Right or wrong about his political opinions, the colonel is right about this. Thank goodness publicity worked this time. [EpochTimes] Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller has been sprung from pretrial detention, but could still face charges for criticizing senior military officials over the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan, The Epoch Times has learned.Scheller was scheduled for a pretrial confinement initial review hearing Tuesday. Military officials planned to conduct the hearing in secret, sparking anger from some media outlets and members of the public. But prior to the hearing, the Marine Corps agreed to free Scheller, cancelling the pretrial review as a result, according to a source familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... Scheller has submitted a request for resignation of his commission in lieu of trial to the Secretary of the Navy, the source said, speaking under the condition of anonymity to avoid backlash from the military. Scheller could still face trial by court martial, the source said. Scheller captured headlines in late August for criticizing senior military leadership on the handling of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. His initial video was posted on the same day that 13 U.S. troops and more than 100 Afghans were killed in an attack outside of the international airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. He published another video on Sept. 16, saying that he was calling for "accountability of my big shots" over "obvious mistakes that were made." In that video, Scheller also said he was "submitting charges" against Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie for his role in the disastrous withdrawal. Scheller was reportedly thrown in the brig on Sept. 27, sparking outrage from some politicians and members of the public.

| #4 He got the attention he was seeking, and more. After the dust settles and the propaganda wars move on, I expect the actual truth will emerge, to little notice since its past the sell by date for news. |

| #2 Not surprised given all the attention the case was given. Then the personally unverified Anti-Trump remarks was the icing for the DC Brass & Socialcrats needed for the key to the jail door. While I doubt it will happen. It would not surprise me if next we read how the LTC. comments were misquoted..... after Social Media rewrites history. |

| #1 This is good news but the true criminals remain. They still attack Flynn whom I respect as the only one telling the truth. |
