That new 3/1
EO on court martials and military tribunals is SERIOUS stuff. Remember Sessions + RR + Solicitor General bringing the press along to their lunch the other day? Along with Mattis, those are people who needed to sign off on this.
The
EO is substantial enough ... but the
ANNEX IS 636 PAGES !!!!!
There are themes - one is that it seems white hats have reviewed every single court martial & GITMO hijinx have been identified and loopholes closed i.e. seems that cases won't be deterred because the Court reporter handles something. Also seems those running things get access to a ton of stuff
in camera and there are provisions for folks like Julian Assange to appear without exposure. I think there are provisions to try people for crimes they committed in the past and thought they'd gotten away with because of & due to the corruption they were involved with. This is the kind of thing only a savvy JAG would appreciate ... or Andy McCarthy (when it's safe to go to NR lol).
