The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces has shot down an effort by convicted deserter and former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl to have his conviction overturned based on comments made about him by President Donald Trump.
"Appellant asks this Court to dismiss with prejudice the charges and specifications against him, or in the alternative, to grant other meaningful relief such as approving a sentence of no punishment. We decline to do so," Judge Kevin A. Ohlson wrote.
In his ruling, Ohlson noted that "it is essential to note that the conduct Appellant engaged in, and the charges to which he pleaded guilty, were very serious offenses for which either a life sentence or the death penalty were authorized punishments."

Bergdahl owes a debt to several military families that he will never be able to repay.
What’s wrong with American Thinker?
Rotten , despicable lawyers ,they know no allegiance except to filthy lucre and mammon
Bowe Bergdahl, Obama’s pet Muslim.
Exactly right. What kook avoids the firing squad and then complains? That’s the very definition of chutzpah.
He was virtually praised by the lying Jug Ears and Chunk Hagel as a returning hero In the treacherous swap for the five Taliban kingpin leaders.

“I did something bad because I don’t like somebody” is what it boils down to, and not a valid defense, to say the least.
He needs to get the Private Slovik treatment.
Don’t want to be convicted of desertion?
Don’t run away from your unit, dumbass
Pres. Trump didn’t do squat, he was merely exercising his right to free speech
bergdahl is a disgusting piece of filth.
Bowe Bergdahl remains a very sour taste in my mouth and brain! Combat deserter, a hapless POW, an EXCUSE for President Obama to ‘play nice’ with the Taliban, a reproach on the UCMJ that the politicized Court Martial & appeals gave an all too lenient sentence and now he appears again, trying for another bite of that apple. There will be an appeal to the Supreme Court but they may wait to see if a President Biden would do a full pardon. Yes, it is possible and the googleplexd reason to never vote Biden!
” . . . either a life sentence or the death penalty were authorized punishments.”
Ungrateful traitor. I would have preferred the death penalty. He’s got HIS favorite president to thank for being a free person today. And to think: Hussein traded FIVE terrorists for this sorry piece of excrement.
Mookabooker deserves Hanging.
There wasn't much entertainment in those isolated mud brick houses, but what there was, they probably took turns getting from Bowed over.
Trump’s behavior in this episode has been terrible. Bergdahl would have been much worse off by now if the President could have kept his mouth shut.
At least Obama, after committing a massive unforced error realized he’d screwed up and changed course and left Bergdahl to the military’s criminal justice processes.
