Tom Rooney said.<\/p>\n<p>Rooney, a former prosecutor at Fort Hood, joined efforts with Rep. Tim Griffin and Rep. Frank Wolf to introduce the Stop Pay for Violent Offenders Act, which would allow the military to suspend pay for Hasan and other members of the military arrested in connection with serious crimes. The money would be set aside pending the outcome of the trial. If a soldier is convicted, the money would be paid to the victims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do believe this is good policy, and we know that the government believes that, too, because other agencies utilize it,&#8221; Rooney said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m pretty sure that it&#8217;s too late to do anything about Hasan, and let&#8217;s hope that we don&#8217;t need the law going forward. But Congress excels at closing the barn door after the horses are out.<\/p>\n<p><embed width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/media.nbcdfw.com\/assets\/pdk449\/pdk\/swf\/flvPlayer.swf?pid=ig8Zgf4TUkpC\" flashvars=\"v=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcdfw.com%2Fi%2Fembed_new%2F%3Fcid%3D216699121%26path=%2F%2Finvestigations\"allowFullScreen=\"true\" AllowScriptAccess=\"always\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian sends us a link to an article on NBC about some people finally getting around &hellip; <a title=\"Stop Hasan&#8217;s pay\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36767\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Stop Hasan&#8217;s pay<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36767\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
