Obama: Justice served on Manning commutation
By Max Greenwood - 01/18/17 02:50 PM EST

President Obama defended his decision to reduce the prison sentence for Chelsea Manning, saying that "justice was served" with Tuesday's commutation.

Obama said the former Army private had served a "disproportionate" prison sentence for leaking military secrets.

"It has been my view given that she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received and that she had served a significant amount of time, that it made sense to commute and not pardon her sentence," Obama said Wednesday during his last press conference as president.

Justice for who exactly?

Given Obama's 8 years of doing everything possible to destroy this country, yeah, it makes perfect sense that commuting the sentence of this creature, for committing Treason, would appeal to Obama as 'Justice'.

I agree the sentence was too long.

Sonofabitch should have been executed along time ago.
