WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will agree to be extradited to the United States to face possible espionage charges if President Obama grants clemency to military document leaker Chelsea Manning.

Manning, a transgender former U.S. solider, is serving a 35-year sentence for handing 700,000 sensitive military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.

'If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ (US Department of Justice) case,' WikiLeaks wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

Assange has been living in the Ecuadoran embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

Manning, who went by the name Bradley Manning before her transition, is reportedly on Obama's short list for a possible commutation of sentence.

She has already made two suicide attempts while incarcerated at the maximum-security US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth and went on a hunger strike last year in an attempt to get officials to allow her to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

Assange's ego has no bounds. He knows full well that Chelsea Manning will not be granted clemency as it sends the wrong message to the Armed Forces. There is a reason why Treason used to be a hanging offences and still in some countries.

Now that the Russians have made him their bitch the picture is not very good for him. He must have realised that a prison cell with amenities is much better than the flat in the embassy building.

Assange knows that he will get a pardon from Trump. Trump owes Assange big time.

President Obama has commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, the former army intelligence analyst who was convicted of leaking classified military documents to WikiLeaks.

The 29-year-old whistleblower, who was sentenced to 35-years in prison in August 2013, will now be released in four months, on 17 May of this year, instead of 2024.

Since her incarceration, the former army specialist who was known as Bradley Manning, attempted suicide twice last year and went on a hunger strike at the US Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

She continued her protest for less than a week until doctors allowed her to receive gender reassignment surgery. A military doctor has nonetheless refused to change her gender on her military records.

In the final days of his presidency, Mr Obama commuted a total of 209 sentences, pardoning 64 people at the same time. Over the course of his eight years in office, he has commuted the sentences of 1,385 people—the most issued by any president in US history. He’s also granted a total of 212 pardons.

“While the mercy the President has shown his 1,597 clemency recipients is remarkable, we must remember that clemency is an extraordinary remedy, granted only after the President has concluded that a particular individual has demonstrated a readiness to make use of his or her second chance,” White House Counsel Neil Eggleston wrote in a statement.

“Only Congress can achieve the broader reforms needed to ensure over the long run that our criminal justice system operates more fairly and effectively in the service of public safety.
Protesters urge Obama to commute Chelsea Manning's sentence

The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Manning, has pressured the current administration to commute her sentence for months. Her counsel has cited the dangers she faces as a transgender woman serving her sentence in an all-male detention center.

“I’m relieved and thankful that the president is doing the right thing and commuting Chelsea Manning’s sentence,” ACLU attorney Chase Strangio said in a statement.

“Since she was first taken into custody, Chelsea has been subjected to long stretches of solitary confinement—including for attempting suicide—and has been denied access to medically necessary health care. This move could quite literally save Chelsea’s life, and we are all better off knowing that Chelsea Manning will walk out of prison a free woman, dedicated to making the world a better place and fighting for justice for so many.”

Following the announcement, the Obama administration defended commuting Manning’s sentence by arguing that her case is fundamentally different than Edward Snowden’s, who fled to Russia after leaking documents that revealed the National Security Agency's spying program.

“Chelsea Manning is somebody who went through the military criminal justice process, was exposed to due process, was found guilty, was sentenced for her crimes, and she acknowledged wrongdoing,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told The New York Times.

“Mr Snowden fled into the arms of an adversary, and has sought refuge in a country that most recently made a concerted effort to undermine confidence in our democracy.”

The documents Manning provided to WikiLeaks revealed video footage of airstrikes from two US helicopters in 2007 that killed a dozen people in Baghdad, including two staffers with the Reuters news agency—22-year-old photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and his 40-year-old assistant Saeed Chmagh.

Military doctor denies request to change gender to female on records

Just last week, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange agreed to be extradited to the United States if President Obama commuted Manning’s sentence. “If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ case,” WikiLeaks said on Twitter.

Now, the website addressed the statement, claiming that Assange is “confident of winning any fair trial in the states” and if Obama’s Justice Department prevents the “public interest defense” and provides a “fair jury.”

In another tweet, the website thanked everyone who supported Manning: "Thank you to everyone who campaigned for Chelsea Manning's clemency," WikiLeaks wrote on Twitter. "Your courage & determination made the impossible possible."

Meanwhile, prominent Republicans have expressed outrage at Mr Obama's decision, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, Arizona Senator John McCain, and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton.

“This is just outrageous. Chelsea Manning’s treachery put American lives at risk and exposed some of our nation’s most sensitive secrets,” Mr Ryan said in a statement. “President Obama now leaves in place a dangerous precedent that those who compromise our national security won’t be held accountable for their crimes.”

Senator McCain argued that the commutation was a "grave mistake" that may "encourage further acts of espionage and undermine military discipline." Senator Cotton added that the Americans should treat Manning like a traitor instead of a martyr.

"When I was leading soldiers in Afghanistan, Private Manning was undermining us by leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks," he wrote in a statement. "I don't understand why the president would feel special compassion for someone who endangered the lives of our troops, diplomats, intelligence officers, and allies. We ought not treat a traitor like a martyr."
