Okay, Disestablishmentarian, remember the very large (unexplained) expansion of GITMO, along with the super secret area no reporters are allowed to access? I do & I’ve seen the contract.
Did you also see the contract that was let to build six SCIF courtrooms? Yep, it exists and I’ve seen that too.
Have you read the modifications to the Manual for Courts Martial, specifically the parts about civilian participation, but also the relaxed rules of evidence? If not, find them & read them. I have, and they’re very illuminating.
A foreign national “Manchurian Candidate” inserted by foreigners to destroy the United States from within (if such a person existed) WOULD NOT be tried EXCEPT in a military tribunal.
If I may, I think you set your bar too low, as in “well he might be guilty, but the American people wouldn’t go for it.” Please speak for yourself! I’m an American and I’m all in for hanging them once their treason can be proven.
Have some confidence and wait until all 60% of what will be made public happens. People will be clamoring for their treasonous hides and be demanding they face the gallows.
You said this so beautifully!
Hip Hip Hooray ....someone is following the breadcrumbs!!!

You make very interesting points, but all of them assume that a military justice system will be invoked in a way which I don't believe has ever occurred in the United States.
It may be that this attempted coup d'etat results in just such an outcome; but, in my opinion, in order for this to occur, there has to be an ABSOLUTE SMOKING GUN of a conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States -- and NOT JUST BY DIRTY POLITICS.
Of course I do not speak for you or anybody else.
I will say, your approach DOES OVERCOME one of my serious objections--that a jury system which couldn't convict O.J. is incapable of convicting Obama.
I got no problem with DOJ executioners stretching all traitors with ropes (male or female.)
