Trump pardons Army 1st LT Lorance, MAJ Goldstein and restores SEAL Gallagher to CPO rank...
I think this is really good news...
NEW: President Trump grants full pardons to Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Army Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, restores Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher to rank of Chief Petty Officer
President Trump has granted clemency to two Army officers accused or convicted of war crimes and restored Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher to the rank of chief petty officer after he was docked a pay grade after being convicted of posing for a photo with a dead Islamic State (ISIS) fighter, the White House announced Friday.
Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance could be released from the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as soon as Friday evening, six years after being found guilty of second-degree murder. Maj. Matt Golsteyn, a former Green Beret, will have the murder charge against him dropped.
“Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency (Full Pardon) for Army First Lieutenant Clint Lorance, an Executive Grant of Clemency (Full Pardon) for Army Major Mathew Golsteyn, and an order directing the promotion of Special Warfare Operator First Class Edward R. Gallagher to the grade of E-7, the rank he held before he was tried and found not guilty of nearly all of the charges against him,” the White House said in a statement Friday night.

Excellent news.
Now time to clean-out the JAG corps of the over-eager prosecutors who put them there and their bosses who signed-off on their predatory legal bearing.

I think that's great. I am very appreciative we have a President who has the guts to do the right thing even if it may not be popular.
Of course this time, it'll likely only be unpopular with the folks suffering from TDS.

I can’t say which for privacy reasons, but one of these guys lives in my neighborhood and my wife knows the family very, very well. This shit was tearing them apart. I am so happy this burden has been lifted from them

Absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t be happier!!!
***Edit... I could be happier. My wife (Korean who immigrated legally and became a US Citizen) just came and held up her wine glass and said “A toast to those three patriots. God bless our President for giving them freedom.”
Makes me love this woman even more.

Those are the types of immigrants we need. I'm sure there are plenty of "Americans" here we could trade for folks who would love to live in this country.
