CNN ^ | May 24, 2019 | Zachary Cohen

An attorney for Navy SEAL chief Edward "Eddie" Gallagher also represents the Trump Organization, CNN has learned, just days after reports surfaced indicating the President is considering pardoning Gallagher of charges that could constitute war crimes.

Gallagher faces a slew of accusations connected to violations of military law while he was deployed to the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2017, including premeditated murder in the stabbing death of an injured person in Iraq. He has pleaded not guilty.

Trump Organization lawyer Marc Mukasey started working on the case in recent months, according to sources familiar with the situation.

It’s the latest tactic of the MSM-Democrats to try to cause the financial ruin of anyone they have a political disagreement with, including depriving them of any opportunity to work in their field.

I don’t remember CNN making a big deal out of the Democrat backgrounds of Mueller’s lawyers.

I think it's just feel-good Trump-hate for the hard-core CNN discretionary viewer demographic.

Boob bait for the bubbas, to use a phrase coined by the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

They just wanted a headline with ‘Trump’ and ‘war crimes’ in the title.

That is all.

Just more fake news.

And CNN had no problem with 20 political, democratic hacks that were entwined with clinton, et al, trying to undo an election and indict a sitting President. WOW!!!

Unlike their hopelessly diluted notion of “obstruction,” this appears to be a case of “hastening justice,” and good at that. In contrast, the most disgraceful aspect of W Bush’s legacy was his apathy in the face of the legal abuses of the troops he sent to war and hamstrung with his rules of engagement, whose offenses were born of trying to prosecute his war and promote their survival in impossible conditions.

Didn’t Hillary legally represent the Black Panthers early in her career?
