Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning was jailed on Friday after refusing to answer questions from a federal grand jury in Virginia looking into the release of documents to WikiLeaks.

U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton told Manning that she would remain in federal custody “until she purges or the end of the life of the grand jury” a statement from her representatives said.

Earlier in the day, Manning told reporters that she was prepared to go to jail following the closed contempt hearing for her resistance to provide testimony because she doesn’t believe in the grand jury process.

But the Grand Jury process believes in you; enjoy your self-inflicted wounds. The entire article with video may be viewed here: NBC News

IT…. IT doesn’t believe in the grand jury process.

Yup, I mean it is only required by the 5th amendment of the Constitution

But I guess believing in that is too much also

Still, a Little Bitch.

We see that IT is still attention whoring! Doesn’t IT realize that oblowme is no longer at 1600 PA Ave.

Will IT have the attention of Strap on Sally, Muff Dive Martha, or will Bubba, Thor, Julio, and Mr. Tiny have the honors?

Dumbazz.

IT should be put in solitary confinement for the duration. IT would enjoy the ministrations of Sally, Martha, Bubba, Thor, Julio and Mr. Tiny individually and collectively. No use making IT’s Graybar Hotel experience pleasurable at taxpayer expense.

good one, funny

Rather than referring to this weird ilk as “IT”, we should use the proper acronym. A combination of “She,” “He,” and “It” results in the acronym “SHIT.” However, as this acronym has already been registered as appropriate for “Sexual Harassment Intervention Training,” the new acronym must identify those whom are being addressed as “SHIT-BIRD” to avoid confusing these little SHITs with other military personnel who have attended Sexual Harassment Intervention Training.

It likes the DNA it’s getting.

It puts the lotion on its’ skin? 😀

Whistleblower? You have to be fucking kidding me. He was convicted of 19 crimes including espionage. Urinalists (the term for fake journalists that write piss) confirmed!

No, whistleblower reflects his current lifestyle, not what he was convicted of.

This is how I read the above:

Doesn’t believe in the grand jury process?

I’m sure he’d sing a different tune if something HE wanted required that process.

Sorry, clicked twice, please delete the extra.

“She” is a fucking he. A pathetic example thereof, but a he nonetheless. Stop calling him “her.”

And why don’t they remember that time he tried to beat a woman (who promptly kicked his pansy ass)? Isn’t violence against women supposed to be a big deal?

Tallywhagger

That boy needs a serious public whipping.

“Traitorous scum Bradley Manning was jailed on Friday…”

There, fixed it for them.

The little cocksucker ran for the Senate last year; here’s hoping he becomes a demonrat presidential candidate in 2020…

He wasn’t getting enough dick..now he’ll have plenty

I still say Chelsea is a jacked up name for a dude, no matter how light in the loafers he is…

The Other Whitey

I know a couple of chicks named Chelsea. Both are wonderful gals. I refuse to insult them by applying their name to this little fuckstick.

Fyrfighter

My theory is that anyone can change their name, legally, to anything they want. HE could have chosen the much more appropriate “Jackwagon” instead of Chelsea, but HE did change it to that, so I will call HIM that (with apologies to your friends). HE did change his name, HE CANNOT change his sex…

The Other Whitey

Indeed. Cutting off your junk makes you a eunuch, not a woman.

Mason

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The article does not mention that Manning was offered immunity with testimony. Also not mentioned is that the “confinement” will be at home.

The Other Whitey

He can escape any time he wants to…via gravity. If at first you don’t succeed, and all that.

David

If you take immunity, I read that you cannot take the 5th. I would guess that with immunity, logically you cannot self-incriminate.

Mason

Immunity agreements usually only cover that which you admit to. So if one tries to hide something and doesn’t disclose it and later testifies, the immunity agreement is out the window.

YourCreepyUncle

Confinement for refusing to speak. Lovely.

Grunt

Why are we blaming Chelsea for what Bradley did?

Haaaaa!!

Little fuckstick still thinks he’s some kind of hero. Boy doesn’t have the sense God gave sheep. Let him rot in jail. And fuck Obama for commuting his sentence.

Holdfast

If Obama had a son.
Manning should have never been let out of prison.
