Fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer’s outburst at President Trump in a Washington Post op-ed published Wednesday, calling the president’s handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s case a “shocking and unprecedented intervention in a low-level review” is in and of itself shocking and unprecedented in several ways. FIRED NAVY SECRETARY CRITICIZES TRUMP FOR 'SHOCKING' INTERVENTION IN SEAL CASESpencer aligned himself with the prosecution, adding more weight to the suffocating pressure of a resource-rich bureaucracy bearing down on the defense attorney and his client, Gallagher. Spencer wanted the Navy to be right, so he followed prosecution guidance in a case that was marred by prosecutorial overreach. Christopher Czaplak secretly embedded a tracking virus in an image of the scales of justice and the American flag on emails he exchanged with Gallagher’s defense attorneys, affording him an illegal window into the defense strategy. Spencer argues that the president’s intervention in a “low level” case is counter to the good order and discipline of the military.
