Agree.
You're welcome, thank you. More eyes on this avenue the better, methinks.
Need some time & concentration to cross-ref the EO w/ UCMJ but this caught my eye :
>Sec. 12. In accordance with Article 33 of the UCMJ, as amended by section 5204 of the MJA, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, will issue nonbinding guidance regarding factors that commanders, convening authorities, staff judge advocates, and judge advocates should take into account when exercising their duties with respect to the disposition of charges and specifications in the interest of justice and discipline under Articles 30 and 34 of the UCMJ.
>That guidance will take into account, with appropriate consideration of military requirements, the principles contained in official guidance of the Attorney General to attorneys for the Federal Government with respect to the disposition of Federal criminal cases in accordance with the principle of fair and evenhanded administration of Federal criminal law.
Appears that ground is being laid to make sure everything is done under the guise of even & fair application under the law.
With his legal knowledge, Lionel could be a great asset in explaining to everyone in simple terms going forward.
And much more entertaining to listen to than Laura Ingrham imho (too much inside lawyer baseball = yawn).
Agree on the rambling, maybe some legal meat will help him focus.
He does seem more suited to East Coast types, manic like most of them ;)
Nice eye. It does seem like that verbage gives them cover to operate at their discretion.
Lots to unpack in a few short paragraphs, even for the white-shoe types.
Wonder how many of them have experience with UCMJ? Bet not many…
"proper handling & protection of classified information during pre-trial & trial of the case"
including DEFENSE COUNSEL yes?
