President Obama has commuted the majority of the remaining prison
sentence of Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning, who was sentenced to
35 years in military prison in 2013 for leaking hundreds of thousands
of documents to Wikileaks. Manning will be released on May 17 from
Fort Leavenworth Military Prison, where she would otherwise have been
detained until 2045.

Pardon Snowden, Drop Assange, etc et al.

   For a minute I had this worry...

   d

     A: Only the president of the United States can grant a commutation
     to a person convicted in a federal court. Congress and the federal
     courts do not have or share this power, cannot overturn or reverse a
     commutation, and cannot create rules limiting the president's use of
     the power.
