Spencer, a former Marine who went on to a successful career as a Wall Street banker, was appointed by Trump to be Navy secretary in 2017.

Trump was planning to offer a pretrial pardon to Gallagher, according to the Post.

But Spencer talked him out of it.

“Trump’s intervention into the Navy’s affairs has angered senior military officers and civilian officials in the Pentagon, according to the Post.....

The Navy wants to convene expulsion panels for Gallagher and three SEAL officers who were his supervisors.....

If the president gives a formal order to Spencer canceling the panels, the Navy secretary will either carry out the order reluctantly or resign, according to the Post....

It started with Bush I.

Seems the military has a swamp of their own. Maybe Soros has stooges there too.

Trump should have immediately sent written orders to the SECNAV and Adm. Green, after that crap.

After giving them direct orders, he should have stated that if they disagreed then he would expect their letters of resignation on his desk no later than 0900 Monday, 11/25/19.
