A Federal District Court judge overseeing the matter, Anthony J. Trenga, said that he also dismissed on Thursday the grand jury that Ms. Manning was refusing to testify before after finding that its business had concluded.
"The court finds that Ms. Manning's appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose," Judge Trenga wrote.
STILL WAITING FOR CLARIFICATION! It IS NOT CLEAR whether she's been released because the Grand Jury has finished it's term, just to be re-incarcerated when a new Grand Jury is convened, or whether she's been completely relieved of the court-demanded "responsibility" to reiterate her court martial testimony. The latter is SERIOUSLY UNLIKELY until Julian Assange is exonerated. After all, they released her after the last grand jury was termed out, and then immediately put her back in a cell again because Double Jeopardy doesn't apply. She not being charged with anything, She's being held to coerce her to comply with a court order that she testify about whether she gave Assange her wikileaks password. She claims she already answered that during her court martial and the government's demand she re-state her testimony is an attempt to entrap her if her testimony varies by even a word, which IS how the feds manage to imprison people they can't otherwise convict. By claiming you lied or perjured if your testimony varies. It's criminal, and it's common, and even if you look at the people around presidents who end up convicted in federal courts it's rarely for the original charges and typically for that bit of entrapment. They ask you the same questions over and over. Show up at 12 midnight for another interview, and literally harass you until you crack and attack them so they can blow you away , or find some discrepancy and jail you for lying. About that 'blowing away' thing. See this tag at my tumblr about what they did to an acquaintance of the Boston Marathon Bomber. https://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/tagged/todashev Rr
