Looks like the deep state went be happy until it's gotten its retribution against everyone who helped Trump win. ---- Chelsea Manning taken into custody for refusing to testify before secret grand jury By ALI DUKAKIS Mar 8, 2019, 11:52 AM ET Chelsea Manning, an anti-secrecy activist and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst whose release of classified information to WikiLeaks in 2010 sparked worldwide controversy over transparency in the military and whistleblower protections, was taken into custody at a federal court on Friday after a federal judge found her in contempt of court for refusing to answer questions before a secret grand jury. In late January, Manning was subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in a sealed case out of the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia -- the same district in which the government recently inadvertently revealed the existence of a sealed indictment against WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange. On Friday, after refusing to answer the grand jury’s questions, U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton found Manning in contempt of court and ordered her to be held in jail until she decides to testify or until the grand jury concludes its work -- which could be up to 18 months, a lawyer for Manning said. http://abc...t-grand-jury/story?id=61556616 |

' why can't Donald pardon Manning, instead of wasting his powers of pardons on shitheads like sheriff arapaio, if Manning helped him to the WH? |

rank | Fri Mar 08 20:25:04 2019 If jailing Manning = retribution to wikileaks for helping to elect Trump, then pardoning Manning would put a stop to this retribution, no? |

rank | Fri Mar 08 21:11:16 2019 how is my statement about reversing the supposed deep state attack on donald 'diverts' the thread about deep state attack on donald? Pardon wouldn't be about trump's feeling about manning, it would be about striking back at the deep state |
