(Holy shit, the annex is 400+ pages!)

Read the new language and changes that Executive Order 13825 does to the Military Justice Act and to the Manual for Court Martials, not to mention the 114th Congress Public Law 114-328. It undoes (again) the softening up that Obama did to those laws. Obama, in essence made many of the court protocols "defendant friendly" even in the most egregious of instances .

Especially distinct were the shifts and amendments in relation to courtroom and defendant protocol before, during, and after being taken into custody by the Military, for sex crimes. Also noted were big adjustments in how sensitive evidence in sexually explicit court-matters is to be handled, presented, sealed, etc., and a lot of mentioning of new protocol for in camera evaluations of sensitive evidence, and in the questioning of defendants. Mentions of relaxing strict rules and attitudes dealing with the immunization of defense witnesses was also noticed.

Sometimes a one word change or redaction in a specific sentence in a statute , creates a huge shift in meaning that will seal a loophole, and the fate of anyone accused.

And another thing that people don't realize, is that when Trump declared a state of emergency (in a Dec. 21st signing of an Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption), he created the means for the Federal Gov't to exert it's right to hold military trials, for basically ANY citizen of the US accused of crimes like these……whether they are in the military or not.

>R.C.M. 704(c)

>amendments to procedures for granting immunity

Holy fuck. He's expanding grants for immunity. Read the changes to 704(e): decision to grant immunity, very specifically:

>R.C.M. 704(e)(2)

>The Government has engaged in discriminatory use of immunity to gain a tactical advantage, or the Government, through its own overreaching, has forced the witness to invoke the privilege against self-incrimination
