On Military Tribunals

“If that fucking bastard wins, we all hang from nooses.” 

~Hillary Clinton to staff after Matt Lauer questions at Commander in Chief forum October 2016

I wonder what kind of crime Hillary knew she committed that could result in death by hanging? Could it be treason?

The only crime defined in the Constitution is treason:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted. Article III Section 3, U.S. Constitution

“The Congress shall have the power to declare the punishment of treason”:

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. 18 U.S. Code § 2381 – Treason

And don’t forget the crime of Misprision of Treason, or Misprision of Felony—having knowledge that treason was underway, but failing the affirmative duty to report it to a court.  Jail time and a fine for knowing and not saying anything.

Fast forward to today, more than a year later.  In January 2018, after more than a year of investigations, Clinton is rapidly seeing her fortune and fortunes fade.

And the treason has unfolded even more: Uranium One, the seditious and treasonous attack on Trump and his family led by Clinton and her minions in the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and DNC…not to mention Benghazi, ISIS, the Arab Spring, Haiti, child trafficking satanic sacrifice, and pedophilia.  These are serious crimes against Americans, and crimes against humanity, and crimes that violate human rights world wide.

So let me ask you a question:

• Do you think that Clinton, Obama, Lynch, Valerie Jarrett, or Podesta are going to stand in a civilian court of law with corrupt judges and jurists?

I don’t.  They would easily buy the judge off and jurors, or threaten them with their lives.  That’s how the Clinton’s and Obama’s play.  Trump had to find a way in which these officials can be held accountable for their treasonous, destructive, seditious behavior.

Hence:

Trump’s Executive Order on Human Rights Violations & Corruption

I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.  ~President Trump, December 21, 2017, Executive Order

The crimes against our country and humanity committed by Obama and Clinton, as well as actors in their world-wide network, are the target of Trump’s Executive Order of December 21, 2017.  The acts of Clinton and cabal can be seen as waging war against these United States through maladministration, misappropriation of funds, bribes, kickbacks, and blackmail.

Describing these crimes as a threat to national security, foreign policy, and the economy of the U.S. and declaring a national emergency paves the way for the use of Military Intelligence (not the alphabet agencies) and military tribunals.

Military Detention  and Trial of U.S. Citizens

Can the President detain U.S. citizens and try them under a military tribunal?  The law on the subject seems to suggest so.  The detention of US Citizens  can occur if they can be considered as belligerents under law:

By universal agreement and practice, the law of war draws a distinction between the armed forces and the peaceful populations of belligerent nations and also between those who are lawful and unlawful combatants.  Lawful combatants are subject to capture and detention as prisoners of war by opposing military forces.  Unlawful combatants are likewise subject to capture and detention, but in addition they are subject to trial and punishment by military tribunals for acts which render their belligerency unlawful.

In a military court of justice, military law applies and in this sense, the “constitutional rights” enjoyed by civilians in a civilian court do not exist for those in a military tribunal–they lose their constitutional protections.  Although the Nuremberg tribunals allowed each defendant to hire their own lawyer, it is customary for military lawyers to handle the defense and prosecution.  The jury in a military court is made up of military officers.

Clinton would lose…her constitutional rights; a civilian attorney(?); a civilian jury; a civilian judge likely corrupted by politics and owing their appointment to a political process, and the fawning media who would “spin” the language of the system.  Only facts prevail, not politics.

The point is that Clinton et al’s belligerency–sedition, treason, murder, bribery, pay-to-play schemes, theft, and graft will only be held responsible and accountable through a military tribunal.  The Clinton-Obama-Bush cartel, their agency minions, and their media enablers committed crimes against the United States.  They should be punished in a military court of law.
