Manning Sentence Commuted

Show of hands, how many believe that if Mr. Manning wasn't "transitioning" he rot right where he is until his sentence was up.

Obama commutes Chelsea Manning sentence
President Barack Obama has commuted Chelsea Manning's sentence for leaking documents to Wikileaks in 2010.
The 29-year-old transgender US Army private, born Bradley Manning, will be freed on 17 May instead of her scheduled 2045 release.
She was sentenced to 35 years in 2013 for her role in leaking diplomatic cables to the anti-secrecy group.
The leak was one of the largest breaches of classified material in US history.~snip~
Jan. 20th can't come soon enough.
