Hold up... he pled guilty to “...pleaded guilty to not meeting with a superior when ordered to do so and not showing up at Fort Campbell in Kentucky where he was supposed to report.”
This seems to me to have a LOT of wiggle room in it.
I think this pleading was very carefully worded for appeal.

I'm sorry, but that's not how it works. You can't qualify your guilty plea. In fact, the military judge is obligated to explore Lakin's understanding of his charges to ensure that he he understands completely what he's pleading guilty to, and what he's pleading guilty to is EXACTLY what the government is alleging. There are no "yeah, but"s allowed when entering a plea of guilty.
Lurking Libertarian is correct. It’s over. Lakin had no grounds for appeal regarding the issue of BO’s illegitimate presidency.
