A Broken Military Justice System

From Instapundit via the New York Slimes:

“The deal followed a stunning ruling by a military judge last week suggesting that by holding out for more severe punishment, and by rejecting an earlier plea deal, the senior Army officer overseeing the prosecution might have been improperly influenced by political considerations in bringing the most severe charges against the general because of a desire to show new resolve in the military against sexual misconduct. The prosecution had also been badly shaken by revelations that the general’s accuser may have lied under oath. .................

In the Sinclair matter, the commanding officer appears to have ignored his colleagues’ reservations in an effort to look tough on sexual assaults and avoid criticism at a moment when the military is under pressure to address its sexual assault crisis. Yet tilting the scales of justice to look tough is no less reprehensible than tilting them against victims of abuse by senior officers.”

In this Administration, politicized justice has become the norm. It’s a big deal when someone even notices.

This Regime has never been about the truth or the facts, it has been about spin and power.
