This is false. In order for her (or any citizen) to be tried by a military court she would need to be declared an “enemy combatant” per the Law of Armed Conflict. Further according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice:

“In a time of declared war or a contingency operation, persons serving with or accompanying armed forces in the field...”

HR-6166 signed by GWB in 2006 further clarifies tribunals are exclusive for violations of the laws of war”

Nothing in the charging instrument comes anywhere close to this for Maxwell. She can only, ONLY be tried in an American Federal Court per her constitutional rights.

It is completely illegal for the government to do so in any fashion and a 3rd rate public defender would be able to get it thrown out and overturned if any entity even considered attempting this.

TLDR; tribunals for citizen non combatants is illegal.

Alright, I'm back, and not completely full of beer this time, I started rereading what you said, perhaps she's going to be the public trial that hopefully gets things rolling. I still don't know though, crimes against humanity my man... they're really, really bad. You seem like a cool, Legal Eagle type, that's cool, you had a good comeback too.

All good my man, I enjoy this topic immensely (obviously). My work now is M&A and anti-trust but I studied quite a bit of constitutional law back in the day and found it fascinating, especially the historical context behind these rulings. Right as I was beginning my career the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were kicking off and there was no shortage of legal opportunities to re-examine and challenge the case law for when a citizen is and is not protected by what I believe is the most important document ever recorded, save for the Bible.

Apologies as well if my attempt at humor came off dickish,

It was intended to be flippant but not disparaging.

Another Goat accounted for her location today (above) so that settles it for now. And you are correct about the term “crimes against humanity”. Many people are not aware that sexual trafficking and human enslavement meets that criteria.

We should all be glad this is in federal court where the evidence, witnesses, examination etc is all public record. I’m curious as hell if she and Epstein were in fact involved, or how involved they were and with whom else....OR was she just facilitating his perversions but it didn’t go further.

Should make for fascinating reading!

I can tell you're passionate about the law, similar to how I am with aerospace, your 10 inch joke was hilarious.

It’s really more of a respectable 5 1/2.
