Chelsea Manning Warns About Tump’s True Intentions With Assange
Facing the possibility of being imprisoned yet again in the coming days for refusing to testify before a secretive grand jury, U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning on Sunday warned of the grave threat the Trump administration poses to press freedoms.
“I think that ultimately what they really want is, they want to go after journalists,” Manning said during an interview on CNN when asked whether the Trump administration’s effort to extradite WikiLeaks founder and publisher Julian Assange to the U.S. is a danger to the free press.
“This administration clearly wants to go after journalists,” Manning said. “I think that if the administration gets its way… we’re probably gonna see indictments and charges.”
“Whenever a journalist makes a misstep,” she added, “I think that they’re put on notice now that the FBI and the Department of Justice are going to go after them, on the administration’s behalf.”

As Common Dreams reported, Manning was released from jail on Friday after being held for 62 days—including a month in solitary confinement—for refusing to testify before a grand jury.
On CNN, Manning said she plans to fight a second subpoena to testify that was issued before she was even released from jail. According to Manning’s legal team, she could be held in contempt of court and sent to jail again as early as Thursday, May 16.
“I think that all grand juries are improper,” Manning told CNN‘s Brian Stelter. “I don’t like the secrecy of it.”

The problem is imprisonment for a crime which has already happened in that Manning served 6 years and has already given full testimony(i.e. I have nothing to add to my statements on ..such and such a case) therefore is refusing on that basis to which we must also add that Manning does not have the right to give evidence or to a attorney in a Grand Jury so is being convicted for not submitting evidence against herself- since it is forcing her to prove innocence, when a prosecution is supposed to do this not the defendant. The 61 days in detention were just detention whilst the case was dropped. The target of a Grand Jury investigation has no right to testify or to a defense but saying that we are looking at double jeopardy.(United States V’s Manning) At which point we also have the problem that the United States is a corporation and Mannning and employee of that corporation who breached a contract – which explains Obamas pardon, it tends to come out that the law or wrong falls flat when it was written for a Country which existed pre 1871 so it is very hard to justify the firing squad for leaking how the corporation loots, lies and murders.
