Milley To Face Charges

[WorldWatcher]

He'll be pardoned in the next presidency if he is convicted.

He already has a pardon.

Charges are "on the table" means that they are still talking about it.

Treason might be a bit harsh. Sedition and attempted subversion of the chain of command of our military might be more appropriate.

Firing squads are very difficult to pardon effectively.

What he did was harsh....
And it wasn't like he didn't know what he was doing.

He knew the possible consequences and thought he could get away with it....a calculated risk. He lost.

 

[Invisibleflash]

Looks like we are going to charge a military General with Treason.
To be fair....this isn't some shadowy investigation with questionable evidence....this is a result of public statements and documented facts. There is zero question as to what exactly happened.,..no one is denying or refuting the facts.

Don't like Milley, but do you like Hegseth better?

I doubt he'd get a firing squad.

Just like Hillary didn't get prosecuted. ~

If you start killing high up people... it doesn't stop.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Yes please!

The discovery and disclosure of information on the administration would be stupendous.

I love people who get their news from Twitter. LOL

Trump's revenge tour continues, but I suspect Milley's case won't even reach trial.

Excellent point.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I am feeling that the OP lacks veracity.

 

[Divine Wind]

Yeah, some people are just plain above the law.

That's what Trump keeps seeking to do. Is Iran a war or not? Even Trump calls it a war.

I fully support all the evidence of Trump and Milley coming out in court. Let's see just how crazy Trump really is. LOL

Milley will not get a trial.
Say it with me now.

MILITARY TRIBUNAL

UCMJ is what will be used....not some Obama appointed judge or laws written by congress at the last minute. No slick lawyering either. His lawyer will be appointed just like everyone else's.

It's not a civilian matter as if he beat his wife after getting tossed from the military....

 

[Zincwarrior]

So this whole thread is based on a Rando Twitter post. You MAGAs are ******* insane.

Ummmmm
Much better conversation than the ones:

"Everyone abandoning MAGA"

"Republicans leaving and turning Democrat....face the fear"

"Republicans admit they hate Trump"

"Midterm Blue Wave means new Trump Impeachment"

None of these are remotely true or going to be true....as in:
"Thanks Alex,
I'll take 'Things that never will happen' for $200."

However,
"General Defies President, Faces New Charges of Treason"

Isn't worth discussing?

Ummmmmm.....
You have to see a doctor about your cognitive functions.

Say it with me, "A courts-martial is a trial".

Obviously you never served. The biggest mistake our nation ever made, and I blame the Democrats for this, is eliminating the draft. It turned our nation into having a bunch of candy-assed men who have no clue about the real world.

The commander may dispose of the offenses by court-martial. If the commander decides that the offense is serious enough to warrant trial by court-martial, the commander may exercise the fourth option, preferring and forwarding charges. The commander may chose from three potential levels of court-martial: summary, special, or general court-martial. These courts-martial differ in the procedures, rights, and possible punishment that can be adjudged. A summary court-martial is designed to dispose of minor offenses. Only enlisted soldiers may be tried by summary court-martial. A single officer presides over the hearing. The accused has no right to counsel but may hire an attorney to represent him. A special court-martial is an intermediate level composed of either a military judge alone, or at least three members and a judge. An enlisted service member may ask that at least one-third of the court members be enlisted. There is both a prosecutor, commonly referred to as the trial counsel, and a defense counsel. In addition, the accused may be represented by civilian counsel, at no expense to the government, or by an individually requested military counsel.

A general court-martial is the military's highest level trial court.

If you would only read what you post....

No wonder you didn't do well in the military.

You didn't read the entire link. Sad.

Sadder is the fact you were proved wrong in claiming a courts-martial isn't a trial, but now you want to make it my fault. This is very telling about your level of honesty, knowledge and maturity.

Milley's case will never make it to trial, courts-martial or Trumpian Kangaroo Court.

Now you are saying things I did not say. Never even hinted at.

Miss him like an inflamed hemorrhoid.

No matter what...
When in the military, you cannot thumb your nose at the Commander (defy orders) and expect to get away with it.
Not gonna work.

Never has in the past and will not in the future.

Militaries follow orders....or else.
