Obama commutes sentence for Wikileaks leaker Chelsea Manning
 

Well at least he did that.. Hopefully he does the same for Snowden, but I doubt that will happen..

Assange said he would come home if Manning was set free. Will be interesting to see how this goes

We will see if Assange is a man of his word and if Snowden grows some balls to come home & face the music.

January 12, 2017 - Wikileaks to US: Release Manning and Julian Assange Will Agree to Extradition

January 12, 2017 - Edward Snowden, seeking pardon, asks Obama to free Chelsea Manning first - Washington Times

That's not what he said. He said he asked that if Obama was to choose between one or the other to pardon Manning not him.

“Mr. President, if you grant only one act of clemency as you exit the White House, please: free Chelsea Manning. You alone can save her life,” Mr. Snowden,

In 72 hours they will have to get their pardons from President Trump.

Does this mean the US taxpayers are now off the hook for the cost of the sex change? Somehow I doubt it. :disgust

You jealous that yours was denied?

Snowden's case is way too fresh, need to wait few more years...like at least 5, maybe 10.
:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:
also, some people are still really pissed off at him - as its still "fresh" issue.
yet, in 30-50-100 years, the people will learn history of XXI century from Snowden's case, and not from all those that were opposing what NSA/ other governments& agencies were/are doing yet remained silent....:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Russia is corrupt

I'm betting Snowden has to be scared as shit at the moment, due to the Trump/Putin love affair. If he's smart he better be planning his next move to get the fuck out of Russia. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't yet.

He wants the fuck out of Russia. He's been fighting to get to Norway but was rejected "safe travel" guarantee of no extradition Norwegian court declines to guarantee Edward Snowden?s safe travel

I can't wait to see what happens.

Not gonna happen, Manning made Bush look bad. Snowden made everybody look bad.

But I think most people already knew that the US was monitoring communications systems. They just didn't know the extent or methods.

My favorite part "Tailored Access Operations"

Yea, should be interesting

Perhaps the Trumper commutes Assange's sentence?

Assange has a sentence ?

:1orglaugh

Ok, as soon as you have finished sucking Trumps nob cheese.

ummm where've you been the last decade you numnuts?

snowden is a true american hero...the definiiton of patriot who exposed what was bad in his country and tried to make a difference though great personal sacrifice...it is a shame that USIS invaders get medals and money and heroes like snowden get hunted down...

First of all...who joins the military...then who becomes a girl...then i'm meh on the whole thing :(:helpme

Johnny dear, please do tell which court has sentenced Mr Assange and for how long ?

Ok Johnny.

But he has not been sentenced to anything.

Was really hoping for Snowden pardon, but Obongo is too much of a pussy.
