To: Future Useless Eater; No_Doll_i
We know from the earliest Q posts that Q is "MI" Military Intelligence, so the 470th MI brigade makes the most sense. ALSO, it means military tribunals are MOST LIKELY

Whoa.

There's a nice one.

Maybe so, No Doll you. Maybe so.

Keep hanging around, Not So Useless Eater.

Who does a military tribunal have jurisdiction over (and yes, I ended the sentence with a preposition because I can!)

-————A military tribunal or commission is most usually used to refer to a court that asserts jurisdiction over persons who are members of an enemy army, are held in military custody, and are accused of a violation of the laws of war. In contrast, courts-martial generally take jurisdiction over only members of their own military. A military tribunal or commission may still use the rules and procedures of a court-martial, although that is not generally the case.

Military tribunals also, generally speaking, do not assert jurisdiction over people who are acknowledged to be civilians who are alleged to have broken civil or criminal laws. However, military tribunals are sometimes used to try individuals not affiliated with a particular state’s military who are nonetheless accused of being combatants and acting in violation of the laws of war.-———

Thanks Wiki.

So, while I agree that the 470th can be used as an investigative tool, these upcoming (hopefully) trial will have to be held in civilian courts. Drat, I like the finality of military justice so much better.
