I kind of get that vibe. Also making him trans completely distracts from the actual issues of government misconduct he was bringing forward, so it's useful as a propaganda/distraction technique.

They were probably overjoyed at this guy turning in to a side-show, because then the real leaks and real info just gets lost in the noise of spectacle that results from him being trans.

i just hope he will be okay. trans have very high levels of suicide and usually they are not even being exposed to all the torture we see here. it would be very demoralising for any would be whistleblowers to see him end up dead in the end. tough cookie

Good point, and if they kill him now and make it look like suicide they can say "oh he was predisposed to it because he was trans" and everyone will accept it, and it will probably be turned in to a pro-trans mental health movement, in Manning's honor.

I can totally see that happening. That'd be almost as big of a slap to the face as The Federal Reserve putting Andrew Jackson's picture on the $20 bill.

A great way to erase and re-write history. Ugh this world makes me want to barf sometimes. I hope Manning lives to an old age.

i agree. both funny and sad. according to the video he cant be inprisoned for more than two years, but... thats still a long time

I honestly thought he was still in prison, I didn't realize he'd been released until I saw this.
