It’s disgusting the DOJ won’t do their job. The continued coverup is going to back fire on the DOJ and all they’re protecting.

Well. Yeah. Remember this:
The Trump administration has not dismantled the entire Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG), but in February 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the top uniformed lawyers for the Army and Air Force and requested a nomination for the Navy JAG position, which was already vacant. This action was part of a wider purge of senior military and government officials and has been met with significant controversy and legal challenges. Details of the Actions • Firings and Replacements: The administration dismissed the Army JAG, Lt. Gen. Joseph B. Berger Ill, and Air Force JAG, Lt. Gen. Charles Plummer, arguing it was "time for fresh blood" and that the previous officers were not well-suited for their roles. The administration sought new, "merit-based" nominations for these positions. • Concerns over Independence: Critics, including former military lawyers and lawmakers, have expressed serious concerns that the firings are an attempt to replace independent legal counsel with political loyalists who might not challenge potentially unlawful orders. JAG officers are responsible for providing independent legal advice to military commanders and ensuring actions comply with the law of war and the Constitution. • Impact on the Rule of Law: The move is viewed by many as an attack on the rule of law within the military and could undermine commanders' access to frank, unbiased legal advice, potentially leading to catastrophic errors in judgment.
