@emptywheel@chrislhayes@MarkAmesExiled - Manning pled guilty to several counts already, though. Enough for a 20 yr prison term. -
@Hesiod2k11@emptywheel@chrislhayes A lot of terrified accused suspects plead guilty to avoid worst charges. -
@MarkAmesExiled@emptywheel@chrislhayes --Usually you plead guilty in a plea bargain. 1st I've heard of someone pleading guilty for nothing -
@Hesiod2k11 it's still beside the point. Manning's assessment of what should be done is not authoritative.@chrislhayes -
@RancidTarzie@chrislhayes - Manning pleading guilty - with nothing in return - is certainly pretty authoritative on his guilt. -
@Hesiod2k11 no it isn't. It's one person's opinion, provided under legal counsel and duress.@chrislhayes -
@Hesiod2k11 how I wish for the day when dipshit liberals stop seeing LOL as a withering rejoinder.@chrislhayes - 2 more replies
