Manning goes back to jail for refusing to testify

DC: A federal judge remanded Chelsea Manning into federal custody Thursday for again refusing to testify before a grand jury in the WikiLeaks investigation.

The former U.S. Army intelligence analyst returns to jail after being released May 9 because the grand jury term expired. Manning, 31, had previously served 62 days for refusing to testify about releasing thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, according to CNN.

“Manning holds the keys to the jailhouse door,” U.S. Attorney Thomas Traxler argued during the proceedings.

Manning told Judge Anthony Trenga there would be no compliance with the subpoena.

“I would rather starve to death than change my opinions in that regard,” Manning said.

“There’s nothing dishonorable in fulfilling your obligation as a United States citizen,” Trenga replied.

In addition to ordering Manning back to jail, the judge also ruled Manning be assessed fines of $500 per day after 30 days and $1,000 per day after 60 days. more here

    I say we give this pussy a chance to prove that assertion.

    If there was a “damage to country” scale for traitorous acts, Manning would break it. Everyday that he is not in prison insults all Americans.

    I like the fine idea. Rich lefties will step up to contribute, more money for the wall.

    Actually, he had a cellmate name Bruno who he got to know pretty well after lights out. And since they will not allow conjugal visits…

  5. based on the comments here, I’d say most of the folks here have more of a bias against his homosexuality than his release of the documents. Although I know none would ever admit that openly…But then, maybe there is a lot about themselves they are afraid to admit.

  6. YourCreepyUncle,
    Fags and other assorted perverts are recruited as spies specifically for their faggotry and perversions – which are indications of mental instabilities – and exploitable – by their handlers.
    So, treason and perversion go hand-in-hand (heh heh) or dick-in-ass, so to speak.

    Your self-righteousness is misplaced.
