27 former Marine Corps and Navy lawyers are asking Congress to investigate the conduct of the Corps’ Commandant James Amos according to the Washington Times<\/a>. The former JAG officers charge that Amos used unlawful command influence in the “urination video” case;<\/p>\n

The former judge advocates say that Gen. Amos provided misleading sworn statements to the court when asked about his actions and withheld documents from defense attorneys.<\/p>\n

They also cite the actions of superiors against Maj. James Weirick, a staff judge advocate at the Combat Development Command in Quantico, Va.<\/p>\n

After watching what he considered inappropriate actions by the commandant and his legal staff, Maj. Weirick filed a complaint with the Defense Department Inspector General.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, superiors stripped Maj. Weirick of his legal duties, asked for his personal licensed weapons kept at home and advised him to seek a mental health evaluation \u2014 actions his lawyer calls blatant retaliation. Maj. Weirick has received superior fitness reports and was selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Times says that Amos’ legal advisor, Robert Hogue told the Marine Corps Times some ridiculous shit about how they were afraid that Weirick would go postal, ala<\/em> the Navy Yard shooting and that’s why they moved him away from his desk, cuz you know, a lawyer without a desk is not capable of mass shootings. The former JAGs included in their letter to Congress a sworn statement from the convening authority in the case, Lt. Gen. Thomas D. Waldhauser, who says that Amos ordered him to “crush” the defendants in the case. When Waldhauser refused, Amos removed him from the case with no explanation.<\/p>\n

Amos sounds totally legit to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
