I don't see how Manning and Assange had two different tiers of justice. Both have been fucked 6 ways from Sunday - I think Assange got it worse. I think he's broken now, and the US won't extradite him, they've done a good job at destroying him and will let him be, as a 1/2 of his former self.
Neither should have been prosecuted. PERHAPS Manning, minimally. She (He? Who gives a shit?) exposed criminality of our government. At worst a slap on the wrist, at best, a medal and prosecution of the criminals in our military that he/she exposed. I have no ill will toward Manning. Manning was a whistleblower. Manning exposed crimes, he (or she) didn't betray this nation, Manning only exposed crimes.
We have fucking war criminals in our military now. Of course, our government hasn't had a legitimate war since at least 1945, and even then, I'm not certain. The only war I think the US was involved in was entirely legitimate was 1775 to 1783.
Vivek has made the pledge to support Trump.
Who Else?

Count me in the former. I wished Trump had Crossed the River in Italy years ago.
