The prosecution for sexual assault crumbled after questions arose about his primary accuser\u2019s credibility and whether military officials improperly rejected a previous plea deal because of political concerns.<\/p>\n<p>McHugh said he is prevented by federal law from taking further action, and did what he called, \u201clegally sustainable.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess it means that he&#8217;ll have to buy the generic store-brand corn flakes instead of getting the Kellogg brand.
