Good news that Obama finally stepped up, and commuted Chelsea Manning's savage sentence for doing his moral duty - and also scheduled an early release for Oscar Rivera, after 35 years in jail. Still no indication he'll be doing the same for Leonard Peltier who's been in jail since 1975, but he could (and should).

I wonder if he'd have freed Chelsea if Hilary had been elected? Perhaps this could be one positive result of Trump's victory.

Yes, and I know commutations aren't the same as pardons, but commutations isn't a good word to fit in a thread title.
