"Pentagon confirms American ISIS fighter captured in Syria"
This is not the only source Ive seen this in recently.
Gents could this be a more likely source for the change to tribunals, Rather Than trying Seditious American citizens from the 2016 election??
Some people want the military trials, but SOME want them tried in Federal Court. So the final paragraph of that Tribunal source posted, would explain the civilian law enforcement and military law enforcement working together, and making suggestions.
The captured American citizen ISIS fighter from Sept 17 in the second link will be seen as "enemy combatant" which ties in K22's posts about George Bush's laws about how to treat what are considered "terrorists".
But he ONLY the SECOND American citizen fighting internationally for ISIS to be brought back. the first being tried and convicted already in 17.
FROM ARTICLE: "On the campaign trail, Trump indicated he was open to detaining U.S. citizens at Guantánamo Bay and trying them at the military commissions there. It is currently illegal to try U.S. citizens at military commissions"
I am not making the connective leap from anything posted Ive read that implies American citizens from the election of 2016 will be tried by military tribunals. Seems Trump might just be following up with Executive action a pledge made during campaign.
Maybe theres another source you all have read, that I haven't, that implies this, and that notion is further supported by the recent Trump UCMJ changes?? If there is, Id like to read it.
The "National Emergency" directive explicitly references who "people" are and it is American Citizens, and seems aimed squarely at "wholly or partly " INTERNATIONAL business activities weve seen from the likes of the Clinton Foundation, that also play out domestically partly at some point. One could see how that business done has jeopardized American safety, as the directive reads There may be a reckoning for BOTH them that done business with the CF and the Foundation itself. But by the Military?? Eh, I cant get there.
Jag, I think youre questions about dont we have laws that account for American Citizens aiding the enemy inside America would be the Treason law, but AMERICAS version is so narrow, (War!?) that as Ive suggested, if Trump is gonna use it, the definition needs to be REwritten, and broadened. And no one has bothered to prosecute anybody for this type of thing for many decades, unfortunately.
I dont know of any other laws, but then Im not a student of the law. Perhaps it will have to be done under one of those all-encompassing, tentacled, vague laws K posted, from Geo Bush about what is a National Emergency.
Either Whip or K22 just posted lengthy articles re Trump having declared a Nat Emergency last Dec and the laws pertaining to the new UCMJ, Gen Mattis and Military Tribunals.,
Why post laws that have nothing to do with the topic under consideration and wonder why what we discussed is not contained therein?
Why not read their posts re same a few days ago?
