It’s up to the next administration to prosecute the law-breakers who gave illegal orders. Whoever they are.
“The military has steadfastly said, we serve the Constitution, we will not carry out illegal orders. The orders to blow up those six boats, in my view and in the views of most legal scholars, are absolutely illegal. It is an extrajudicial killing." newrepublic.com/article/2019...
Transcript: Trump Boat Bombings Darken as Official Suddenly Resigns
As the head of the military’s Southern Command steps down, Adam Smith, the top Armed Services Committee Democrat, sheds new light on the departure—and on Trump’s appalling secrecy about the strikes.
