    Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher said on Wednesday that PayPal “deplatformed” his Pipe Hitter Foundation after setting up a fundraiser for Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer who went viral for demanding accountability after the chaotic evacuation from Afghanistan.“Just hours after launching our campaign for LtCol Scheller he has been deplatformed by @paypal,” Gallagher said in his Wednesday Facebook post. “Big Tech has been doing this for years to silence, crush, and intimidate individuals and their families and destroy their livelihoods.”

    Retired Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher was on Steve Bannon's War Room this morning, the segment last about 6 minutes but in the interview Gallagher said he had recently spoken with a friend still active duty, which I assume means the guy is a current Navy Seal, according to Gallagher the Navy the NCIS is investigating Special Operators for Social Media posts, likes, voting patterns basically anything that would show disagreement the current administration and labeling them an extremist, which sounded to me like those people would be out of the military in short order or basically their career is over....One...

    Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said on Thursday the Navy will investigate SEAL Eddie Gallagher over his admission in a recent interview that he did intend to kill an ISIS detainee despite being acquitted of the man's murder in 2019. (emphasis mine) Gallagher made the bombshell admission in an interview on Apple's 'The Line' podcast on Tuesday regarding the 2017 death of a 17-year-old militant captive in Iraq. ... 'I didn't stab him. I didn't stab that dude,' Gallagher said. 'That dude died from all the medical treatments that were done – and there was plenty of medical treatments...

    Retired Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher is suing Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite and a New York Times reporter, claiming Navy officials leaked personal documents to the newspaper in an attempt to smear him and pressure him into taking a plea deal over war-crimes charges. Gallagher, a 15-year SEAL, was found not guilty last year of killing a teen Islamic State fighter in 2017, shooting at unarmed Iraqi civilians and other criminal charges. However, he was convicted of posing with a corpse for photos in a highly charged case that had been marred by a series of prosecutorial missteps. The lawsuit, filed...

    Special Operator 1st Class Corey Scott, a medic in the platoon, told the investigators: “You could tell he was perfectly OK with killing anybody that was moving.” Such dire descriptions of Gallagher, who had eight combat deployments and sometimes went by the nickname Blade, are in marked contrast to Trump’s portrayal of him at a recent political rally in Florida as one of “our great fighters.”

Photos show Gallagher, 40, and his wife Andrea chatting with Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the president’s swanky Palm Beach resort. “Finally got to thank the President and his amazing wife by giving them a little gift from Eddie’s deployment to Mosul,” Gallagher and his wife Andrea captioned the images, posted Saturday on a joint Instagram account.

    On Joy Reid's MSNBC show today, MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance went on a rant about Trump's pardoning of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher and other members of the military. Among other things, speaking of the Telly Savalas character in The Dirty Dozen—a murderer and rapist—Nance said:"It's almost as if Donald Trump thought, 'hey, that's my favorite character!' He has a mindset of where he thinks his personal toughness is men doing horrible things." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    The latest hero of the Never Trumpers — the ex-secretary of the Navy, Richard V. Spencer — is out with an op-ed column on what he learned from getting fired. The answer, it appears, is not much. His column, which appears in the Washington Post, turns out to be an exercise in constitutional misconception, self-righteousness, whinging, bellyaching about his superiors, and tin-eared politicking. Mr. Spencer, a Marine, was fired Sunday for misleading Secretary of Defense Esper over the case of Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher. The Navy had accused Gallagher of murdering a war prisoner — and of more than...

Gallagher,” read a Navy statement provided to USNI News. “He will retire from active duty. We will not provide additional details due to privacy concerns.”,p> Last week, Trump tweeted that the process should be stopped. “The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and...

    In an op-ed published by the Military Times, Sean Gallagher, brother of Navy SEAL Edward "Eddie" Gallagher, blasted politicians and military leaders who say President Trump's interventions in preventing more punitive action against his brother were wrong. Gallagher criticized "military attorneys, indignant Pentagon officials and your typical Washington establishment types" for being hypocritical when it came to good order and discipline. "Their views were mainly the same. The president’s actions were a moral hazard ! What message will it send our troops? What of good order and discipline? I have one question for these people: Where in the hell were...

    The Constitution expressly grants the authority to the president to issue pardons, and this power has been repeatedly invoked by presidents beginning with George Washington.  The lack of respect given to President Trump in connection with his relatively small number of presidential pardons is a disgrace. This presidential prerogative is particularly important when the President, as Commander-in-Chief, pardons a military officer under his direct chain of command.  Presidential pardons of servicemen who put their own lives on the line in defense of our freedoms should receive heightened respect by all.Reports are that Navy SEAL Special Chief Eddie Gallagher’s platoon mutinied...

    President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to sack Navy Secretary Richard Spencer for his handling of SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s disciplinary review, saying he will always have the backs of those who serve — except for deserters like Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. “I think what I’m doing is sticking up for our Armed Forces, and there’s never been a president that’s going to stick up for them, and has, like I have,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Bulgaria’s prime minister, Boyko Borissov. He contrasted his support for the military with how the Obama administration treated the...

    Eddie Gallagher, the Navy SEAL at the center of a high-profile standoff between President Trump and some top officials in the Navy, will retire from active duty and will not take part in a review board over his conduct in 2017 while deployed, a Navy spokesman said late Monday. Gallagher, a highly decorated SEAL who received two Bronze Stars with V for valor, was acquitted of murder in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive but was convicted of posing with the corpse. Lt. Cmdr. Clay Doss, the Navy spokesman, said there will be no additional information due...

    Appropriately, President and Commander in Chief Trump, through his Defense Secretary, told the slow on the uptake Navy secretary, Richard V. Spencer: "You're Fired!" It was a swift and fitting response, given that it now emerges that Spencer was sneaking around behind his boss's back and arguably "blackmailing" the president over the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. Spencer was a real problem all around in this incident. First, he slow-walked Trump's order to leave Gallagher alone first by insisting that Trump would need to issue a formal order to get him to do anything (fill out a form in...

    [Headline not true according to article] Navy Secretary Richard Spencer threatened to resign if the Navy was not allowed to go through with an administrative review board next month to determine if Eddie Gallagher could remain a SEAL, multiple Navy officials confirmed to Fox News. Earlier Saturday, The New York Times reported that along with Spencer, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Commander Rear Adm. Collin Green also threatened to resign if the Navy carries out the request of President Trump to restore Gallagher’s rank to chief petty officer after he was demoted last summer. Gallagher was found not guilty of murdering...

    The attorney for Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher said on "Fox & Friends" Thursday that the Navy is trying to humiliate his client by potentially taking away his SEAL Trident, as President Trump reaffirmed his support for the embattled soldier. "This is an action that they could have taken at any time from July right after the verdict, until today," his lawyer Tim Parlatore said. "President Trump takes action on a Friday afternoon — Monday morning, the admiral [Adm. Collin Green] comes in and brings everybody together and says 'I disagree with the president, we're going to take his Trident.'" "This...
