Coffee or Die Magazine Demands Marines Stop Secret Scheller Hearing
Mil & Intel
By Carl Prine | October 05, 2021
On behalf of all media, on Tuesday morning, Oct. 5, Coffee or Die Magazine urged the US Marine Corps to halt a secret military hearing to decide the fate of Stuart Scheller, the outspoken lieutenant colonel and combat veteran who urged accountability from senior leaders for battlefield failures in Afghanistan.
Alerted that even congressional staffers might be barred entry by the Marines, Coffee or Die called on dozens of the Corps’ top attorneys to stay Tuesday’s initial review officer’s hearing to determine whether Scheller will continue to be held as a “flight risk” at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, pending an upcoming Article 32 hearing.
Marine officials have yet to respond to Coffee or Die’s request or to comment on a series of bombshell files leaked to the magazine that outline internal military efforts to broker a deal that would see the maverick Marine depart the Corps. In exchange, Scheller will plead guilty to some, but not all, charges leveled against him.
