JTN: A federal judge vacated the conviction and dishonorable discharge of Bowe Bergdahl, nearly six years after the former U.S. Army soldier was convicted of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
Judge Reggie Walton of the D.C. district court on Tuesday vacated all court-martial proceedings against Bergdahl after October 2017, per a 63-page ruling, citing a possible conflict of interest with the judge who issued the ruling in November 2017.
Then-military judge Army Col. Jeffrey Nance oversaw Bergdahl’s court martial and ruled that Bergdahl would be dishonorably discharged but avoid prison. Nance also reduced Bergdahl’s rank to private and ordered him to pay $10,000. more
I’m not a lawyer, so tell me why a federal court judge can reverse a decision by a military court martial? Using the logic of this decision, no federal judge could find Donald Trump guilty of any of the phony charges being leveled against him.
Bo Bergdahl should’ve got the Private Eddie Slovik treatment. If you don’t know Private Slovik was summarily executed by firing squad for desertion in World War 2 under personally signed orders by General Dwight D Eisenhower.
What I find disgraceful is civilian judges interjecting themselves and civilian procedures into military affairs, which has different standards and different protections. The reason for vacating the conviction might be valid, but let a military judge determine that, one that understands the ethos of military life and discipline.
We should also remember that 6 soldiers lost their lives looking for this deserter;

Were I counting the reasons I never voted FOR leftist GWB Reggie would likely be 951. But stopped counting decades ago!
GWB was a Democrate 25 years ago; still is! A liberal Dem!
For those too busy to be informed _mretired so I have time- Reggie is BFF of another leftist Judge
GWB nominated – ROBERTS!
I have yet to see a conservative Judge GWB nominated. Sure all his judges were not a leftist as Roberts/Reggie.
Im not _m!
?????
Has he been recommended for the medal of honor yet?
He let 0bama give him a blow job.
People lost their lives over this traitorous douchebag. It would be a shame if someone traveled to Idaho and explained it to him.
another grobama robe-nword to the rescue
ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT WITH LIBERALS’ FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER IT
THE FUN NEVER ENDS WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE
The families of the six soldiers who died looking for Bergdahl must be beside themselves.
This is disgraceful.
It’s Bullshit!
I wonder if Barky ever did get to Plow Bergdahl’s Mom?
He was getting a bit close there at the White House…
Kcir, I think he did his dad!
It’s really, really pathetic and disgraceful how insignificant life is with non-believers, communist lefty democrats and even RINOs.
The Judge is sending the message to others contemplating pulling the same stunt that The Party has your back. That is exactly what this is.
Someone find him and shoot him.
