Navy retaliated against SEAL Keith Barry after refusing to sign paperwork admitting guilt

Full Title: Navy retaliated against SEAL Keith Barry after refusing to sign paperwork admitting guilt, he says – Navy denies .

Navy Seal Chief Keith Barry has been through hell and back. He was released from jail in 2017 after serving three years for a crime that he didn’t commit, after it was discovered that one of the top lawyers in the Navy personally tried to ensure he was found guilty.

-snip-

Three years after the conviction, and after two failed appeals, it was revealed in 2017 that the convening authority in his case had been pressured to rule against the evidence and to uphold the conviction against Barry in the post-trial clemency phase.

In September 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) threw out the charges and dismissed Barry’s case “with prejudice,” meaning the government can never renew the charges or take up the case again.

Barry was reinstated into the Navy at his last held rank, senior chief, and it was ordered that his back pay be restored, as well as his other privileges. He reported to Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego Bay while he was on active duty following his reinstatement.

This is the kind of thing that chaps my hide. A Navy SEAL, Senior Chief no less, is wrongfully tried and convicted due to corruption at the leadership level. I would like to see those responsible for this go to trial, convicted, then given the same 3 years time in a hard labor prison and have all pension benefits stripped from them.

In fact; I'd like to see all corrupt politicians given the same sentence and all their benefits stripped from them as well. We could start with Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Cummings, Omar, Tlaib, etc. etc. but they are not all dems. There are some very corrupt republicans as well. This deep state corruption is the problem with our government. Pardon my rant but I'm so sick of these criminals in positions of leadership.

During the Obama yrs many good and decent officers were “retired” in favor of boot licking liberals being elevated to command positions.

Trump should rehire all those forced into retirement.

Nobama a-holes are seemingly everywhere. Hopefully, they will experience Justice one way or another.

As much as I too would like to see that; good ones like them land on their feet and have gone on to other careers. Still, even if we could get a quarter or third of them back, it would benefit our military greatly.

Grammar nazi alert:

It should read, “Navy retaliated against SEAL Keith Barry after he refused to sign paperwork admitting guilt.”

Crawford needs to be arrested immediately. All pension and other benefits need to be suspended. If convicted of this - and it looks bad for him - then Crawford needs to go to prison for years, lose all military benefits and have his record amended to record a dishonorable discharge.

Why do I get the sickening feeling that Crawford will just skate away scot free?

The Fraud’s handlers had eight years to do all they could to America, with absolutely no fear of retribution.

“There was no action taken against Senior Chief Barry for refusing to sign documents while in the brig, and under no circumstances does the brig deny any prisoner access to prescribed medications,”

Liars.

THIS came into my FB page today and I am enamored with the concept.



This can be used understanding the education system which produces the people that are so troublesome to our nation.

I think the momentum to flood our nation with illegals is the result of people waking up to how we've been SO manipulated and robbed and, though we may not know what direction to take, we know what direction NOT to take.

sounds like Obama’s commissars are still running the Navy headquarters.

Crap like this was going on during the Bush years too. Recall the Haditha Marines?
