Judge: Bergdahl to get fair sentence, despite Trump remarks

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — President Donald Trump’s scathing criticism of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will not prevent the soldier from receiving a fair sentence for endangering comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009, a judge ruled Monday.

The judge, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, said the court has not been directly affected by Trump’s remarks. Then-Republican nominee Trump repeatedly called Bergdahl a traitor on the campaign trial and suggested that he be shot or thrown from a plane without a parachute. Trump revived those comments when Bergdahl pleaded guilty on Oct. 16 by saying at a news conference that he thinks people are aware of what he said before.

This Army Judge has been a no-bullshit guy throughout this case, from what I can see.  It appears he's unmoved by the Defense contention Trump ruined Berghdhal's chance for a fair sentence.  A good sign, I hope. 

Hopefully soon we'll see a Meme go up with Bergdhal's sad-sack face and the words, "He Broke Me!"
