Lawyer for Navy SEAL accused of war crimes also works for Trump Organization
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 appears Marc is the son of Michael Mukasey, who was AG under GW Bush. Michael is a very good guy. I always listen when I see him on TV. He has a lot of cred, in my book.

No problem.

In the meantime, Navy SEAL Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher, could claim he has a sexual identity problem due to the court martial proceedings.

Reads like Cold War propaganda, from the USSR side.

Read up on the story about how she defended an obviously guilty child rapist.

When will Congress request all Marc Mukasey’s formerly private financial records?

This would be an "intersection of interests".

As opposed to the many CNN staff with CONFLICTS of interest.

They are gonna lose in the long ron.

No one gives a #### about financial records and fewer still would understand the “crime” that was committed.

These desperate moves show me they are losing the country and losing their minds.

They have no problem with attorneys that worked for the Clinton campaign or for the Clinton Foundation working on an investigation of the President, but there is a problem with this???

If they want to play the incestuous relationships card, I'm all in.

There won't even be ashes left in the crater.
