On Tuesday night, Lt. Col. Scheller’s lawyer – Tony Buzbee – joined Tucker Carlson on his show to discuss the unprecedented political imprisonment and provide an update on the case.
Buzbee confirmed that the decorated Marine commander has been sitting in jail “indefinitely” since he was taken into custody and that he currently has no formal charges against him. There is “supposedly” an initial hearing set for this Thursday, but they have still not been notified about what his charges will be.
When somebody tried to speak out and say: look, we could have done a lot better. We owed these marines, and sailors, and army personnel better than that.” – They not only told them to shut up, but when he didn’t shut up they put him in jail.”
Thankfully, Lt. Col. Scheller – who is a husband and a father – is in high spirits and has been optimistic throughout the ordeal. According to Buzbee, the support they have received from the public has been “overwhelming;” one group has already raised over $200,000 to donate towards his legal expenses.
Before Buzbee provided his update, Tucker Carlson was able to read a statement from Lt. Col. Scheller’s father that was made earlier in the day. According to him, the military brass has no idea what they are going to do with their political prisoner.
I guess we’ll all see what they come up with during his initial hearing on Thursday.
“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud. He was asking for accountability. In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn’t do that, which is mind-blowing…They had a gag order on him and asked him not to speak. He did, and they incarcerated him.
They don’t know what to do with him.”
Here is the full clip from Tucker Carlson Tonight:
Much sympathy and admiration for this outspoken, truthful officer. He knowingly sacrificed his career when while in uniform and serving, he publicly criticized his incompetent but lawful superiors. He knew full well he would face discipline and probable discharge given the nature of military structure and tradition. He further knew he would face charges when he disobeyed a direct order not to speak publicly any further. Martyrs inspire and are admired but when becoming a martyr for a higher purpose, it involves personal and family sacrifice. Compare him to his lawful but incompetent fat, politically savvy, pole climbing superiors who to this very moment do not have the dignity or honor to accept accountability for their failures and malfeasance.
Tony Buzbee is a former Recon Marine officer.
Thank you, Tucker, for covering this story.
The Biden regime so far has been a continuous 9 Month Advertisement to NOT join the military.
This is huge.
What a joke this statement is!
There has not been a single instance of "pushback" against our communist masters in the past eight months...
The Aamerican sheeple have just one rule that they now follow:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
“It will not stand.”
Blah blah blah. Of course “it will stand”. It always stands - because nobody has the balls to fight back. Going all blustery Cowardly Lion with feigned courage is just embarrassing and those people need to stop.
