Don Brown: Eddie Gallagher is cleared, but two other officers face bogus politically-driven murder charges
By Don Brown | Fox News
Marc Mukasey talks about what it took to win this case and next steps for the Gallagher family.
Lost in the euphoria of a U.S. Navy jury acquitting Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher of bogus murder charges are the families of two American Army officers similarly caught up and betrayed by their country – for political reasons only.
82nd Airborne Lieutenant Clint Lorance has served nearly seven years of a 19-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth for the “murder†of two Taliban bomb-makers who his men shot and killed as they charged their platoon on a motorcycle in Afghanistan in 2012.
Major Matt Golsteyn, a Green Beret officer, had already left active duty when he was yanked back in order to prove a political point and now faces a “murder†trial at Fort Bragg for tracking down and killing a Taliban bomb-maker.
