Never, ever believe anything from Gateway Pundit. Just like this story they never tell you the facts, only their biased propaganda.
Can you tell at all what this guy is even accused of doing? He was convicted of PREMEDITATED murder. By definition that means he planned to kill someone sometime before he actually did it. To read the dirtbag liar Jim Hoft the victim was killed in a combat situation. This phony reporting should immediately put any person with a brain on alert that hoft is keeping from us some important facts. And you can put money those facts don’t fit the Hoft narratives.
So,now I will google this guy and find out what the actual facts are.

This seems like a pretty liberal site and they play up the African American jailed unjustly angle but the enemy combatant seemed like a real enemy combatant from my reading. Even with between the lines reading of the facts where they may have been aggressively interrogating this guy to prevent another attack, charging him with premeditated murder seems completely unreasonable to me.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You seem to have some problems with this story and I can't quite figure out why.
You don't need to go to google, just here:
Congressman Gohmert on Sergeant Derrick Miller Being Granted Parole
Washington, March 21, 2019
Yesterday, Sergeant Derrick Miller was granted parole and will be released from Fort Leavenworth on May 20, 2019 after having served eight years in military prison. Sgt. Miller was serving a Life Sentence at Fort Leavenworth for murder though he acted in self-defense when an Afghan insurgent attempted to take his gun.
Renee Miller, Sgt. Derrick Miller’s mother, appeared at both of her son’s hearings and sent out a statement yesterday which included the following: “I especially want to thank Congressman Louie Gohmert for his valiant effort to fight for this American Son. One meeting with Congressman Gohmert is all it took for this good and caring Congressman from Texas to engage on Derrick's behalf. Congressman Gohmert went that extra mile, he attended two of Derrick's hearings and he fought for his release! I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you live in Texas, you are lucky to have such a devoted and caring Congressman who fights for our brave Sons who fight for us.”
Congressman Gohmert responded, “It has been my honor to advocate for Sergeant Derrick Miller, who appeared to have the deck stacked against him during the Obama administration while Sgt. Miller worked passionately to defend his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan. After first backing Sgt. Miller’s story, an Afghan interpreter was coaxed into changing his story to testify at trial against Sgt. Miller with promises of U.S. citizenship for himself and his family. Since prior efforts to get U.S. visas had been denied, he was more than willing to have a U.S. soldier convicted if it meant safety and legalization for them in the U.S. It was evident that same deck was stacked against Sgt. Miller when witnesses he needed in Afghanistan were not allowed to come testify at his trial in the U.S.”
“Certainly Sgt. Miller was not guilty of pre-meditated murder as he was originally convicted, which is why I testified at a hearing to modify the conviction so he could become eligible for parole. Then when the Board agreed to modify his conviction, he became eligible for parole. It was my honor to testify once again for him at the parole hearing. The faith in God of Derrick and his mother never wavered during the nine-year ordeal. They are very special people. Derrick’s actions actually saved American military lives for which not only got no credit; he was sent to prison. But this good news has brought joy for Derrick and those of us who were trying to help him,” Congressman Gohmert said.
