I wonder how well President Obama would have fared had he been scrutinized as aggressively as is President Trump. Imagine the Tweets he would have treated us to...

Sad though anyway you slice it. If I was the military I would refer this case to civilian prosecutor so that they can be prosecuted civilian side.

The military gets convictions in cases that a civilian prosecutor won't even touch or sometimes after a finding of not guilty in civilian courts

To even make comment that indicate any conclusion on anyone in the Chain of Command right up to any President is improper. its the presiding Court that has full jurisdiction and then a higher court if appealed. In the case of the Military Court of Military Appeals or a Court of Military review to evaluate the case. Undue, unlawful Command influence has no legitimate place at any level. In civilian Courts there are also higher levels at both local and Federal levels Courts. In both Civilian and Military appeals can be heard and ruled on by the United States Supreme Court. While in college I had written some term paper on just that and the influence of Mapp vs Ohio on Court Martial cases, which dealt with illegal search and seizure, or Miranda vs Arizona on involuntary Confessions which the first Military Case that was applied to was the United States vs Tempia which was six months after the Miranda decision on Involuntary confessions, Both Papers were 35 pages type written and much of the information was from CMR, Court Martial Reports plus civilian case law from sources such as American Jurisprudence and other detailed case files. (I did get an A+ on both papers) i was able to use the Base Law Library at Hickham AFB, HI and an Air Force Lawyer at the JAG office showed Me how to research and follow the cases.
