Col Nance is the one who should be going to Leavenworth.

Maybe he’ll even run for Senate.

Trump had nothing to do with the sentence

In fact, Judge Nance specifically addressed the issue of Trump undue command influence and completely shot down the idea of Trump influence as political campaign rhetoric with no impact on the case

The reason for this is because Judge Nance was a carefully selected Obama era ringer who was appointed to make sure Bergdahl went free.

If Nance had admitted Trump Command influence Nance would have had to vacate the bench, declare a mistrial and put another judge, one not selected by Obama partisans to cover their agenda and let Bergdahl skate, on the case .

Because the Judge said so..but as someone pointed out..may be scapegoat for his decision. Would have done it anyway

>His name is Colonel Jeffrey Nance and he was not appointed by anybody. He is a member of the Judge Advocate General Corps, assigned to the Trial Judiciary as a military judge.

Well, there’s your problem. The only people who should be judging fighting men are other fighting men. A homo from JAG shouldn’t be allowed to do anything besides pick the curtains for the prison cells.

He is getting the back pay according to article I read earlier (can’t remember where). And yes, Bergdahl will receive roughly $300K.

I’m not capable of expressing what I think about this judge and this soldier.

Judge is a zero and should be dishonorably discharged.

There are six patriots who LOST their whole lives looking for him

There were six who died looking for him. Is there proof of this out there, or has it been wiped off the net? How could they possibly ignore six dead soldiers???

According to his lawyer: “He has lost nearly a decade of his life.”

Well, sir, others lost theirs completely.

Were these six even brought up at his trial?

Deserters go free, but others go to prison.

Almost time

ssgt. Wuterich, under entirely different circumstances, under a bull crap tip - (Timn McGirk from Time magazine and Frank F’n Murtha) punishment was almost as a bad for a plea of dereliction of duty.

Just beam me up.

He will be reduced in grade to E-1 then kept on active duty until the fine is paid. Then he will be Dishonorably Discharged.
