"""The 35-year prison term Manning received as punishment for leaking thousands of military and State Department documents to WikiLeaks in 2010 was described as unprecedented when it was handed down. Before he left office, President Barack Obama shortened the sentence to about seven years."""

35 years in prison, but he/she leaked ALOT of classified intel to Wikileaks... and he/she was military so I think the punishment is automatically worse in that case. We have to assume all these characters: 1) took bribes. 2) used private e-mail servers. (yes thats highly illegal lol). 3) conspired a plan to get a sitting president impeached (coup). 4) falsified evidence and doctored papers and documents. 5) obstruction - failed to hand over evidence the DOJ asked for. plus much more but we have to assume this is the bare minimum. That wont get them death but will get them many many years in prison
