Even if Trump had been POTUS when he made his comments we have a precedent regarding this type of presidential opining. If that argument did not work for Charlie it should not work for the traitor Bergdahl.

Lots of precedent

Yeah - there's been quite a bit of presidential opining in legal cases. Funny how some are so quick to forget these things. This is just one of several.

Totally agree, he abandoned his post, put his fellow soldiers lives at risk, and he is in every word a traitor to this Country. American soldiers died searching for that little imp, he is getting off way too cheap.....

The Rose Garden Hero Who "Served with Distinction"

This asshat should be in prison orange with a buzz-cut. He dishonors the uniform.

Now, the defense asshats are trying to blame Trump for the fact that they don't have a leg to stand on!

Bergdahl Hearing Expected to Focus on Criticism from Trump

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2...=todayinmil.sm

RALEIGH, N.C. — Lawyers for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will try to convince a judge that he cannot get a fair trial on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy because of highly charged statements made by President Donald Trump.

A pretrial hearing Monday before a military judge at Fort Bragg is expected to focus on statements that Trump made during the presidential campaign. Trump called Bergdahl a "traitor" repeatedly and said he deserved a harsh punishment.

Bergdahl is scheduled for trial in April. He is accused of endangering the lives of soldiers who searched for him after he walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009.

Military prosecutors say reasonable observers would understand that Trump's comments amounted to campaign rhetoric and should not be taken literally.

LTC Sinclair's lawyers made the case that Obama's comments towards sexual assault in the military unduly influenced the impartiality of him getting a fair trial. I do not recall if it was successful or not.

Bergdahl doesn't have the amount of money that Sinclair had to throw at lawyers. Though it's possible that the ACLU or some other activist group might put something into the coffers of the traitors defense.

Don't know how it'll turn out, it's bound to be both interesting and disgusting.

Traitor/Coward Bowe Bergdahl

Traitor/Coward Bowe Bergdahl

This is what the "left" is good at, never ever take the blame/responsibility. Instead when guilty as hell blame someone else, Wag the Dog, or look for an excuse.

Traitor/Coward Bowe Bergdahl you should have never been allowed to wear the uniform of the United States Army and you should have never been allowed to walk off the battlefield alive. You are nothing but a bottom feeding, Traitor/Coward, scumbag.

Well, I do need practice on the firing range eventually....it is totally disgusting that this is lingering on. He is a little rat ass traitor and should be dealt with accordingly; shark chum comes to mind

Trump wasn't CIC at the time. How far back in a persons history is he/she responsible to the law? If, when he was 4 yrs old, he told his sister he was going to kill her if she stepped on his toes again, does that make him a threat to women?

Fake court.

Let it run

Good call in my view. Full story.

A military judge won't throw out charges against Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl despite scathing comments that President Donald Trump made on the campaign trail.

Bergdahl's lawyers had argued that Trump's comments violated their client's due-process rights and that the judge should dismiss charges accusing him of endangering comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009.

The Judge, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, wrote in his ruling Friday that he found Trump's comments disturbing but that they didn't constitute unlawful command influence.

Interesting.....as a candidate Trump was simply a citizen and had no command influence.
To move that chess piece forward into his Presidency would be a huge precedent and a stupid one.
I think the judge to lenient in his comments..... he is interpreting campaign comments.

So, just out of curiosity, if Bowe Bergdahl and Bradley Manning were both drowning and you only had time to save ONE of them...





...what kind of sandwich would you make?

Ham and cheese, and I'll add some bacon on it for good measure and wash it down with a good cold beer. Of course toasting the day as a very good day.
