GOPer Sasse on POTUS pardons: "This is rotten to the core"

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) blasted President Trump Wednesday evening over the latest pardons POTUS provided for political allies Paul Manafort and Roger Stone. The senator said the pardons are "rotten to the core," and while he's the first GOP member to come down on Trump over a president's constitutional right to pardon, he will likely not be the last.

In Sasse's statement he specifically mentioned both men, saying that "felons like Manafort and Stone" . . . "had flagrantly and repeatedly violated the law and harmed Americans."

Trump also pardoned Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The elder Kushner pleaded guilty in 2004 of 16 counts of tax evasion and retaliating against a witness. He served two years in the slammer. The whereabouts of the witness is unknown.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris "I Ate the Whole Thing" Cristy, was the prosecutor in the case of Charles Kushner. Cristy said his crimes were among the most “loathsome” he had dealt with.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the loathsome Democratic prosecutor during Trump’s impeachment trial, called Manafort’s pardon particularly outrageous and blamed Russia for influencing Trump's decision and for clogging up Schiff's toilet.

Interestingly, neither Schiff nor Sasse nor any Democratic congressperson had said anything negative about the myriad pardons of drug dealers and worse regarding the huge number of pardons by former President Obama. 

Apparently selling cocaine to kids, embezzlement, conspiracy to launder money, identity theft, conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, knowingly buying a firearm for a felon, distribution of heroin, armed bank robbery, destruction of mail matter by a postal employee [not mail-in votes this time], manslaughter, conspiracy to distribute phenylacetic acid, "devising a scheme to defraud the United States of money and property and devising a scheme to deprive the United States Bankruptcy Court and the citizens of the United States of honest services," and Bradley Manning's 35 year sentence for providing top classified military information to Wikileaks being commuted isn't as grievous as Manafort's and Stone's political hit jobs by the Left.

.Manning even tried a run for a congressional seat but thankfully lost, which disappointed Democrats and RINOs alike.

Not to mention the sentences, mostly drug and weapons-related commuted by Obama.

But it's only when Trump does it that it is "rotten to the core."

Chelsea Manning tries to kill himself in jail legal team claims

Chelsea [Bradley] Manning

Former Army intelligence analyst who formerly went by his given name, Bradley Manning, tried to "take her [his] own life" in a Virginia jail on Wednesday just prior to a court date, his legal team said.

Manning has been recovering from the alleged suicide attempt and is still expected to appear in court for a hearing Friday after he refused to testify before a grand jury in a WikiLeaks probe, the attorneys said.

Manning, who believes he is a woman and dresses the part, was re-arrested last May for failing to comply with the subpoena to testify after serving two months for the same issue.

A judge is ready to rule Friday on a motion to terminate the civil contempt sanctions stemming from his May refusal.

He told the judge in May he’d “rather starve to death” than comply with the subpoena. He is probably lying because he loves himself too much to go through with it.

Bradley [Chelsea] Manning

“In spite of those sanctions -- which have so far included over a year of so-called 'coercive' incarceration and nearly half a million dollars in threatened fines -- she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse,” his legal team wrote in a statement complying with his wish to go along with his gender delusion.

Manning was found guilty of espionage and theft in 2013 and was sentenced to 35 years in prison after he leaked classified documents to Wikileaks. Had it not been for the equally despicable Obama administration, that commuted the traitor's sentence in 2017, he would still be in prison.

They will probably make a Netflix series about this POS and glorify him.

CIA coder charged in massive leak: he was being 'vindictive'

New York -- A CIA software engineer is on trial for the largest leak of classified information in the agency's history. He was "prepared to do anything" to betray the CIA, federal prosecutors said Monday. His defense lawyer argued that the coder had been scapegoated for a breach that exposed highly classified cyber-weapons and spying techniques.

A Manhattan jury heard conflicting portrayals of Joshua Schulte, a former CIA coder who has been accused of sending WikiLeaks a large portion of the agency's computer hacking arsenal used to conduct foreign espionage. WikiLeaks is the website that had compromised the security of the United States by leaking a myriad of classified information provided to them by US Army's Bradley Manning, a man who identifies as a woman.

Schulte left a trail of evidence despite learned attempts to erase his digital fingerprints, Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Laroche said in closing arguments. Schulte became disgruntled at the CIA, he said, and took meticulous steps to plan -- and cover up -- the 2016 theft.

"He was the only one who had the motive, the means and the opportunity to steal the information," Laroche said. "He was prepared to do anything to get back at the CIA."

