"New Details From LTC Lakin's Court-Martial The Media Will Not Report; Concern About Obama's Eligibility Throughout the Chain-of-Command
This snippet posted below was published by Col. Sullivan from the CAAFlog blog(anti-Lakin). I'm very surprised Col. Sullivan was able to keep his ridicule of LTC Lakin down to a minimal in his latest writings on LTC Lakin's court-martial. What this blog shows is that there are real concerns about Obama's constitutional eligibility to be CiC all the way up the chain-of-command. I can't wait until the official trial transcripts are released.
Snippet via CAAFlog; LTC Lakin continued that he became the chief of primary care at the Pentagon’s clinic in July 2009. Mr. Puckett then observed that the purpose of the hearing was for the members to determine an appropriate sentence. He then discussed the origins of LTC Lakin’s offenses."He testified that he started to have concerns about the Constitution during the primary elections, when he was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. He learned that there was controversy as to the natural-born-citizen status of both major political parties’ general election candidates. He said Senator McCain provided everything he could to address his status, including a birth certificate with the doctor’s name and hospital’s name. He compared that with the lack of scrutiny that Senator Obama received. He had questions about the image of a certificate of live birth on the Internet and relatives stating they were present at his birth in Kenya. He said he had an open mind, but he was skeptical. One candidate went through scrutiny, but there was a lack of information as to the other.
Mr. Puckett pressed, “Why were you so interested in this?” I think he expected the answer to be because of the oath of office, but LTC Lakin instead gave an answer about reading newspapers. LTC Lakin testified that after the election, he became “extremely concerned.” He said the issue wasn’t about politics or anything else (probably an implicit denial of racism) but the Supreme Law of the Land. He stated that he “wanted a valid Commander-in-Chief.” He testified that after the election, he was no longer comfortable with being selected for deployment. He was “concerned that the Constitution wasn’t being followed.” He believes his “oath as an officer is to protect and defend the Constitution.” He believed questions about the President’s eligibility “may weaken the Constitution.” He said he doesn’t know if the President is ineligible and he doesn’t believe that anyone can know.
Neal Puckett asked, “What did you do as a soldier.” LTC Lakin said his “sought out advice” from his command and from his friends. He contacted legal assistance at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, who said they would research the issue and get back to him, but then they would never return his calls. He talked to his commander and supervisor who said there was an issue and there were questions, but they did not know what to do to answer them. He then filed an Article 138 complaint. He was asking, “Please, someone in my command, tell me there’s not an issue about illegal orders.” He submitted the Article 138 complaint to his company commander and asked him to forward it. The reply he received back was that his Article 138 complaint was deficient, so the Army didn’t have to answer it.
LTC Lakin then wrote letters to his two Senators and Congressman. One Senator didn’t reply. One said the issue had been raised “and Twittered about and been found not to be an issue.” His Congressman forwarded his letter to Military Affairs.
He continued to “pursue what else I could do.” When he was transferred to the Pentagon, he raised the issue with his clinic’s commander. He “acknowledged concern” but had no guidance as to what to do. LTC Lakin then submitted another Article 138 complaint, this one routed through General Casey. (BTW, it would later come out that he was referred to Paul Rolf Jensen while he was at Aberdeen Providing Ground, so it seems likely that he was working with Mr. Jensen at the time he filed this Article 138 complaint.) The response he received back was that General Casey wasn’t in his chain of command, so his Article 138 complaint wouldn’t be addressed.
LTC Lakin then became aware he was “on the short-list for deployment. This greatly concerned me.” He went to Capitol Hill for face-to-face meetings with one Congressman and high-level staffers. He was told that the issue was a concern, but the media ridiculed it, so they let it go.
He was advised to go to Afghanistan and then raise the issue while he was on deployment. He considered this a “worse” option. He said it would be “extremely wrong to raise this in a combat zone.”
Mr. Puckett asked, “You thought if the Commander-in-Chief wasn’t eligible, you thought your deployment order might retroactively be considered an illegal order.” LTC Lakin agreed.
Mr. Puckett asked when LTC Lakin first sought the advice of an attorney. He answered that it was two-and-a-half years ago. He was the leader of an intermediate level school small group. There were JAGs in the group. He discussed his concerns with the JAGs and asked what he should do. One of the JAGs referred him to Paul Jensen and LTC Lakin called him. He said he “ultimately hired” Mr. Jensen.
He then testified about receiving his deployment orders. At the bottom of the orders, it said he had to bring a copy of his birth certificate. He said, “I thought, there’s an issue here.” That was followed first by laughter from the birthers in the audience, and then by applause, bring another sharp, “Members of the gallery!” from Judge Lind.
He said that in March 2010, he turned to Mr. Jensen for legal advice. When asked about Mr. Jensen’s advice, LTC Lakin replied, “There’s a Kenyan birth certificate.” He said that on Mr. Jensen’s advice, he decided not to deploy. Mr. Puckett then asked, “Who made the decision to say to your command, ‘I’ll deploy if the President shows he’s eligible?’” LTC Lakin said he did. Mr. Puckett asked, “Whose fault was it?” LTC Lakin replied, “Mine.” Mr. Puckett asked, “Whose responsibility was it?” LTC Lakin answered, “Mine.” Mr. Puckett elicited LTC Lakin’s response that he didn’t think his orders were illegal, but he “still thought there was a constitutional issue.”
He agreed with Mr. Puckett that he used his deployment orders as a vehicle to increase the level of attention that the issue would receive. He confirmed that there were “lots of people urging you to stick to your guns.” In a reply likely to hurt him with the members, he answered: “Yes, including enlisted members and officer members.”

