Today was all about CYA (Covering Ewers, Riggs, Mattis and Hellend’s a$$e$) and throwing Frank Wuterich, the enlisted guy to the wolves.

Frank Wuterich, a leader who was caught in a hellhole firefight during a city wide planned attack by the insurgency in Haditha and still miraculously brought all but one of his men home alive.

Here's what Judge Jones said this afternoon starting at 1:00 pm: “Denied” and then 39 mins & 59 seconds of blah blah blah, CTA (covering their a$$e$) blah blah, Riggs and Ewers have big enough egos not to cow tow to influence, blah blah blah, Mattis and Hellend weren't impacted by Ewers siting in on every meeting (even though he conducted investigations with the Bargewell investigation to implicate the Marines) and now everyone is supposed to believe Ewers had NO IMPACT on the outcome.

Thanks for relating what took place today in the hearing room Saoirise.

After seeing Jones’ ruling I figured it was something along those lines.

Do you know if Frank’s defense team made any kind of statement at all after the hearing? There’s been nothing said in the media accounts that I’ve been able to find.

Thanks also for attending the hearings!
