Justice I feel so relieved. I feel relieved. I don't see how it could have been otherwise, but I do know that it could have been otherwise.

Military justice Of the more than 6,200 sexual-assault reports, made by United States service members in fiscal year 2020, only 50 — only 0.8 percent — ended in sex-offense convictions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, roughly one-third as many convictions as in 2019. It’s unclear why sexual-assault convictions have gone down, but it's part of a much larger trend: Courts-martial dropped by 69 percent from 2007 to 2017, according to Military Times, perhaps because commanders are instead choosing administrative punish- ments, which are bureaucratically easier but also result in milder punishments for the perpetrators, such as deductions in rank or administrative discharges.

Trumpists say It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tiered justice system. If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you. They're gonna bury you. They're gonna put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the Constitution there. Louie Gohmert, complaining about the FBI's arrest of Peter Navarro for refusing to respond to a subpoena to testify before the January 6 committee days after a grand jury acquitted a Democrat accused of lying to the FBI © 2022 Kwiple.com
