’s a different story than getting out in seven years.”
