David McBride vs Goliath in a nutshell

David vs Goliath in a nutshell:

Government: ‘he stole [newspeak for copied] information but we can’t tell you what it is, so we took it off his lawyers and put it in a safe. We’ll all refer to it as the docs in the safe.’

Judiciary: ‘oh, ok, np!’

Defence Department Whistleblower: ‘Those docs showed what I believed to be leadership misconduct. I have no defence now; I plead guilty.’

6 months later…

Government: ‘Please jail him with non-parole period’

Judiciary: ‘lemme think about this for another week 🤔’

Yep, totally evil authoritarianism. No excuses, this is a clear act of tyranny.

Coming in hot raring to go from Twitter! I like it. Welcome! :)

BeeDemocracy,

Thanks!

BeeDemocracy,

What I don’t understand is how the case wasn’t thrown out by the justice when he wasn’t allowed to see the docs that were then put in the safe. THIS IS NOT A FAIR TRIAL. The defendent is prevented from presenting potentially exculpatory evidence, even to a closed court!

We don’t have any sovereignty anymore that’s why

BeeDemocracy,

That’s certainly a big part of it.
