Bright lip stick and a open v-line collar that shows a little topography and lots of skin. You can be the first to climb that mountain. Remember the crying game?

ABC and any other MSM outlet that glorifies this criminal as a whistleblower need to have their access to drugs or any other mind altering item revoked, or need to be brought up on criminal charges them selves.
Number One - This criminal was not convicted nor tried by a military tribunal, but by a General Court Martial. Though this was a criminal case, the military does have the option to have what is generally termed a 'bench trial', i.e. no jury. PFC Manning chose a judge only trial. (NOT an enemy combatant.)
Number Two - Ten of the thirty-four counts originally charged are considered strictly military in nature (1 count of aiding the enemy and 9 counts of disobeying an order). The other 24 counts were various violations of three separate federal statutes, i.e. criminal charges no matter how you spin-doctor it. (NOT a whistle-blower.)
Number Three - Final count of court martial charges was for 21 or 22 counts of which PFC Manning plead 'Guilty' to 10 of them. When it was all said and done, PFC Manning was found or had plead guilty of 19 of the counts charged which included at least one charge of THEFT (criminal act) and six charges of ESPIONAGE (criminal act).
Number Four - Maximum sentence of convicted charges is equal to 90 years, with an actual sentence of 35 years, and a served sentence of 7 years.

Unfortunately, this criminal will be able to benefit and profit from their criminal acts, with the aid and approval of others cut from the same cloth. Sadly and unfortunately we have others currently serving and some that have served our nation in positions of trust that agree with the hypocrisy of the MSM and a number of members and leaders of the Democratic Party.

Wasn't there a law on the books preventing criminals from profiting from their crimes? Something is tickling my memory from 20-30 years ago... The idea was that someone should not be tried and convicted for something, and then get out of prison to a lucrative book or movie contract telling about the crime that got them into prison in the first place.

SSgt Christopher Brose - Notice the language used by the ABC writer - military tribunal and whistle-blower - with the use of those words it makes these criminals appear to be or have been political prisoners instead of the criminals that they are. It also sets it up so that the profit is filtered through a third party and therefor could not be directly tied to the criminal, yet they can still profit from it.