He should be shot and hanged then shot again.

Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff called Schulte a patriot who was wrongly accused by an agency under intense pressure to solve the embarrassing leak. The four-week trial raised more questions than it answered and exposed alarming security lapses within the agency, she said, without evidence.

"The government cannot tell you which of the many people with access to this data" stole the classified archive, she said. "It wasn't Mr. Schulte who did this." It was Trump, if you ask her.

Jurors are expected to begin deliberating Tuesday. Schulte faces counts of illegal gathering of national defence information, unauthorized computer access, theft of government property and making false statements, among other charges. If found guilty, unlike Hillary Clinton who used a private bathroom-located private server for her government classified emails, Schulte will go to prison.

Schulte, 31, worked for a CIA group in Langley, VA. His team designed computer code used to spy on foreign government adversaries. The Vault 7 leak, as it is called, revealed to our enemies how the CIA hacks into Android and Apple cell phones.

Prosecutors have said the leak was devastating to national security, as it exposed CIA operatives, brought intelligence gathering to a halt and left allies wondering whether the U.S. could be trusted with sensitive information.

Shoot once, hang, then shoot again.

"The defendant was prepared to burn down the United States government," Laroche said. "He is an angry and vindictive man."

Bradley Manning in drag

While it hasn't been publicly announced, Schulte is planning to ask for Bradley's [aka Chelsea] junk in marriage if he can walk away from this situation without going to the slammer.

Manning, as you may recall, had his prison sentence commuted by then-President Obama and was released in 2017 after serving only seven years in prison.

He should have been shot, then hung, and shot once more.

Schulte is also accused of attempting to leak secrets after his arrest by using a contraband cell phone in the federal lockup where he is being held and creating encrypted email and secret social media accounts, proving that he isn't very smart and possibly not a very good coder.

Assange indicted on 18 counts, alleged coordination with Manning to leak security docs

A federal grand jury returned an 18-count superseding indictment on Thursday and charged WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange with a number of offenses over his alleged role in one of the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history.

It's alleged in the indictment that Assange coordinated with former Army intelligence analyst then-Bradley, now-Chelsea Manning to leak classified documents related to U.S. war and diplomacy efforts around the world.

U.S. officials say Assange worked in concert with Manning to hack into a classified government computer, kind of espionage-ish.

Manning, who served only a few years in prison for leaking to WikiLeaks, was again jailed in March after he refused to testify to a grand jury regarding WikiLeaks.

Ben Brandon, a U.S. government attorney, said in court earlier this month that American investigators had acquired details of communications between Manning and Assange in 2010. The two had allegedly “engaged in real time discussions regarding Chelsea Manning’s dissemination of confidential records to Mr. Assange.” 

Brandon said that the downloaded records from a classified computer included 90,000 Afghanistan war activity reports, 250,000 State Department cables, 400,000 Iraq war reports, and 800 Guantanamo Bay detainee assessments.

Earlier this month, Assange, 47, told a British court he would not agree to be extradited to the U.S. where he’s facing the charges of conspiracy to hack a classified Pentagon computer.

He addressed the court on May 2 via video link from a prison in London, saying he wouldn’t “surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many awards and protected many people.”

Hacking into a classified computer isn't journalism. It's espionage and if Assange is found guilty, which he probably would be, he would face extremely long prison time.

That May 2 hearing came just a day after the WikiLeaks founder was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison in the U.K. for jumping bail in 2012 and hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden where he was wanted for questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations.

Federal judge orders Manning jailed again

You can put lipstick on a . . . 

Former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning has been ordered back to jail by a U.S. District Judge, Anthony Trenga, Thursday after he refused to comply with a new grand jury subpoena in the WikiLeaks case in which he assisted WikiLeaks in obtaining over 100,000 classified military documents. This was the biggest classified document dump in American history but in spite of that, former President Obama commuted his sentence.

“Attempting to coerce me with a grand jury subpoena is not going to work. I will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury,” Manning said before entering the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Va. This was his way of "Manning up."

Manning told the court he “would rather starve to death” than cooperate with the grand jury. I say give him his wish.

Manning, a man who believes himself to be a woman,  was freed earlier this month after 62 days in jail for refusing to testify with the previous grand jury. He was released from jail when the grand jury’s term ended but was served with another subpoena requiring him to appear before a new grand jury.

An indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange alleges he conspired with Manning to hack into a Pentagon computer network in 2010. Remember, you can't have Assange without "Ass."

