Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he had a"robust discussion" with President Donald Trump on Tuesday following reports that the president could intervene in the criminal cases of several American service members convicted or accused of war crimes.
Lorance is serving 19 years in prison, convicted on two counts of second-degree murder for ordering a soldier to fire on unarmed Afghan motorcyclists in 2012. Golsteyn is charged with the murder of an alleged Afghan bombmaker in 2010. And Gallagher, while acquitted of killing a wounded Islamic State captive earlier this year, was sentenced to four months of time served and a reduction in rank for posing with a corpse during a 2017 deployment to Iraq.
According to one official, the meeting was to compile information packets about their relevant cases that Esper could provide to the president. Golsteyn's lawyer, Phil Stackhouse, said that the president's"imminent action" is an example of civilian leadership over the U.S. military.

Trump is a crook. How can he even, with all his ill-gotten reasoning, make any good judgment regarding anything remotely associated with war crimes. He's obviously dishonest. Are you being perverted by this perverter as well?

How is that? The President can intervene? As in obstruct? Not if it's his own case.
Abuse of authority, as always.
Trump needs to sit down and shut up.
In other words, he begged Trump not to fire him for disagreeing.
Soon to be former defense secretary.
What does that even mean? 'Robust discussion?' I'll take it as, Boeing Lobbyist/SECDEF Mark Esper was summoned to the Oval, where Trump spoke *at* him for 45 minutes on topics that ranged from war crimes to the time on The Apprentice he told Gary Busey he had an ugly tie.
So what exactly was said during this “robust” conversation?
Cool stuff. Anyway, this is more important:
Too often the MSM is found to be so untrustworthy.
