Bradley Manning leaked nearly three-quarters of a million sensitive, military and diplomatic documents, was convicted of 22 offenses, including aiding and abetting the enemy, but some technologically retarded idiot like Podesta and his Democrat "tech" team gives away his password after a spam russian email asks for it and other incompetence and the Democrats are outraged?

From liberal USA TODAY

Chelsea Manning commutation reeks of hypocrisy: James Robbins

"Manning compromised U.S. national security, placed the lives of members of the armed services and intelligence community and their assets at risk, and damaged the war effort against terrorism and violent extremism. By contrast, the DNC hack did not reveal classified information, no one’s life was threatened because of it, and it can’t be proved to have changed a single vote in the U.S. election.

Most of the revelations were Inside-the-Beltway political stuff of no interest to the average voter. For those of us who followed the DNC leaks closely, the daily anticipation of what might be revealed was more compelling than what ultimately turned up.

The message seems to be that actual espionage against the United States for causes Obama seems to favor is just fine, but embarrassing the president’s party and his handpicked successor is a high crime against democracy. "

Where is all the outrage from all the obama appointed and politicized members of the CIA and FBI and mainstream republicans like McCain,McConnell, Graham etc over the Manning commutation?

Because liberals are nothing if not extremely hypocritical. Manning off got mostly to appease the LGBT community. If Russia had helped Hillary, they would have been 100% supportive.

Why is pardoning Bradley Manning so bad and Russian hacking so good?

neither one is good, but manning leaked sensitive military information that compromised national security, as well as the lives of americans. the DNC hack, if it happened, only compromised DNC emails.

Because he was suppose to be on our team.
What's worse, a spy from a foreign country or a traitor from your own?
