Apparently King Trump knows better than the military courts. I assume he is just doing it to distract from his bigger problems.
FOX Trump grants clemency to 2 Army officers accused of war crimes, restores rank to Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher
Politico Roger Stone was found guilty. Now all eyes turn to Trump. The president will face pressure to pardon Stone after the GOP operative was found guilty of charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.
And likely that he may join them in prison if his tax records are released... No wonder he is scared.

"Lorance was six years into serving a 19-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth for ordering his soldiers to open fire and kill three men in Afghanistan. Lorence’s supporters say he killed Taliban fighters. Nine members of his unit testified against him, saying the men were innocent."
"Gallagher, a 15-year SEAL whose case garnered national attention, was found not guilty of murdering an ISIS fighter in Iraq in 2017 but was convicted in July of a lesser charge of posing for a photo with the dead ISIS prisoner's corpse."Then there is the question if he will start pardoning the members of his personal swamp? It is amazing how many of his friends and partners have been found guilty.

That we are now a nation that rewards war criminals is just something else Americans really need to get over.

I am assuming it is pretty hard to get a conviction in the military, it is surreal that Trump over turned them.
I am curious what his intent is:
- is it for political gain?
- does he support "Dirty Harry's" in the military?
I think it may be both. He seems to appreciate Dictators who kill innocent people. Maybe he envision soldiers like these indiscriminate killers as such.
Or he really liked Clint Eastwood's characters who shot them and let got God judge them...
The president likes bad guys. He prefers the people who shoot villagers, to the villagers who get shot.

The president has a gift for counter intuitive thinking. Outside the box is where he lives. Let's think about it for a moment. Given a chance to pick, on whose side would you want to be on? The ambassador's? Or Lev and Igor's, who were last seen with one way tickets on their way to Vienna? If you wanted to be a boss, what kind of boss would you want to be? The kind of boss who stands up for subordinates who had provided faithful and capable service for decades in pretty awful circumstances? Or the kind that remains silent when that employee comes under attack from Lev, from Igor, and from a particularly disreputable lobbyist? It's just interesting that confronted with the options, Trump made the choice that he did. He does resist the expected.

I wonder if the old saying
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
is part of Trump's problem?
I mean we know that his primary focus is Trump and how Trump is perceived...
Does this make him just too easy to manipulate?
I mean Giuliani just had to plant a seed that she had insulted him and he would take it from there.
