Federal Judge Overturns Conviction of
Army Deserter Bowe Bergdahl

Original Article

A federal judge has overturned the 2017 desertion conviction of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, claiming he did not receive a fair trial. The military judge in the case did not disclose that he had applied with the Justice Department to be an immigration judge after he retired. Bergdahl received a dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank, and forfeiture of $10,000 in pay in 2017 after becoming the sole U.S. service member to be captured in Afghanistan shortly after he left his post in June 2009. President Barack Obama exchanged Bergdahl for five noted Taliban terrorists, calling the deserter a “hero” in a Rose Garden ceremony. U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton rejected Bergdahl’s

Based on this 'judicial' logic, Charlie Manson should have been set free during his trial when Nixon said he was guilty. Once again, there is no such thing as a Federal Judge following the rule of law. Had Obambi or Biden been president during this deserter's trial, I bet this judge Walton would have celebrated their comments.

Bergdahl’s old unit needs to reunite and apply their own form of justice. I know a woman who lost her son because of Bergdahl. He was in a huge fight with the Taliban in which eight Americans were killed. They called for backup but there was none because their backup had been sent out to search for Bergdahl.

I don't understand how a federal judge has jurisdiction over the UCMJ. The way things are going in this country with federal judges, we might as well do away with jury trials and court martials and have federal judges decide everything.

It would appear that he didn't so much overturn the conviction on the two charges, but rather overturned the Punishment sentencing."...toss all orders after Bergdahl’s guilty plea". Jury selection had begun, Bergdahl decided to waive his jury trial in favor of a hopefully more lenient Judge trial, whereupon he then changed his plea to guilty. New Military Judge could decide Bergdahl deserved a MUCH harsher penalty. Up to Life in Prison. It is "Interesting" that this comes up as a similar circumstance is taking place in North Korea.

Bergdahl entered a guilty plea. There was no question of guilt since he plead guilty. The only question should have been his sentence. Now, the question is what happens next? The Biden DOJ is weak. The Biden administration will probably appoint Bergdahl to some special office within the Joint Chiefs to become the "first" deserter appointed to a high ranking military position.

He was not "captured." He went looking for the Taliban in order to join them, and they decided to let him live with them but wouldn't give him a gun. He should have faced a firing squad when he got back to the U.S. military,

Service protection for RFK Jr.

Posted by Hazymac 7/28/2023 3:04:20 PM Post Reply
Currently, RFK Jr. is the fastest-rising star in the presidential candidate universe, with a tragic family history of assassination. One would think that this would qualify him for U.S. Secret Service protection under 18 U.S.C. § 3056(a)(7), but one would be wrong. According to a tweet from RFK Jr., the Biden administration’s Homeland Security Secretary has said no. The biggest threat to the Biden administration today is RFK Jr., the son of Robert F. Kennedy (assassinated) and nephew of John F. Kennedy (assassinated). Rather than respecting Biden’s declaration that he’s running, RJK Jr. has looked at that corrupting, rotting bag of bones and thought to himself that he could do better.

The release of an FBI informant’s allegations about the Biden family’s dealings with Burisma finally explains what a Ukrainian energy company wanted with a corrupt American political clan. Why was Burisma paying a vice president’s son tens of thousands of dollars a month? According to the allegations on the FBI’s FD-1023 form released to Sen. Chuck Grassley by whistleblowers, Burisma wanted to launch an IPO in the United States and was looking to first buy an American energy company. Such a move would have required regulatory approval and would have also potentially been very lucrative for anyone on the inside. The allegations by the FBI informant describes Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma’s co-founder

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — A Florida camp powered by solar panels and a generator is home to about a dozen sex offenders who claim they were sent there by probation officers, but there is no indication the public was alerted. Land records indicate the tents that sit under a structure made from branches are on land owned by the Florida Department of Transportation. An FDOT spokesperson said they were “not aware of this.” Several sources, including a defense attorney, told Nexstar’s WFLA that anyone on probation is still “under sentence,” and they said that telling them to live outdoors violates state administrative code.

Federal prosecutors dropped a campaign finance charge against Sam Bankman-Fried, the second time they have narrowed the indictment against the founder of crypto exchange FTX . Prosecutors told Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday that they were dropping the charge of conspiracy to make unlawful campaign contributions because they had failed to obtain permission from the government of the Bahamas for that charge when Bankman-Fried was extradited from the island nation in December. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan previously dropped another charge against him, for violating anti-bribery statutes, on the same grounds.

American voters who struggle to enjoy the benefits of “Bidenomics” understand that Joe Biden and his family likely never earned an honest living while Joe was senator, vice president, or president. Now that iconic Democrat Robert Kennedy, Jr. has called for a serious investigation into suspicious wealth accumulation by the Biden family during the President’s long career chiefly as a “public servant,” one might be tempted to get lost in minutiae and go far back over years of evidence to see whether impeachment and conviction are warranted in 2023. In truth, there is a simpler approach: focus on the strange and dramatic increase in Joe Biden’s personal fortune from his time as

I do not think it means what you think it means.” It’s an indicator of how cloistered this White House is, because according to the NBC News article, Team Biden didn’t realize just how bad their chief’s public appearances had become until he tripped — “hard,” as NBC put it — over a sandbag

What exactly is “Bidenomics”? It’s a real headscratcher because Joe Biden — the individual it’s named after — can’t tell us what it is either. Biden wants to take credit for an improving economy — an economy he wrecked in the first place. He wants to claim authorship of a drop in inflation — inflation caused by his massively irresponsible $5 trillion in federal spending. And as Fox News points out, only the rate of inflation has fallen. Actual prices will probably never come down. Biden did nothing to bring inflation down. It was the Federal Reserve jacking up interest rates that has begun to cool off the overheated Biden economy.

Among the charges is that the former president allegedly told aides to 'wipe' security footage from his Florida club's server as a way to foil investigators probing the removal of classified documents from the White House.
