On Tuesday, the Obama administration commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning. Manning was serving 35 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act.

But now Manning’s sentence will end in May.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said of the decision:

“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.”

Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is one of many veterans who isn’t happy with the news. In an interview Wednesday with “Fox and Friends,” Cotton said:

“It’s very disappointing and it’s very dangerous as well, Brian. Chelsea Manning committed grave crimes against our national security, leaking reports from the field, of people that have cooperated with American troops, and diplomats, and intelligence officers. We know that Osama Bin Laden himself was interested in some of the reports that were leaked. Looking ahead this isn’t something that is just bad from a historical standpoint, but we depend on the cooperation of people all around the world. Sometimes that cooperation has to occur in secret.”

Then, Cotton took a shot at Obama:

“Maybe Barack Obama’s official position on WikiLeaks is bad when it embarrasses Democrats, and good when it undermines national security.”

Cotton finished by pointing out why releasing Chelsea Manning will be “very harmful” for the military and intelligence community.
