Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence

That's understandable, but Manning's sentence has been unusually cruel in its execution, and unjust when compared to other people who did without being punished at all.

See, e.g. the conduct that Colin Powell described in this email:

Is there a list of emails that contain actual unfavorable/damning information?

Yes, although IMHO it's not a very good one. Some of these should be taken with salt -

I should also mention that it's fairly incomplete. E.G. no mention of this one that Wikileaks tweeted earlier regarding Taiwan -

For example, #6 claims that 'Hillary's campaign' wants an 'unaware and compliant citizenry,' on the basis of an unsolicited email to Podesta using that phrase to describe Trump's campaign strategy!

Assuming you're talking about this email -

It's oversold, yes, but as far as I can tell, it's this Bill Ivey (NEA chairman under Clinton, Obama transition team member) and not some random spammer -

Are you saying that Colin Powell should have been imprisoned for using a PDA against the wishes of the NSA/CIA?

I'm saying that all people should get equal justice under law.