Manning was convicted at a court martial trial in 2013 of leaking a trove of documents to WikiLeaks. Manning's 35-year prison sentence was commuted by former failed President Barack Obama just days before the end of his presidency in January 2017.

Assange, who was living in asylum in Ecuador’s Embassy in London since 2012, was arrested last month and sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for breaking his bail conditions after he took refuge in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden to face a rape allegation.

U.S. prosecutors are seeking to extradite Assange after he’s released from jail, but Sweden recently reopened the rape investigation, complicating those efforts.

Hopefully justice will be done and Manning will rot in prison.

The judge ruled that if Manning doesn't comply with the grand jury subpoena after 30 days he will be fined $500 a day, the official said. The fine would go up to $1000 a day if he continues to refuse to testify after 60 days, according to the official.

It is unknown whether Manning has officially had his genitals removed and reshaped to sort of resemble the genitalia of a woman. Inquiring minds don't care one way or the other.

UPDATE: Chelsea Manning barred from entering Australia

"My Adam's apple is bobbing up and down."

UPDATE: New Zealand has agreed to allow Manning entry into the country in spite of his status as a convicted felon for his traitorous acts. Evidently, you have to kill your family in order to be banned from entering New Zealand.

Convicted classified information leaker and a man with gender identity disorder who changed his name from Bradley to Chelsea Manning will be barred from entering the land "down under," his event organizer said Thursday.

The Australian government sent Manning's team a notice of intention denying the mentally ill piece of human excrement entry, according to Think Inc. who organized the event but called referred to him as a woman.

The organizers said they gave the government over 10 letters from organizations and people who support the treasonous dickweed's visit to Australia, but alas, to no avail.

"Ms. Manning [LOL] offers formidable ideas and an insightful perspective which we are hoping to bring to the forefront of Australian dialogue," Think Inc. Director Suzi Jamil wrote in a statement.

Non-citizens visiting Australia must fall under the character requirements put out by the Migration Act. Those who fail the character test can be denied, and Mr. Manning failed spectacularly.

Think Inc. is calling on Manning's supporters to lobby new Immigration Minister David Coleman to allow him into Australia, where he's scheduled to speak in a dress, lipstick and frilly undies at the Sydney Opera House and two additional events. While the dude can appeal, past precedent suggests his butt will be but another butt not permitted entry.

This isn't the first time Manning was denied entry to a country. Canada barred him last year but he was later allowed to appear as a woman at another event, Reuters said.

After his trip to Australia, he's expected to go to New Zealand and Immigration there expects to make a decision as to whether they want a scumcrumpet coming into their country dressed as a woman who turned on his own country. They must decide whether to grant him a "special direction" visa because he doesn't qualify for entry otherwise because of his criminal conviction within the last 10 years. Those are New Zealand's visa rules, but one suspects they will cave to him due to the fear of being a nation referred to by the left as "transphobic."

Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison after he was found guilty of leaking military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. He served a mere seven years before his sentence was commuted in 2017 by Barack Obama, a president who doesn't know how to pronounce "corpsman" and thought the United States was comprised of 57 states, obviously confusing America with John Kerry's wife's Heinz Corporation with their 57 varieties.

It's obvious that politics is as confused as Manning's belief about his gender.

Obama commutes sentence of American traitor

It comes as no surprise that Lame Duck President Obama would commute the remaining prison sentence of Bradley (aka Chelsea) Manning, the convicted Army intelligence analyst who, in 2010, provided WikiLeaks with over 700,000 documents on military and domestic activities across the world. 

It wouldn't even surprise me if Obama agrees to pay for Manning's penis removal procedure to make him look like the woman his delusion has him believe.

This is just another "flipping of the bird" by Obama to the American right and Trump. It's his last hurrah as president and it stinks.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, said that if Obama agreed to commute Manning's sentence that he would agree to extradition and come to the United States.

Manning tried to commit suicide twice last year, fearful of being a transgender person at an all male military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He has been there for almost 7 years and his 35-year sentence was the longest ever imposed in the USA for a leak conviction. Perhaps that was due to the fact that it was the largest leak of classified military information in the history of the United States. 

Manning is lucky he didn't get the death sentence.

Now he's scheduled for release on May 17th of this year, rather than in 2045. This will take the burden off the military who is being pushed by Manning for treatment of his gender dysphoria (a fancy term for delusions) and for surgery to remove his penis and replace it with tissue to make him look like a woman.

