    Bowe Bergdahl names Trump, McCain as defendants in civil suit

    Former U.S. Army Sgt. Robert “Bowe” Bergdahl is in the news again with a lawsuit he has filed against former President Trump and the late Senator John McCain, accusing them of exerting undue influence in his court-martial that took place in 2017.


    Bergdahl was accused of abandoning his post and deserting in Afghanistan in 2009. He was charged with endangering the lives of his fellow soldiers. Now, he has filed a civil lawsuit in an attempt to overturn his court-martial conviction.


    The disgraced Army sergeant filed the suit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Both Trump and McCain are accused of “unlawful command influence” in the lawsuit. Trump’s alleged conduct was also referred to as “scandalous meddling.”


    Also included in the filing is a fact that seems to have little to do with Bergdahl’s court-martial. He is claiming that a military judge handling his case did not disclose that Bergdahl had applied for a lucrative job at the U.S. Justice Department.

    I've got an idea Bergdhal... Let's just put you in the hands of the fellow soldiers you abandoned and left exposed when you took a hike in the middle of the night~

    In another era he would have. He has to live with what he did. I sure couldn't.

    The real criminals are the corrupt politicians who sent young Americans off to die based on lies.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
    --John Adams

    I am not sure what the federal court is going to do with this lawsuit. They tend to not insert themselves in military matters.

    I suppose a lot will have to do with how the military judge handled the issues of undue command influence. And the highest military appeals court heard the issue and made a decision against the defense.
