I don't remember hearing about this atrocity by the madman regarding Navy Seal

Gallagher. Apparently the self proclaimed KING of fuckingham tweeted that the medals that were awarded to the prosecutors in the case HAD to be revoked.....and so they fucking were!

The man is a maniac.

Navy Rescinds Awards To Prosecutors In Case Of SEAL Acquitted Of Murdering Captive

Military awards given to prosecutors in a case against a SEAL who was acquitted of murder in the death of a prisoner in Iraq have been revoked by the Navy's top official after President Trump tweeted Wednesday that the commendations should be withdrawn.

Navy Secretary Richard Spencer ordered seven Navy Achievement Medals and three letters of commendation given to the prosecution team be rescinded, Navy spokesman Cmdr. Jereal Dorsey said Wednesday, hours after a pair of scathing tweets from the president.

--------------------------------

In Trump's tweets on Wednesday, the president said the prosecutors had been "ridiculously given" the awards, adding, "Not only did they lose the case, they had difficulty with respect ... to information that may have been obtained from opposing lawyers and for giving immunity in a totally incompetent fashion."

....to information that may have been obtained from opposing lawyers and for giving immunity in a totally incompetent fashion. I have directed the Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer & Chief of Naval Operations John Richardson to immediately withdraw and rescind the awards....

I realize this is from August but I think so much attention was paid to Gallagher that this went under the radar. Who the Hell does this Russian stooge think he is.

We must find our way out of this national nightmare. There has to be a way to prevent the majority being ruled by the few. These cult lovers must b defeated.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

It sounds like something "The Five" or Hannity would show on air rage over and get Trump fired up.