Now all Obama has to do to put the icing on the finger is for him to pardon Edward Snowden and allow him to leave Mother Russia and come home again.

Sad!

Delusional man who believes he's a woman tries suicide again

Kansas City, Mo. -- Chelsea Manning, a man whose given name was Bradley which he changed to Chelsea because he has gender identity confusion, tried to off himself for the second unsuccessful time.

Manning is in prison for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks, a website that reveals classified information and compromises countries and people's lives. 

The disgraced transgender soldier had tried to kill himself back in July and was put into solitary confinement as punishment. This made him sad.

His attorneys, Vincent Ward and Chase Strangio gave the news of this suicide attempt to the press but declined to discuss the details of last month's attempt. However, it is safe to say that there is no change in Manning's mental status as he continues to believe he's a woman and would like his penis removed and inverted to provide himself with visual evidence.

Although his lawyers will not discuss the suicide, they did talk about his prison conditions, including a solitary confinement that exacerbated his fragile mental state. 

In an email to the AP, Strangio called 'her' treatment since 'her' 2010 arrest and subsequent time serving a mere 35-year sentence instead of a capital sentence, "demoralizing and destabilizing assaults on [her] health and humanity."

Perhaps if political correctness was avoided and real mental health interventions were tried, he wouldn't try to kill himself. 

But referring to transgender men by the opposite pronoun is an abuse of logic. Biologically, Manning is a man--it is only "on paper" that he's a 'her', and biology is a fact, not delusions.

If Manning thought that he was a rhesus monkey in human flesh, would we treat him like a monkey just to be PC?

Personally, I don't like traitors and I don't give a damn that Manning feels demoralized. Manning was arrested in 2010 and convicted in 2013 for leaking over 700,000 highly classified documents of the military and the State Department to WikiLeaks. 

What he did was seditious and in times of war, the death penalty would have been the punishment.

But insofar as assaulting his health, both physical and mental, I believe there are better interventions than simply going along with a delusion--and that goes for all people who believe they are not the gender that biology has assigned to them. 

Psychotherapy is the best way to go, but even the field of psychology and psychiatry have become politicized and what was once called "gender identification disorder" is now called "gender dysphoria" because the authors of the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Revision) were pressured into 'normalizing' the delusion of gender indentification confusion.

And politicizing diagnoses is a load of bull.

In spite of that, the ACLU sued the U.S. Department of Defense over its refusal to "treat" Manning's gender dysphoria. They wanted the DoD to pay for the surgically removal of Manning's penis and make it look like a vagina as a way to treat his mental problem.

Miss Chelsea Manning on hunger strike

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas -- Miss Chelsea Manning is on a hunger strike to protest the horrible conditions for better treatment at Fort Leavenworth prison. The poor dear says 'she' will not voluntarily allow even one morsel of sustenance to pass through 'her' painted lips, but, if somebody shoves food down 'her' delicate throat, it doesn't forfeit the hunger strike. 

"I simply dare any man to try putting anything down my throat," Chelsea said. "I will not eat, I will NOT eat," the wannabe woman added. "I dare you."

Chelsea is a transgender traitor imprisoned in Kansas for leaking classified information to Julian Scumcrumpet Assange of WikiLeaks while serving the enemies of the United States in our Army.

Although 'she' used to be a man, 'she' is now sporting skin between her legs engineered to resemble a vagina, and given female hormones to make 'her' sound feminine, like Hillary Clinton when she isn't yelling.

The traitorous Manning said 'she' began the hunger strike on Friday due to her requests for better treatment that have been ignored. She refuses to consume anything except 'her' medication and water. Maybe a biscuit if nobody's looking.

In a statement, Manning said the hunger strike will go on until 'she' receives the "minimum standards of dignity, respect and humanity." And 'she' is prepared to die in the process.

One can only hope.

Miss Manning was arrested as Bradley Manning, and was convicted in 2013 in a military court of leaking over 700,000 secret military and State Department documents to the WikiLeaks website.

Had Manning only known at the time that he could have used the "Hillary Clinton Defense" strategy, 'she' may have avoided prison, and perhaps even campaigned for Hillary.

The Army is, unfortunately, looking into the hunger strike situation. Hopefully, they will take their time .  .  .  lots of time.

Chelsea nee Bradley Manning fails at suicide too

Traitor and scumcrumpet,  Chelsea Manning, is serving a mere 35-year sentence for his role in leaking U.S. government secrets. 

