acquitted gallagher after a crazy turnabout at trial where a key witness changed his story on the stand. gallagher was convicted of posing with the prisoner's dead body. sentenced to four months and a reduction in rank. throughout all this fox news has been advocating on his behalf despite the fact the entire chain of command of the u.s. armed forces have the responsibility of maintaining good order and discipline. gallagher was going to be expelled from the s.e.a.l.s following his conviction of posing with a corpse. but fox & friends pete hegseth has been lobbying the president to pardon the guy and it worked. the president pardoned gallagher and ordered the navy to restore his rank. then trump said he would stop the s.e.a.l.s from kicking him out of the unit so navy secretary richard spencer decided to pretend the tweet wasn't a formal order. this weekend gallagher went on trump tv to rail against his own commanding officers.
