to this man anything
you know i hadn't heard this clip before and i wasn't in dealing with probing for
a ring of fire of
yesterday i think he brought it up
the idea
that a sitting president
would talk about the guilt or innocence
of any individual
or not
is stunning and the media would never
never
allowed a president to do this
thirty years ago
it's almost unconscionable
and yet brocco bomber yesterday
not yesterday
i guess this was
last week
the video has since come out i guess it yesterday before
but he was
at a fundraiser in san francisco
obama
and
some guidelines in price
i don't know is
uh... mp
supporter of manning supposedly
got close enough to present the status in an end
raise the issue
hope all my distillers credit engaged him
now the audio is rough folks will post the youtube on our site
the audios rough but
you gotta listen carefully what obama's talking about
one point he says the guy is guilty
man who is not then who has been held in prison for over a year
and has not been tried
auspices aside from the fact that he's been tortured
at least according to
psychiatrists
may distribute could sleep in a proactive ag
kept in a room for twenty three hours a day now allowed to exercise
now a lot to talk
now allowed to read
and well let's hear this audio from omaha
a
the
bucket the things they hear their and you hear obama clearly say he broke the
law
he also then says uh... you dresses no he didn't do the same thing that i was
berg eight it wasn't the same
tripe of uh... bob secret information
which is actually not true committed very similar to what i was very good
noting that the
this saved ellsberg
was that uh... a microbe al basically read all the pentagon papers on the
floor the senate
and then back
made it
but let me out
he put it into the senate record
made a public knowledge
and um... basically short-circuited
the prosecution of albert although the he was
persecuted many ways but here you have obama talk about luck
use part of the military
he has certain things i i have certain restrictions i what i can do and then he
says quite clearly i you broke the law
and if you want to go back you can watch the youtube of y the time of your t dot
f m
you can see here a little bit clearer
targeted a fundraiser that a lot of us down there but
this is a stunning thing for a president
to save for a guy who's not been convicted yet
and
it gives you also as sense and
how he's been advised about men
and a very well may be that many did break the law
when he has in the convicted yet
and it's almost as if obama's been told by
his advisors military parade where ever it is the *** but they broke the law and
then just said okay
whatever
and what's really shocking to me about this is he's
he's a constitutional lawyer
it's stunning
and jim is a rules hausky
the chief pentagon correspondent bc news
did a piece on this and spent the whole time i mean if it's a good piece
he writes the uniform code of military justice prohibits command influence in
which a superior officer of the chain of command
says or does something that could influence any decisions by military
judge your criminal jury in a criminal case
brock obama's the commander in chief
so he is at the top of this command influence
a military legal expert says the president himself crossed a legal line
with that statement
eugene fidel president nationalists in military justice
told n_b_c_ news at the present remark is unlawful command influence influence
which includes an assumption of guilt
president should know setting should've been more circumspect
the white house spokesman tommy fighter claim the present was speaking only
generally about the unlawful release
of classified material
which is a joke he said he broke the law
writer insisted obama quote was not expressing a view as to the guilt or
innocence of p_f_ cementing specifically
in other words he was using the
more general
he
that doesn't exist in grammar
but in the end fidel uh... the president national state of military justice
predicts the issue should not adversely affect the prosecution's case against
manning while defense lawyer could claim the present statement
unlawfully prejudices the case against your client potential jurors could be
screened to ensure their not aware of the remark
first of all there shouldn't be a single person in the country is not aware that
remark
it should be on the the media twenty four seven
but what's more relevant aside from the fact that he may have painted a jury
which he clearly has
you think there's nobody the military's gonna find out about that
concert
aside from that
people should be questioning him as to where he got this information that he
broke the law
how do you know he broke the law
no one can know that he broke the law
it's impossible
because he doesn't think convicted of anything
it's stunning
it really is stunning
and i i'm going to
i'm going to assure you of something
this will be the last you give the