Damn it!! There are questions IN the military! The country DESERVES To know the truth about Barry and whether or not he's Constitutionally qualified. Enough already with the obfuscation! This isn't a freakin game.
That's what happened to us, while the other, a lame Republican, sent us a letter "authored" by Jack Maskall, hello!!!
“Don’t give up. It is us, the people the military defend, who inspire the military to their sacrifices in the first place.”
But NOT the ex. or the (FINOs) here, while thinking about Waco, and Samson, hmmmm???

The CONSTITUTION means NOTHING to the sanity squatters, they use that paper in their bathroom for their sorry asses!!!
Very believable and probably similar scenario at the meeting with eight judges at SCOTUS on January 14, 2009!!!
Write to her? As if she will care.
This has become very simple.
TheZero, the illegal CIC, has just used the legal system to hide his lies.
A Kangaroo court answers NOTHING.
In fact, a kangaroo court PROVES THAT ZERO IS ILLEGAL.
No other explanation is required.
“I hate to admit it, but I’ve given up. We’re well on the road to tyranny and I no longer see any way out of it. We’re toast when our own military won’t defend us any longer.”
One has to really wonder, what’s going on???

if obama was born in Hawaii in 1961 , he was still born with duel citizenship because of his father. This disqualifies him from being President under Article 2. Natural Born citizenship : both parents must be U.S. citizens. THIS IS THE REASON ALL THE LAWSUITS WANT A CERTIFIED COPY OF HIS BIRTH RECORDS! THEY WOULD PROVE OBAMA IS NOT THE LEGAL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS ALSO THE REASON OBAMA WILL NEVER RELEASE A COPY OF HIS BIRTH RECORDS.
Nobody's buying that crap.
False. Money has been spent filing responses to lawsuits initiated by others. No lawsuits were initiated to block release of records.
That's not even rational. He acknowledges his father. He acknowledges his dual citizenship at birth. The birth certificate he already released contains his father's name. So it's all an attempt to avoid admitting who his father was? Huh?
Already on the next post after yours, you’re seeing some in the military are “playing” with our Constitution, or more correctly; those “Fifth Column” and hopefully(?) only a small fraction, are pissing on that document!!!
Then he refused to obey the lawful orders of three of his superior officers and refused to report to duty in Kentucky as ordered. And the rest is history.
WHAT birth certificate, hello you in the "blindness"???
Total fabrication on YOUR part!!!
McCaskill took the lead on the Judiciary Committee to vet McCain and get resolution passed to approve him even though there was a question about his eligibility (otherwise why a resolution?). She wanted to be VP under Obama. The Repubs owed her, so they ignored the Constitution also and gave Obama a pass. Since the tide seems to have turned against Obama, she will be one of the first to be investigated. She is up for re-election. A timely reminder about that plus prison time, may encourage her to speak the truth before she gets thrown under the bus. It is worth a chance to make her think. Don’t give up. The thing that gets Obama out soon may be something we never expected.
I’am not selling “crap” I’am just repeating that has been upheld by congress and the Supreme court for over 200 years.
obama could stand in front the the White House and admit that he was a Kenyan national , BUT it still would require proof ( that little issue of a birth certificate) before Congress would vote to void his election. Under our legal system admission of guilt is not sufficient to convict someone of a crime, you must still prove that they did it.
