(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement regarding the commutation of Private Manning’s sentence:

“While brave soldiers were fighting overseas to protect our country, Private Manning was undermining their work and putting their lives at risk by exposing our most sensitive information,”said Bucshon. “President Obama’s commutation of Private Manning’s sentence is outrageous and a slap in the face to our military and intelligence communities. It also emboldens similar dangerous actions by bad actors in the future.”
