I remember Obama saying that “Manning broke the law”

The whole world went into a tizzy claiming how he tainted the case and he caught hell about it for YEARS

Charles Manson almost got a mistrial because Richard Nixon called him guilty.

Manson was said to have told his lawyers, “Here’s a man who is accused of hundreds of thousands of murders, acousing me of being accused of eight murders.”

Although the jury in the Manson trial is kept sequestered in a hotel and denied access to newspaper accounts of the trials, attorneys expressed concern that they might learn of the President’s remarks through visits from relatives.

Immediately after Nixon made the remarks in Denver, Ronald V. Ziegler, Presidential press secretary, called reporters together to “clarify” the President’s statement.

Ziegler said that Nixon “failed to use the word ‘alleged’” in his statement. “The phrase he used could lead to some misinterpretation,” Ziegler added.
