Trump criticism leads to rare criminal charges for Air Force officer who called for impeachment
Just some criticism, guys! And rare! Mostly because most members of the US military aren’t stupid enough to do this
A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN.
Maj. Jason Watson faces the following charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to the document: three violations of Article 88 for alleged “contemptuous” remarks about Trump, five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders and two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming an officer.

The rare Article 88 charges are connected to the Air Force officer’s June interview with the Defenders of our Republic Substack newsletter, his July 1 protest in uniform at the US Capitol, and an August 17 CNN interview.
It can be considered a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice to participate in uniform in any overtly partisan activity, such as a political protest, or to use “contemptuous words” against the president and other high-ranking civilian officials. Many low-level offenses of these rules are resolved informally, but Watson’s violations were unusually high-profile.
Not can, is
The rest of Excitable Brian’s tweet reads “… service members arrested for speaking out against the president, isn’t a president. They are a dictator.” Like Biden? Agree with Scheller or not, he 100% got what he asked for. You join the military and there are certain things you cannot do. Scheller could have left the service, as could have Watson. All the Credentialed Media were saying Scheller got what he deserved.
