GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP !!!

obaMao's deep state hacks can shove it.
It was not deep state hacks who found 1LT Lorance guilty through a military court martial and sentenced him to 19 years. He was given due process through legal means with appropriate legal representation.
That being said it is the President's prerogative to pardon him, so I cannot argue against that. But he was found guilty. That stain should remain in his military record just as it would in mine or yours had either of us done what he did and had had our say in a military court martial to defend our actions.
And Golsteyn's pardon should have waited until after his court martial made a determination of guilt or innocence. I know the President has that power, but it sets a bad precedent IMO. It sets a green light for American war crimes, not something we want as a nation of laws who appropriately have taken other countries' soldiers to world courts for their own individual war crimes.
I would refer you back to the cases against Capt. Medina and 1LT Calley from the Vietnam War. War crimes are war crimes and should be appropriately adjudicated by military court martial. When that is done a pardon is within the scope of the President as well it should be according to our laws.

That is a excellent post, Tex, but it is far more complicated than that. Exculpatory evidence was WITHHELD by obaMao's gov.
that is the deep state. That is not due process, and some of his own soldiers testified against him. None were without fault, you know as well as I, what the soldiers were allegedly given, was an illegal order. Except, the three men riding a motorcycle could have had a bomb or bomb vests. The cases you refer to, Medina and Calley - are not in any way similar for the most part. Given that the soldiers who obeyed? an illegal order? ...they should have been held accountable. They were given immunity for testifying against him.
Doesn't work for me, Tex.
Note: I was a good bit of an expert on the UCMJ. I actually created a new way to file them - the new way caught on, and my commander told me it was in the works to require it be established as standard.
Also note:
Someone I admire hugely: Col. West.
Listen closely what he has to say about both cases:
-
IT's dirty obaMao's fault, Tex. The Rules of Engagement obamao ordered...........
do not work in combat. It was a disgrace. The bomb maker was absolutely guilty.

This is big coming from someone like Barr:
Barr accuses Democrats of 'using every tool' to 'sabotage' Trump

these are dangerous times now. The left/globalist/deep state corrupt sombeitch half of our country hates all of us, and hate anyone who isn't deep state that gets elected.
Dang. Watch the movie "shooter". A lot like that.

cal I listened to what he said but he does not give what exculpatory evidence he says was withheld against Lorance. That's an easy statement to make but you have to back it up with what it was. In Golsteyn's case he says they reopened the case when originally there was not enough evidence to prosecute. That is not at all unusual even in civilian life. If further evidence comes to light which is enough to charge someone, then you reopen and file the charges. Again he does not explain what the evidence was or how he can make that judgement when he is not a part of the case. It all sounded very nice, but lacked any substance. I mostly hear excuses for not being able to separate civilians from warriors. Hmmm, wonder where I ever encountered that before?

Tex - that's pretty weak - maybe you are not entitled to know. You know, maybe classified? Judges order it not be made public? Not be allowed?
But the President has access to all of it - so, I will go with that - the guys on the front lines, unless it's a clear open and shut case, should not be prosecuted because of the marxist/leftwing political bigotry and stupid ass rules of engagement Obamao inflicted on our military.

What's pretty weak? The fact the guy you asked me to watch did not provide any details to back up his claim? His claim was unsupported so it has no face value as he presents it. And now you claim maybe it's all secret? And what proof of that do you present? None. Last I knew a court martial is not held in secret. The rules of war do not allow you to shoot suspects in civilian clothes just because you think they may be the enemy. Now had they been identified as such and they were fair game, that's well within the rules. Otherwise our trained snipers would be out of business.
A court martial is conducted much like a criminal trial in that the burden of proof is always on the prosecution. It's entirely made up of military officers in the case of an officer on trail. They very well understand how those rules of court martial work. And they know what it takes to prove a murder rather than a killing in the line of duty. So drop all that leftwing/marxist crap. It had nothing to do with being found guilty and being sentenced.

obaMao's "Rules of Engagement" were a result of stupidass globalism, equaling - marxist/leftwing political bigotry because obaMao was a marxist/leftist political bigot.
So, no, I won't drop it. And the civilian was a BOMB MAKER. That was fact. In fact, I believe that whatever order there was to release the bomb maker (obaMao can go to hell).... was an illegal order. Which we both know as fact, you are NOT REQUIRED TO FOLLOW.
And, not only was I a semi-expert on the UCMJ, I was asked early on by commanders, etc, about what part of the UCMJ deals with ...
whatever the subject. That is how I ended up thinking to develop a subject-based arrangement of the entire UCMJ set of documents, with numerical order within subjects. It hadn't been done before, apparently. So, I developed an index of all subjects, published it with the entire set, and per subject, you could easily find the particular UCMJ document you needed. I developed it over months.
The UCMJ is several large volumes. I don't remember how many. I literally have read the ENTIRE UCMJ. and AF regs. and BASE regs. I set it all up with the subject filing.
and, FYI, I used to type up Article 15 and Court-Martial papers. Don't go all "He's a decorated veteran, so you should agree with him and hate Pres Trump Too"... and then discount Col. West's decorated service.
and my claim about "classified evidence"... was just a suggestion, not a declaration of fact. I agree 100% about pardoning these two veterans, based on the complexity of the extenuating circumstances.
and don't try to counter with the "my lai" scandal again. That is completely emotional crap. Not any kind of legitimate comparison in the slightest.

Wading through most of this the fact remains neither LTC West nor yourself have provided any evidence of either 1. The court martial was held in secret or 2. There was exculpatory evidence. None of the rest of what you say has any effect since it is primarily emotional. Did I ever discount LTC West's service? No. You added that yourself, not I. Did I ever question your own service including experience with UCMJ. No I did not. But the Facts remain as stated. Where is the evidence of secret trail and where is the exculpatory evidence, especially in the 1LT Lorance case where his own men testified against his unlawful orders? Document both and I will read them.

Whatever you say. First of all the charges are bullshit and the proof is bullshit. Arguing about it really doesn't change anything so realizing you are on a fixed income is there anything you care to wager on whether or not the president is impeached and removed from office?
Furthermore, as stupid as they are, I don't think Democrats really think they're going to snare him. Plan from the start was just to keep the shite echoing in the news media hoping it would give them a chance to win the White House with one of these ridiculous candidates.

You do realize this discussion is about the pardoning of at least one person (1LT Lorance) already convicted for war crimes right? It's not about the impeachment at all.

Yes you do tex. If you want to accuse the president or Hillary or me or anybody else at Raider then I expect you to have hard-and-fast evidence. Sorry. Just hatting the guy isn't quite good enough.

I've provided evidence in the past but it just gets ignored, so why bother? You can start with his record inaugural crowds and follow the over 10,000 and counting if you wish. Or you can take the "No quid pro quo" which is his most recent lie of the day which several people under oath have said is otherwise the case. But usually what happens is then the messengers get attacked rather than actual examination of the message. Like I said. Why bother?
