<p>&#8222;The Espionage Act was meant to punish spies and saboteurs&#8230;.It was never<br />
meant for whistleblowers,&#8220; attorney Nancy Hollander said Sunday night in a<br />
Skype call to a gathering of Manning supporters in Washington. &#8222;This is a<br />
draconian act…It must be stopped if we’re to have any freedom of speech—if the<br />
First Amendment is to exist at all.&#8220;</p>
<p>Chelsea Manning’s New Lawyers Will Challenge ‘Frightening’ Espionage Act<br />
Charges on Appeal<br />
“Chelsea has the right to have a lawyer stand between her and the awesome<br />
power of her own government and that government is projecting everything it<br />
has against her,” she concluded. “Vincent and I will stand between the<br />
government and Chelsea. And they’ll have to get past us to get to her. That’s<br />
the stand we’ll take.”<br />
