Does anyone have the range of potential punishments for this traitor? Can he receive the death penalty?

He must have a judge that’s an Obama/Clinton appointee. I don’t know, just guessing.

Cheaper and stays on message to bribe a single judge instead of herding jury cats.

This has been dragged out for a long time.
Which reminds me, what is Nidal Hasan up to. You remember him, the former army psychiatrist who killed 13 people in 2009 in Texas. Last I heard he was going on yet another hunger strike, trying to drum up sympathy (for the Devil!).

Judges in UCMJ trials are officers of the defendant’s military branch, they’re not civilians.

At the 5-Sided Puzzle Palace, 200 young JAG officers are now scurrying about, trying to figure our how to reply to this motion.

Constructive Notice to all: DO NOT CALL. NOT MY AREA OF LAW!

JAGs, remember, whatever you recommend will, at some point, be held by some superior, to be totally wrong!

Take an A&R afternoon!

GFL!

He has a military judge, an officer on active duty. Obama didn't appoint him to anything.

“Judge shopping”

Yep. He knows he’s guilty as all heck. It’s a lot easier to buy one judge than a whole jury.

How eerily Scalia. Who knows what the radical left in the wings of all government is up to these days?

They must have bought off a judge and got the word to the traitorous scum.

Does that mean they can’t be bought?

probably easier to let one person call you a piece of sh!t than hear it from 12

Plus, logistically, it’s probably harder for one person to codemn you to eath- which should be carried out immediately
