The Navy SEAL who stood accused of murdering an Islamic State prisoner receiving medical care and shooting civilians was found not guilty of war crimes by a jury of soldiers on Tuesday.
I wouldn’t put anything past the Grifter in Chief.
If Trump “helped” get the not guilty verdict in some way through the use of executive authority, then he has once again engaged in obstruction of justice.
What a disgrace. The jury should be ashamed, even if the Defendant and Fat Nixon aren’t.
Off-topic: Biden’s fundraising numbers are in: $21.5 for the quarter. More than Sanders but less than Buttigieg. On a dollar-per-day basis, though, he is at the top, since he didn’t enter the race until a few weeks into the quarter.
Never mind this. Did anyone see Whiny’s tweet screaming that the census forms being printed without his pet citizenship question is not happening?
I looked at that and went, “:I thought it was 2019, not 1984;.”
"Gallagher was accused of murder and attempted murder after he allegedly fatally stabbed a 12-year-old ISIS prisoner who was being treated by U.S. medics…
Did the medics testify the prisoner died of recently inflicted stab wounds? Like, stab wounds that happened while in their care? Seems prosecutors would have had that part of the narrative locked up, or not have filed charges. So, where is the perp that did it?Well the case was so badly handled that it wouldn’t be surprising in the least if some ‘higher up’ had their hand in that farce.
What did he do? What kind of a question is that?
Without Dear Leader the sun wouldn’t rise, the Earth wouldn’t spin and the tides would never rise and fall. And they ask “But what did he even do”?
Promotions all around for the members of the jury?
Never mind this. Did anyone see Whiny’s tweet screaming that the census forms being printed without his pet citizenship question is not happening?.
Just throwing a little bone to the rubes. They will have forgotten about it by 2020
They tell us that justice is blind. It’s apparent that this jury of “soldiers” was as well.
Naw. Once the prosecution fucked it up and had a witness claim that he killed the guy and not Gallagher, the case was pretty much fucked.
Now the guy who claimed that may be in quite some hot water…
Trump Takes Credit For Navy SEAL’s Not Guilty Verdict. But What Did He Even Do?
SEALed his fate?
Wasn’t he at some memorial service in France where he said the weather was unusually good and left it unsaid that he was obviously thus favored by the weather gods? He said it miraculously stopped raining for his inauguration, although in fact it didn’t stop raining.
He is a CRAZY PERSON.
But we knew that. 
He probably arranged for this to happen:
ETA: Know what that would be called? Yeah…obstruction of justice…again…
So from the story that @sniffit posted:
Special Operator 1st Class Corey Scott claimed credit for the killing after being granted immunity by a judge in exchange for testimony for the prosecution. Prosecutors reportedly accused Scott of lying in order to protect Gallagher.
“So you can stand up there and you can lie about how you killed the ISIS prisoner so Chief Gallagher does not have to go to jail,” prosecutor Lt. Brian John asked Scott during the trial, according to the AP. “You don’t want Chief Gallagher to go to jail, do you?”
“He’s got a wife and family,” Scott reportedly responded. “I don’t think he should be spending his life in prison.”
Scott testified Thursday that he asphyxiated the Iraqi militant as an act of mercy after Gallagher, who was treating the militant for injuries sustained in an airstrike, became enraged, stabbing the young man below the collarbone and then walking away without finishing treatment.
THIS is the testimony that is clearing him? What about attempted murder then?
He is clearly taking responsibility for the end result, just like he did for Otto Warmbier and K. Khashoggi.
I think what happened is it made enough of a mess of the facts that the jury had to decide that “beyond a reasonable doubt” was not met. Mission Accomplished.
