A Military Court is a federal court so the traitor may be in the clear
I would love to see Millie Vanilli and the Ukranian Vindman Brothers Flying Circus all court martialed for their efforts to bring down the elected president of the United States. Commie bass turds.
Biden is the Commander in Chief and superior to any court marshal
You can’t pardon people for crimes they haven’t been charged with.
As I’m thinking about it, a pardon doesn’t mean you can’t be prosecuted. It just means that whatever sentence you receive is removed. They could absolutely have a court-martial against him. And, I would think, they could imprison him while the trial is pending and during the trial.
And the trial could conceivably last a long, long time...

If I remember my Civics classes from decades ago, “treason” is the only crime listed in the Constitution that can not be pardoned.
Having said that, treason has a high standard to prove.
Except when one admits it.
I’m not sure, but I think I read that pardons can not be issued for treason or high crimes and misdemeanors?
Exactly what would you convict him for?
His job included making the military combat ready.
A reasonable man at the time could have thought Covid vaccination was proper. An enemy might be able to place Covid patients where wind would blow virus particles into the noses of our military personnel.
...and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
I forgot that! But they just might be able to pin that one on him.
With Milley’s pledges to tell China what Trump is up to, his security clearances, etc it would be very, very easy to get a military judge to accept that he needs to be imprisoned during the court-martial due to national security concerns.
And the same thing with Fauci et al - especially since it seems the war crime of “gain of function research” on the taxpayers’ dime is still going on, and the entire system seems set to do the whole thing all over again. Fauci is a national security (and world security) risk and must be imprisoned during his trial. Again, a pardon doesn’t remove the ability of government to prosecute crimes the person has committed.
....and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
No, treason can be pardoned. Only impeachment can’t be pardoned. See https://www.usconstitution.net/presidential-pardon-limits/

Refusal of a direct order by the president. He admitted he ignored his order to get the national guard to dc.
He personally and without any evidence removed Commander-in-Chief Trump from the chain of command on J6 and refused to restore order at the Capitol.
He swore to tell China what Trump was up to militarily.
Not sure that’s right. A military court operates under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Maybe some legal types on FR can opine on this...
