Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said on Thursday the Navy will investigate SEAL Eddie Gallagher over his admission in a recent interview that he did intend to kill an ISIS detainee despite being acquitted of the man's murder in 2019. (emphasis mine)

Gallagher made the bombshell admission in an interview on Apple's 'The Line' podcast on Tuesday regarding the 2017 death of a 17-year-old militant captive in Iraq.

...

'I didn't stab him. I didn't stab that dude,' Gallagher said. 'That dude died from all the medical treatments that were done – and there was plenty of medical treatments that were done to him.

The SEALs are loyal to Trump and are guarding him and escorting him all over the place to government meetings. Now that loser Austin who I don’t think is even allowed in the Pentagon...

Your posts are a never ending source of amusement. Thank you for that.

Do you not have even the most remote clue of what is happening in this country? Did you not listen to Trump on Maria Bartiroma? He said “I didn’t go with the insurrection act because I wanted people to see what it was like when things are poorly run”.

Trump is letting everyone wake up well except for you 😆 and realize how bad communism really is so we never let it happen again. He’s running a shadow govt and he’s being protected by the military. If he wasn’t do you really believe Trump would still be alive? Not likely. St some point once the evidence of the steal comes out through these audits nobody will be able to say it was Trump producing false evidence and then the military will step in.

Trump won the election in a landslide. He is the rightful President. It is imperative that he be returned to the office and the Biden administration sent packing.

Couldn’t agree more. Someone said history doesn’t repeat it rhymes.

Echoes of Cultural Revolution under Mao. Echoes of military purges under Stalin. Echoes of race driven politics like Nazi Germany. Not one bad parallel but many.

He couldn’t be court-martialed for the death, but if they decided he committed perjury, they could try him for that. I don’t know if he actually testified at his trial, which would be necessary for a perjury charge.

There’s no Double Jeopardy protection in military courts.

I'd say better than you, if your posts are any indication.

There is no rule of law, so it’s anything goes.

Our justice system is now at the level of “let’s get that guy”.

The Founders never foresaw the country becoming infested with swarms of prosecutor-locusts...

No rule of law for leftists. The rest of us are held to some laws that don’t even exist.

No rule of law doesn’t just mean the favored don’t get prosecuted, it also means the disfavored get persecuted.
They’ll make it up if they can’t find anything legitimate, we’ve already seen that in spades.
