this conspiracy theory that they've never been able to prove that julian assad and recruited chelsea manning to work for wiki leaks and she was inside the pentagon systems acting as some kind of spy and truly wasn't a military whistleblower and in effect the reason why we saw this superseding indictment where they're now criminalizing not just julian assigns but it's an escalation because they name weekly leaks staff in the indictment and they're suggesting that they're going to go after criminalize those people as well i believe why they did this is because back in march they had to dismiss the grand jury that was impaneled by president barack obama to destroy wiki leaks and then it lay dormant no it was awoken this beast was awoken by a jet beauregard sessions when he was the attorney general and then put to work by the trumpet ministration and they added this indictment because they were unable to get chelsea manning to testify and they were unable to get jeremy hannant another person involved in an activity that adventure led to if you exposing the strap for files as so because they need

i thought chelsea manning was rightly prosecuted. >> people work for government contracts are not evenorking for the government. >> in this age of computers and the internet and so forth, we allow fast amounts of information to be accessible to individuals. some people at very, very low levels of government were not being watched properly or not being supervised properly or not being trained properly or have not been checked out properly. some of the times when you see these things happen, these are individuals that maybe if people pay more attention they could have prevented these people from having access to lots and lots of potentially dangerous information. >> are you talking about manning? a private of the army, with that sort of access? i agree. >> we have three minutes left. >> one more thing to get on the record is the solicitor general at the time. in 1989 he published an op-ed called secrets not worth keeping, where he said he was on the wrong side of history. we have time for one more call. john from texas. welcome. >> thank you for taking my question. with regard to the sta

barack obama, commuted the sentence of chelsea manning, who conspired with wikileaks and yeetd loved it. but trump commuted sentence of rodger stone who did not conspire with wikileaks and media hated it. see what was going on here there was never any evidence of collusion because there was never any collusion nobody has been ever charged with collusion or conspiracy with the russians. and it was charged in order to cover up a corrupt investigation. trump campaign was framed by the democrats, the cia and crooked fbi a littles we know and love. they planted doctors evidence and spy and illegally leaked and got caught. what happened was this, roger stone refused to get framed. so they tried to put him in jail. stone refused to make up dirt about trump so they charge him with crime. how sick is that? if police plan a gun on you and then you throw it in the riff you shouldn't be charged with obstruction. that's basically what mueller boys did here. just acid wash his hard drive like hillary. apparently that's totally fine. if you tell your buddy not to corporate with crooked cops because