Chelsea, who changed his name from Bradley (because he wanted to be born a woman) tried to hang himself and was found in time and sent to hospital. 

The transgender traitor was convicted in 2013 of espionage as well as other offenses after he sent Wikileaks over 700 thousand digital files that included diplomatic files, battlefield logs and video clips. Unfortunately, he was not sentenced to death, but it seems that he's having a tough time dealing with his future.

The suicide attempt occurred at Fort Leavenworth, an all-male facility in Kansas, and CNN reports that Manning, be he Chelsea or Bradley, has been released and is under suicide watch.

Chelsea recently wrote an article for The Guardian regarding the new U.S. rules allowing for men who feel like women, women who feel like men, and both men and women who feel neutral, to openly serve in the military. 

I suspect he supports the idea that transgender people be allowed to serve openly, in spite of the fact that it might compromise the morale, and that Manning serves as an example of why it isn't a good idea (if you believe the existence of a relationship between sexual identity confusion and espionage).

"Gender presentation should reflect the person that you are," Manning wrote. "When you lose control of your gender presentation you lose an important aspect of your identity and existence. By setting so many caveats, time lines, standards, and training, the military is making this far, far, more complicated and bureaucratic than it needs to be. The simple reality is that we are who we say we are."

Good thing he doesn't say he's an anal sphincter.

The NY Times: America's Most Red Paper

Chelsea Manning had an Op Ed in the Gray Lady, aka The New York Times. You should remember Chelsea as Bradley Manning, but he has since changed his name to fit his self-image of a woman trapped inside a traitor's body.  It seems fitting that someone like Chelsea would write for America's most red paper.

Back in 1996, The New York Times did an obituary piece on another American traitor, Alger Hiss, who died all too soon at the age of 92. The evidence of Hiss's guilt was overwhelming but the paper referred to Alger Hiss as: " . . . the erudite diplomat and Harvard trained government lawyer who was convicted of perjury in an espionage case that became one of the great riddles of the Cold War . . . " in an article by Janny Scott. 

But columnist, George Will said that Hiss's claim to innocence up to the time of his death had become "one of the long-running lies of modern American history." I tend to believe Will and those who testified against Hiss who had no ax to grind.

It seems that the Times always goes out of its way to defend or glorify those who hate America. 

Back to Miss Manning. on August 21, 2013 the editorial board wrote that they believe the 35 year sentence Chelsea received was too severe (see New York Times ).

"He had previously pleaded guilty to lesser versions of those [Espionage Act] crimes that exposed him to 20 years behind bars. For a defense lawyer, a sentence of one-third the potential maximum [90 years] is usually not a bad outcome. But from where we sit, it is still too much, given his stated desire not to betray his country but to encourage debate on American aims and shed light on the "day to day" realities of the American war effort."

So Chelsea gave over 700,000 classified government documents to Wikileaks, the largest cache of secret material ever made public in American history for all our enemies to see, He broke the law, betrayed his oath as a military intelligence analyst, helped the enemies of the United States with information, and The New York Times thinks 35 years is "too long by any standard." 

No, 35 years is too long by The New York Times' standard because they believe Manning's intentions supersede his behavior. That makes as much sense as a drunk driver claiming he didn't mean to jump the curb and kill those people.

Mad Magazine once made light of the Times with a masthead that read: "For all the news that fits we print," a take-off on their actual slogan. The trouble is, that is no longer true of the Times, and most of the mainstream media. They often do not print what they don't want you to read. You have to get your real news from the blogs and a few conservative news outlets.

Bradley Manning: Hero of Traitor

If you don't know who Bradley Manning is, you probably need help reading this blog. He was charged with 22 offenses including the communication of national defense information and aiding the enemy. The 5 foot 2 inch Manning gave the information to WikiLeaks and they posted hundreds of thousands of these classified documents and video online. The material included a July 12, 2007 video of a Baghdad airstrike and an airstrike in Granai, Afghanistan. There were also about 250 thousand sensitive diplomatic cables  and half a million army reports which came to be known as the Iraqi and Afhan War logs. Little Manning has the distinction to having leaked the largest number of restricted documents ever to the public. 

The Other Ed Show

Edward Snowden is a 29 year old high school dropout who leaked Top Secret information to the Guardian newspaper of England. Snowden worked for the NSA for four years, and currently for Booz Allen Hamilton, a defense contractor. He had also worked for Dell and he is in Hong Kong trying to seek asylum in any country that will have him. Regarding the leak, Snowden is quoted as saying: "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong."
