Shorter Mike Pompeo: I'm sad abt Chelsea Manning bc I have HLS degree & I'll prove it by utterly misusing "treason" which is in Constitutionhttps://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/908510222062440448 …
But those "many believe" are flouting the law and the Constitution. We have trials in this country. If you don't like it. you're unAmerican.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is not voided by someone's emotional opinion. It is foundational to this country.

She is a convicted felon. Wasn't convicted for treason, true, but gave secrets to a Russian front. Understandable that people are upset.

MY GOD YOU'RE DUMBER THAN BLIND MOLES. Please don't reinvent history while you're shitting on the Constitution.

Who is "flouting the law"? People have the right to the opinion that Manning is a traitor.
-
Not if they believe in the Constitution. If they DO believe in the Constitution they wouldn't misuse it like you're doing.
-
2 basic things: 1) Constitution says innocent until proven guilty 2) Treason defined in Constitution Manning NOT GUILTY of aiding enemy
-
So for you to say different in spite of trial verdict is for you to shit on foundational principles of the Constitution.

You're a little too close to this emotionally. I'm not offering an opinion on Manning. But I understand why CIA would think her a traitor.
-
1) You're citing erroneous facts. That's not an emotional issue on my part, it's a fact issue on yours.
-
2) I will NEVER apologize for a CIA Director shitting on Constitution, like you're doing. That's profoundly dangerous.
-
In what way am I "shitting on the Constitution"?
