So the law doesn't matter? His legally erroneous opinion matters, beyond signaling that he has no respect for the law?

Legally Manning was convicted. I don't understand how anyone can expect Pompeo to be happy about the Harvard situation.

1) She was not convinced of treason. Found NOT GUILTY of aiding enemy. 2) She served 7 years. 3) Maybe Pompeo should worry abt torture?

If you want to go after Pompeo for torture that's a separate issue. But Chelsea is a felon and, many believe, a traitor.

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.
