Former Army intelligence analyst and whistleblower Chelsea Manning warned Sunday that the Trump administration “clearly wants to go after journalists,” and predicted that the Justice Department would prosecute reporters covering national security and other “disruptive” topics.
“I think that ultimately what they really want is they want to go after journalists,” she told host Brian Stelter on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.”Manning was released from behind bars last week. In March, a federal judge found her in contempt andfor refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks. Manning was freed because the grand jury’s term expired.
Then serving in the Army under her birth name of Bradley Manning, she rose to prominence in 2010 after passing along hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and military reports to the website known for its dumps of classified documents. She was convicted by court-martial in 2013, but former President Barack Obama commuted her 35-year sentence in 2017.
“This administration clearly wants to go after journalists,” Manning said Sunday. “I think that if the administration gets its way as its laid out in repeated statements — like, ‘the media is the enemy of the people,’ kind of thing — you know, then I think that we're going to see the national security journalists and a lot of disruptive, for this administration, press — we're probably going to see indictments and charges.
Great source.
'Journalist' have been targeting Trump since day one . You should be stopped immediately !
The poor guy just wants attention.
So he aims to do what Obama did. First for everything I guess.
A leftist parroting leftist talking points. Big shock there.
She’s not an authority on anything.
says a man who thinks he's a woman....
Says the traitor to his/her country........ God Bless all Americans, and you too Chelsea.
If it’s so clear that Trump is supposedly going after journalists, why aren’t there any examples or evidence provided?
Why did a whistleblower need to be pardoned by Obama? It’s not a trick question.
good
Unbiased journalists... Unbiased whistleblowers... Anonymous... Leak leak leak...wiki... Unredacted Mueller report / tax returns from 1995 Then, I can consider you all unbiased and truly want to foster transparency and hold public officials accountable.
Manning is a hero. Anyone against her is an establishment tool, plain and simple.
.... BECAUSE JOURNALISTS... REVEAL HIS WRONG DOINGS !!!!
Yes, it does. But (a) the pursuit of Julian Assange started under Obama and has nothing to with Trump’s authoritarian vendetta against journalists, especially since (b) Wikileaks helped Trump get elected. Also, (c) Julian Assange is not a journalist.
Was that gal a dude a few years ago? This is who you look towards for logical thoughts?...
Look at that sick thing Bama pardoned. Sick
Maybe because they keep spreading fake news
SHE IS AN AMERICAN HERO. (Queue the other half of America who would rather be bigots than care about exposing war crimes.)
Soy boy has thoughts.....not long ago she was out on a ledge getting suicide attention. Why would anyone listen? These are all just pawns in a narrative. Sick
This guy is a media whore. The MSM loves to propagate anything anyone will say that’s negative about Trump.
Obama already beat him to it!
They damned well should be AND at the point someone crying about that was leaking government information walks out of jail singing the blues we should NOT give them relevance, instead we give them a cookie for illegal actions. BS

Trump 'very surprised' Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr.The Senate Intelligence Committee issued the subpoena on Wednesday; it was not immediately clear why he was being subpoenaed. TrumpCrimeSyndicate *The family that stays together preys together* Why is he surprised!? His son is just as much a criminal as he is! They should be used to subpoenas by now! Wait til he gets defeated next year, he can look forward to dozens more!! Harrassment, plain and simple. When will Democrats do their job? This was purely partisan minus 1 antiTrumper rep.
