Obama defies criticism over freeing Chelsea Manning | Daily Mail Online
'Justice has been served': Obama defies storm of criticism over freeing Chelsea Manning - and says it was nothing to do with Julian Assange's tweets
Obama said Wednesday that he commuted Chelsea Manning's sentence because the punishment did not fit the crime
At a news conference, the president said 35 years was too long, compared to other leakers
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had challenged Obama to grant Manning clemency in exchange for extradition to the United States
President said he doesn't read Assange's tweets and that had nothing to do with it; he didn't shed any light on the alleged charges
Manning has been compared to Edward Snowden, who is living in Russia and did not apply for a pardon
