Great summary! Never thought about the Espionage Act, but Kerry was open to myriad UCMJ charges as well. He was still in uniform. Never happened. But it’s interesting that he chose Boston College for his Bachelor of Law degree. The notorious Fr. Drinan, who ran for and was elected to Congress, was Law faculty at BC, and JF*K worked on his campaign. Guess we’ll never know whether it was a dishonorable discharge that kept him from the better-known law schools, but we certainly DO know that his connection to a BC democrat helped in his admission to ANY law school!
Kerry first applied to Harvard Law School.
They turned him down due to inadequate grades as a Yale undergraduate.
Thus, JF*K was forced to settle for BC.
Then his boss---the Pope---told him he wasn't too pleased about that. He had better quit Congress.
And he did.
