I can’t help but believe the persecution (Sullivan) is just doing this to harass LtCol Chessani, it’s not right!
The military gets its funding from the Congress. As a result the military wants to keep in good standing with key Congressmen such as Rep. Murtha. Unfortunately Murtha is the force behind the Generals who are pursuing with no justification, the case against a genuine hero, Col. Chessani.
The clearly corrupt congress has single digit approval numbers, yet we have nothing but empty suits on the Republican side of the aisle, including our President, IMO. He could stop this horrible travesty of justice in a moment, but then again we have two innocent border agents in prison. What a pity and disappointment to have such unenlightened or corrupt leaders! Who or what country are they trying to please I wonder?
The United States Marine Corps is ruining the reputation that took years and the blood of many valiant Marines to build.
So, the error in law (as the gov't sees it) is that Folsum made a mistake saying that the prosecutors (gov't) had to prove that their decision to prosecute Chessani was in no way affected by UCI. The prosecutors had to prove that UCI was not present. (Why would the defense want to prove that UCI was not present? Someone help me here?) Further, why would the defense have to prove that UCI was present, when all that is required is that they demonstrate the "appearance" of UCI?
The decision to prosecute Chessani is only part of it. The UCI influenced the very nature of the prosecution of Chessani. It influenced the decision to continue the prosecution, the manner in which the case was prosecuted, and the extent to which the government went in its prosecution. (The most investigators ever, millions of dollars spent, etc.)
All of these are related to Mattis' decision to allow Ewers into the room to influence anything that did get discussed or might have been discussed or recommended back to Mattis.
Finally, if Ewers is part of the government's appeal, has been consulted in any way at any step, or has had any form of presence whatsoever, then that seems to me to be a continuation of the UCI. Only now it is infecting the appeal.
Since our government is for the people, of the people and by the people this person says they’re wrong. I’d also like to cordially invite those in government who want to keep prosecuting these fine Americans to go have sex with themselves in the most painful way possible and then kill themselves because they’re too incompetent to remain in the gene pool. Yes ladies, that is the nice version.
