I'm only generally aware of the charges against Manning, but I am also generally a fan of whistle-blowers and people who leak information that is only being kept secret for political reasons.

Every time a leaker shows how our government has lied and cheated, the government tries to bring charges. The current movie 'The Post' is an excellent example.

So you may well be right, but I hope voters look at a wide range of issues and at character. There are people currently in office who are a lot worse than either Manning or Cardin.

His hypocrisy is glaring. Who did HE "conspire against" in favor of an OLD STRAIGHT WHITE MALE? (If we're all counting Jews asactually "white")

You obviously do not live in Maryland. Stop blowing the shit out of your ass about Ben Cardin.

Republicans are NOT going to win that seat. Manning will never beat Cardin; we in Maryland LOVE him (the d'Allesandro guy up there notwithstanding.

I was more bothered by it giving his trashing of Hillary in service of Bernie Sanders, who is every bit as straight old white & make as Cardin (Older, I think)

I can even accept that she saw something wrong & just handled it improperly. All that means is STILL DEFINITELY NOT VOTING FOR HER, EVER.
